Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

Go To

This thread is for requesting edits or unlocks to Locked Pages or for requesting locks. It can also be used for technical requests to moderators such as:

  • creating new pages in the Main/ and other restricted namespaces without going through Trope Launch Pad
  • moving discussion pages
  • moving reviews

Please keep the following guidelines in mind:

  1. Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
  2. Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
  3. If asking for edits, state your changes exactly as they should appear on the page, including proper Example Indentation, namespacing, and pothole and quote formatting. And make sure that what you want to add is actually a valid example.
  4. We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
  5. If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here.
  6. If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
  7. To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
  8. Some locked pages have ongoing cleanup threads, like Complete Monster (Thread), Five-Man Band (Thread), and Magnificent Bastard (Thread). Other than purely technical requests, edits to these pages ought to be discussed in these threads first.
  9. Also, we do not do direct edits (other than changing wicks) to Magnificent Bastard or Complete Monster example lists. Rather, you need to do the edit to a sandbox page that follows the format Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard<Name of the example subpage> and Sandbox.Monster<Name of the example subpage> (e.g for Monster.Disney it's Sandbox.Monster Disney) and ask for it to be swapped in on Saturday for Magnificent Bastard and on Monday for Complete Monster.
  10. Inappropriate pages that keep being recreated, pages banned under The Content Policy and subpages that are disallowed (like Headscratchers pages for tropes) are valid reasons for requesting page locks.

NOTE: Edited with OP's permission.

Please add this to YMMV.Fire Emblem Gaiden:

  • Narm: If a character falls in battle in Echoes, other characters may tearfully lament their fallen comrade during the post-battle results screen. What should be a Tearjerker can become silly if playing on Casual, since Final Death is turned off and the characters are fine. For example, Est having a breakdown from losing Catria or Palla comes across as her being major drama queen.

Can someone please lock the pages for The Grim Edventures of Ed Edd N Eddy? I caused a controversy involving myself and the author, and I'm worried he might edit it to denounce me.

Alright, taking stock:

  • Josef 5678, that's a wee bit too many requests. That could be sandboxed. Or we could try an unlock.
  • Kelothan: Asking for input.
  • Morgenthaler: Unlocked America Saves the Day.
  • isoycrazy: Aversions are not notable. Is there a reason why this one is?
  • Wuz: Leaving this to someone else.

Everything else done.

Most everything looks good, but, and this may be my bad, but please add this sentence to the end of Julio's entry for Cross Ange at Anime And Manga A To J (the original entry had a different last sentence than the YMMV or something):

When she escapes, Julio, taking advantage of a proposal from the mysterious Embryo to destroy and recreate of the world, eagerly decides to simply "purify" the Norma, regardless of age, and launches a brutal attack on their home of Arzenal to kill all of them, including Ange.

Here's a slight rewrite for Comic Books:

  • Clive Barker's Next Testament: Wick, "The Father of Colors", is a psychotic, hedonistic entity who inspired both God and the Devil from the Bible. Having caused all manner of chaos in the past, including flooding the Earth just to see how it would look, he was locked away for 2,000 years by his brothers, Unan and Filt, before being awakened by a rich old man named Julian Edmond. After taking Julian's lover as a sacrifice and brutally killing everyone at Julian's encampment, along with almost everyone at a dinner party back at Julian's mansion, Wick announces his second coming to the world by causing every single aircraft on Earth to plummet to the ground at once, killing hundreds of thousands. After traveling with Julian to Hollywood, Wick, bored with what humanity has become and deciding that he preferred the Earth with a smaller population, starts randomly wreaking havoc through the world, killing millions and wiping out the entirety of the Midwestern United States. Wick blots out the sun and has a swarm of locusts assault the world after he is dissatisfied with a pyramid built in his honor, and later murders both a young lady who he supposedly liked as well as Julian, both merely for questioning him. Wick, after failing to see anything worth saving, finally announces his intent to obliterate everything and start over, and even upon his defeat Wick gloats that he'll one day be back. A self-absorbed being with near-limitless power, Wick proves himself to be a far cry from the benevolent depictions of God.

I'd like to request a small edit for Monster.Video Games L To Z. In the Sorceress example under Spyro the Dragon, it said she wanted to kill three hundred baby dragons. That number is incorrect. There are only one hundred and fifty one baby dragons in the game. (150 eggs, but the last egg carried twins). The number 300 was most likely a mix up for the number of wings she needed.

Requesting a few edits to YMMV.Fire Emblem Gaiden (why was it locked by the way? And what did the Administrivia page mean with example policing? Who's the Base-Breaking Character ?)

  • All-Star Cast: The English dub features outstanding voice acting that either stands alongside Fire Emblem Fates or soundly beats it in that area. Alm, Celica and Berkut are considered to be among the best the game has to offer.
  • Playing Against Type: Ian Sinclair usually plays shonen characters in anime, or completely normal people. In this game? He plays Berkut, a Tragic Villain Ensemble Dark Horse.
  • Narm Charm: Some of the Support banter between characters falls into this. The writing and voices all sound just like typical high fantasy novels. Clive/Mathilda, Zeke/Tatiana and Berkut/Renea are the shining examples.

All-Star Cast and Playing Against Type are Trivia, not YMMV. The All-Star Cast example is also Zero Context and too heavily opinionated to be on a Trivia page.

Your Narm Charm example is also Zero Context on top of being misused. Support convos usually aren't Played for Drama (hell, many are Played for Laughs), so they fail an important criteria for being considered Narm (which is needed to have Narm Charm).

Please remove the first They Changed It, Now It Sucks! example on YMMV.Fire Emblem Gaiden. It's factually inaccurate.

At Marvel Comics, please move Thanos Imperative entry before the Thor stuff, and move Strucker after the Sleepwalker entry.

At DC Comics, please move Arthur Light before Major Force.

Also, please remove the Digimon example from Video Games A To K and add Digimon to Video Games for works with their own pages.

Thanks.

I only wanted the first one deleted. You deleted both. :/

Please delete the entire Broken Base section of YMMV.Fire Emblem Gaiden. I took the examples to the Broken Base cleanup thread and was told none of them qualify.

More YMMV.Fire Emblem Gaiden edits:

* Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Before you fight Nuibaba at Fear Mountain in the original Gaiden, the game treats you to some Purple Prose narration. None of the other maps in the game have any sort of narration, so it feels like an omniscient narrator suddenly enters the story just to vanish immediately afterwards.
  • Delete the Draco in Leather Pants example. I'm pretty sure Fighteer's post explaining the deal with DILP was posted in here earlier, and if not you can just ask him to clarify.
  • So Berrenta... you put the wrong They Changed It, Now It Sucks! example back. And I didn't notice when I gave you the [tup] because I chronically fail spot checks. The Mila one needs to be gone while the beard one stays.
  • Delete the Vindicated by History example. While the game probably does qualify, the example is poorly written (both grammatically and otherwise) and I don't know how to salvage it into a proper write-up. The Fates jab is also unnecessary.
