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.

Pirates Vs Ninjas needs a redirect transplant from Cool Versus Awesome to Pirates vs. Ninjas.

Changing redirects is a free action, as long as they aren't locked. I've done it for you.

Requesting preemptive lock on LetsPlay.Pewdiepie and all subpages due to the latest scandal involving him note , which has a large part of the Internet up in arms one way or another. (Especially given his history of controversial actions.)

In YMMV.Fire Emblem Warriors, please delete the first Author's Saving Throw example. It's ultimately unnecessary and seems like a misuse of the trope since the initial complaints were from a time when not much was known about the game.

For the third example of the same trope on the same page, please remove the "To some extent towards" part for being Weasel Words/Word Cruft. Or just delete the entire thing wholesale for being another outdated complaint; I don't care.

Finally, add the four line break (----) to the bottom of the page.

YMMV.Fire Emblem Warriors edit is done. The locking request for Lets Pew Die Pie is denied until the time where there is an actual issue on the page; I remember controversies about this person in the past and yet no locks were needed.

If Fire Emblem Warriors is locked, it needs to be added to Locked Pages with a reason.

From here:

More YMMV.Fire Emblem Warriors edits.

Please remove the Awesome Moments, Funny Moments, and Heartwarming Moments examples. I've moved them to their own pages.

I got a couple image suggestions for the Image Links section of Complete Monster, they are all Pennywise from IT. Let me know which one works, or we could do all three.

[up] Always look through the locked pages, since they need to go through the thread first. That example (in a totally different form) dates back to 2011.

The 1990 incarnation of Pennywise counts, so the 1990 one could be suggested.

For that Wadanohara entry to be added to L to Z, I made a slight alteration:

  • Sal is an albino salmon shark masquerading as a friendly dolphin under Princess Uomi's court. As the Ambassador of the Sea of Death, Sal conspires to release Princess Mikotsu, the result of which would plunge the sea into death and madness. In the past, Sal steals the sacred sword whilst sexually assaulting Wadanohara in an attempt of extracting information from her. When Samekichi—Wadanohara's familiar as well as Sal's twin brother—defeats him, Sal gleefully removes Wadanohara's memories before incriminating Samekichi as the traitor. Sal also orchestrated the war between the Sea Kingdom and the Totsusa Kingdom by sending an inflammatory letter to Princess Totsusa. While he claimed to have genuinely loved Wadanohara, he doesn't hesitate with stabbing her with the sacred sword and leaving her for dead when she rejects his advances. A psychopathic sadomasochist, Sal darkens the mood of an otherwise light-hearted game.

Requesting to fix a Typo on G.I. Joe

For Skull Buster's entry:

  • long their travels, Skull Buster has his troops murder any and all people they come across, be they Taliban soldiers or innocent villagers-inclusing children—in order to steal their supplies.

including is misspelled as inclusing.

Thanks.

VideoGame.Pokemon Ultra Sun And Ultra Moon needs to be a redirect to VideoGame.Pokemon Sun And Moon. The former was confirmed to be an Updated Re-release of the latter today, and we don't split pages for Pokémon third versions.

The YMMV page also needs to be turned into a redirect to YMMV.Pokemon Ultra Sun And Ultra Moon.
