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:
- Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
- Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
- 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.
- We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
- If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here
.
- If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
- To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Yeah... sorry. I often mix up rename and redirect when they both do different things. Thanks for renaming the page btw.
Bookend: It's registered as a redirect to Book Ends, but doesn't exist.

Septimus: You'll have to talk to the CM thread about that.

Is there a reason that DethroningMoment.Death Battle is just a placeholder and not a member of the Permanent Redlink Club? If we don't want the page because it attracts drama, just nuke it. Other Dethroning pages have been burned before, so I don't know why this one specifically has to be a placeholder instead.

Can't remember the exact reasoning why it was kept, but it was probably inbound-based. ~Fighteer was the one who made the change.

Because I wanted people looking for the page to know why we nuked it. It sends an unambiguous message.

Wouldn't listing it on PRLC do the same thing? And why only this page and not other such problematic pages?
It's good, Septimus, but you should remove the final sentence as I delete the emoting in YMMV and Crowning Moment pages too.

Hi again, I'm here to tell you that the official boxart for Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are revealed and I found them on Bulbapedia (Go to the page for Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon)
Can anyone add them in since the page is locked?

What I said above stands.
I've put a bit more explanation of the Complete Monster example issue into the thread. I am not going to cry if another moderator (such as nombretomado which normally handles additions here) adds it regardless, but it is a common issue with examples for that trope.

Add small updates to an entry on Monster.Film A To E:
- Barbarian Queen: Lord Arrakur and his army wipe out Amethea's village, along with at least one other village over the course of several days raiding. He abducts the young men, forcing them to be gladiators in his arena and takes the women, including Amethea's younger sister, to be sex slaves. Arrakur allows his men to murder, rape and murder as they please. He captures Amethea and tortures her for information on the whereabouts of the rebels and tries to have her broken in anticipation of making her an obedient Sex Slave.
Please make Skull Motif a redirect to Skeleton Motif.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"
On Administrivia.Complete Monster, please correct "Film/TheAvengers" to "Film/{{The Avengers|2012}}"

Please add this to the end of the Grimm Fairy Tales tree at Comic Books:
- Lucinda, the Dark Queen, is the ultimate villain of the Age of Darkness storyline, and one of the biggest threats in the entire comic. Once a bored sociopath of a princess who killed others for fun and allowed herself to be corrupted by the dark arts, Lucinda formed a partnership with the Dark One, Malec, and went on a killing spree with him to annihilate anything that didn't submit to her. When Malec had a child with another princess, Lucinda murdered the woman and commanded Malec to kill the infant who he named Lucifer, later murdering the surviving girl in her adulthood to twist the knife to Malec. Finally trying to kill Malec due to his "weakness", the Dark Queen takes over the realms with people being slaughtered by the thousands so Lucinda can bask in the agony of their fate. Intending to subjugate or murder everything she can, Lucinda only justifies herself by claiming that "bad girls have all the fun".
- 16560: Upload the image and then provide the link.
- 16564: "Skull motif" brings up Skeleton Motif as one of the top 5 results, not a substantial benefit. Declined.
I think we're caught up otherwise.

So what's the status of this (minus the Deathstalker example)?
I'll see to make some of these edits this afternoon. I haven't got much commentary.

Please lock the two recently cut Headscratchers pages (Four Fingered Hands and The Grim Reaper)
Wild Child
In Arrakur's entry on Monster.Film A To E, switch the first "murder" to "torture".
Why so serious?
How? Here's the page btw
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/PokA9mon_Ultra_Sun_and_Ultra_Moon
You'll find the boxart to your right.

At Literature A To F, for Coraline, please get rid of the second pothole to the film.

Doing so far, but what is the point of the Blade of the Immortal, Hickey and Billy Blim rewrites, other than to cut the last sentence of the current Billy Blim writeup? As for the Arena writeup, there is a bit of fluff (the Kick the Dog item for example) and we don't do "aforementioned" in examples. Stopping there as all the other additions likewise seem to tolerate a shortening.

You're confusing moving a page with redirecting it. You have to copy the content from one to the other. It's now at the proper title.
