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.

Monster.Literature M To Z has an entry about, and that starts with The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood. This is a fairy tale / literature that has its own Work Page at Literature.Sleeping Beauty (an alternative name for the work).

Request to change The Sleeping Beauty in the Wood to Sleeping Beauty so the Trope entry directly links to the work's page.

Here is a Complete Monster (Nergal) which should be added into the Monster-World of Darkness subpage: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/VampireTheMasquerade

Also, Augustus Giovanni's entry has "so he can enslave" written twice, please fix it too in said subpage.

I'll bring Nergal to the thread, but please indeed change Giovanni's last sentence at World Of Darkness to "Desiring to supplant God himself, Augustus enslaves countless wraiths to eventually destroy the Shroud and cause the world to be utterly overrun by the dead so he can enslave both the living and the dead and become the unquestioned master of everyone."

Here's my idea for a Bendis-to-DC bit.

On November 7, 2017, DC Comics and Bendis made a surprising announcement: that he had signed a "multi-year, multi-faceted" writing deal with the Distinguished Competition, though it is unknown exactly when it will begin. Bendis later said that he was leaving Marvel on amicable terms, and that he feels characters he co-created such as Jessica Jones, Miles Morales and Riri Williams are in the hands of "the classiest editorial team in comics".

Over on the Laconic Improvemnt thread (first brought up here), we discussed adding to Laconic.Fast Eddie. There's not been a lot of discussion, but maybe more feedback can be had here?

[EDIT: Further discussion was had and I've changed this suggestion to match the agreed upon change.]

I suggested (in the comment right after the linked one above) that the page be changed to the following for the laconic itself:

The Troper: TV Tropes' retired founder.

The Video Game: A platformer game starring a fast man named Eddie who collects prizes and avoids Sneakers.

And then for the thing at the bottom:

The troper is going where he is going, and the video game has a lot of hearts to give.

Can you make Diegetic Sound Bridge a redirect to Interscene Diegetic (it's the technical term). Also, Interscene Diegesis Continuum, which better describes it than the current title.

A a missing closing bracket needs to be added on Monster.Live Action TVM To Z, for the character Timmy Kirk:

Before:

After:

  • Timmy Kirk is a sociopathic murderer who gets by in Oz despite his mediocre intellect and physical strength, due to his sheer ruthlessness and treachery. A flashback shows that he was incarcerated for homicide after putting a baby, implied to be his own, in a rat-infested dumpster, over the desperate protests of its mother. Initially a low-ranking member of the Irish gang, he makes a name for himself in prison by routinely betraying one gang for another. He seals Jeremiah Cloutier in a wall to die a slow and painful death in response to the latter casting Kirk out of his gang for his erratic behavior. After Father Mukada refuses to accept Kirk's reversion to Catholicism, Kirk responds by burning down Mukada's church in hopes of killing him. When Mukada survives the attack, Kirk continues to hound him with absurd allegations of sexual molestation. Kirk, by now facing execution, is simply happy that he might die knowing that the allegations could see Mukada permanently stripped of his priesthood.

Yup. All Complete Monster pages (except Quotes.Complete Monster, and that one we keep an eye on) to prevent edit warring and unauthorized additions/deletions.

EDIT: It can be tricky enough keeping an eye on the YMMV pages, much less if the CM pages themselves were unlocked.
