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.

@Xtifr, so that's Implied Trope? Or what? Does Ambiguous Situation, with the other option just being a demon of some other kind, fit?

Those are both possibilities, I suppose, but it's hard for me to say for sure, since I'm not familiar with the work.

If there's really nothing more to it, I suppose I might go with something like "In what may have been an innocent slip, this kid's show implied the existence of this trope when they mentioned..."

I'm fine with that. Could be Getting Crap Past the Radar too, but that's the show's only use of incubi... Although sending a kid to handle one is what the scene was talking about, so, dunno.

Can we get the YMMV page for Mulan opened up? I would like to remove the entries for Alternative Character Interpretation since they do not fit the criteria.

The first is not fitting since it clearly is not true and falls under different tropes if they wish to argue such, the second is more of a fanon since no indication is made for Shang falling for Mulan till after the movie, while the last one is just unnecessary.

[up] That's unlikely to happen for the foreseeable future, sadly. The Troll Who Must Not Be Named is probably waiting for just that to swoop in with his next Angrish sock.

[up] If the mods agree to the removal of the entries, they can do it themselves if they are concerned about someone taking advantage of a window of time. Not ideal but still a good way to handle it.

If it fits within the Complete Monster guidelines, the content of YMMV.Vice should be moved to Monster.Film S To Z.

YMMV.Vice is an orphaned subpage, thus it can be cutlisted once its content is moved.

  • 17520: did the first one. Second one still sounds like it's in discussion.
  • 17522-24: done.
  • 17525: are you asking for a lock / adding to the PRLC? If so, see my response to an earlier similar request.
  • 17529: Not getting unlocked as of yet. Also, not really finding your reasons for removal convincing. They're YMMV items specifically about fans' varying perspective on a character.
  • 17532/538: done
  • 17539: Please take it to the CM clean-up thread for confirmation it's a good example.

For the second one in 17520, I think we basically came to agreement, although no one ever pasted the pieces together for your convenience. So here it is now.

Horny Devils:

  • The Life and Times of Juniper Lee: In the episode "Take My Life Please", in what may have been an innocent slip, this kid's show implied the existence of this trope when they mentioned a "fifth level incubus", who is summoning a demon from another dimension.

It seems the Needs Wiki Magic Love list has been locked.

Please remove The Cobweb, as I have created a full work page for that movie.

Done to here otherwise.

Can we get a lock on the Laconic.The Red Pill, Trivia.The Red Pill, and YMMV.The Red Pill pages, please? We haven't quite ironed out the description on Film.The Red Pill, but the concerning edits seem at least easier to make sense of on there. More detail  Thanks.

Please lock Valiant Comics and add it to Comic Books for works with their own pages.

At Dragon Ball, please replace the Video Games entry with this:

At Video Games A To K, please replace the Dragon Ball stuff with this:

At JAG, please remove the 3rd NCIS entry (Rico Caldas and his partner).

Please cut the Breaking Bad entry from Live Action TVA To L.

Please cut Purple Man from Marvel Comics.

At Web Original, please cut the Channel Awesome tree and add this:

  • Atop the Fourth Wall: Mechakara is a robot from an Alternate Universe where Linkara's Robot Buddy Pollo turned evil, killed him, and robots overthrew humanity. His plans revolved around sending Linkara into a mental breakdown; and, when that fails, he captures him and plans to kill him slowly, simply because his death went too fast the first time around. While that would normally make him just another killer robot, he stands out when, after getting the magic MacGuffin that he came for, he decides instead to destroy all organic life in the multiverse. During the Silent Hill Dead/Alive videos, Mechakara slowly mind rapes Linkara into thinking he's the (actually long dead) man who tortured his daughter to create Linkara's Magic Gun and almost convinces him to kill himself. In To Boldly Flee, Mechakara passes himself off as Linkara and infiltrates the USS Exit Strategy, intending to kill the entire crew with the help of the forcibly assimilated Todd and Nostalgia Chick. Mechakara would later assimilate the crew of the Caelestis space station and drained the life force of one astronaut in an attempt to recharge the ship. Only working with others when his goals coincide with theirs and perfectly willing to kill them otherwise, Mechakara is fueled only by his hatred for Linkara and all organic life forms.

Thanks [tup]
