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.

Skill Levels redirect to Spell Levels, as it can be applied to more than just spells.

On Monster.Anime And Manga A To J, edit this line in Prime Minister Honest's entry.

"By the end of the series, Honest manipulates the Empire..."

"Empire" should be changed to "Emperor".

Political Correctness Gone Mad: Please add under the parodies, web original section:

  • Parodied in ''Social Justice Detective". Jack Stryker is a Cowboy Cop who investigates crimes related to social justice, but is constantly torn up about the fact that he is a straight white male and might fall to The Dark Side by becoming a stooge for the patriarchy.

I'd like to ask if it's okay to request for a Troper page to be deleted.

In this case, specifically Tropers.Spongebob Squarepants

The reasons: it's a complete stub, it hadn't been edited in 8 years, the troper in question doesn't seem to have contributed in ages, it is sharing the title of a work page with lots of subpages, and of all of them, it's the last to still have improper capitalization (SpongebobSquarepants instead of SpongeBobSquarePants) after a big effort to standardize them.

For Fan Works, Cooper (from You Seem Acquainted with Those Doors) wasn't deemed a cut. The fic isn't schlock material; I was using him as a comparison with another version of the killer who failed to qualify because of exploitation.

[up] I didn't request it to be cut. Since FNAF has more than 1 fan work, it's just getting its own section.

I need a few pages edit-locked because of an extremely sensitive issue. I don't feel comfortable detailing it here, so can some mod please pm me?

Hi, would an administrator (or moderator, whichever is the correct terminology on TV Tropes) mind adding the following text (including mark-up) to the Resident Evil complete monster page between the entries for Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4? It's already been approved by the CM subpages cleanup crew, I just need to add it to the subpage itself:

  • Resident Evil 0: Dr. James Marcus was one of three co-founders of Umbrella Corporation and a mad scientist without regard for anyone or anything unlucky enough to get in his way. In the late 1960s, Umbrella CEO Ozwell Spencer assigned Marcus to head the company's recently-constructed research center in the Arklay Mountains, which would also be used as a management training facility. Dr. Marcus seized the opportunity to use several of the trainees sent to him as test subjects for the newly-created T-Virus, which he himself had developed in his lab by mixing the Progenitor Virus with leech DNA. At least 20 people were unwittingly subjected to his experiments, all of whom died and were either sent off to other laboratories for further research or dumped into the nearby sewers. In 1988, Spencer had Marcus assassinated following a decade-long schism between them; however, he was resurrected ten years later when his memories and consciousness were absorbed by his most recent creation, the Queen Leech, which had the ability to control other T-Virus leeches. Through the Queen Leech, Marcus set out on his goal to exact revenge on Umbrella. To do so, he leaked the T-Virus under the Spencer Mansion and on the Ecliptic Express, killing dozens of people and partly precipitating the crisis that led to the contamination of Raccoon City itself. He had every intention of causing large-scale destruction - when Rebecca and Billy finally encounter him, he gleefully expresses his desire to destroy the entire world. Callous and amoral, Dr. Marcus's complete lack of humanity predates his transmutation into a literal monster, which merely gave him the means to demonstrate the true and terrifying extent of his depravity

While you're there, could you please also change the wording under Resident Evil 4's entry from "Los Illuminado" to "Los Illuminados" (with the "s" added)?

I'm assuming that this subpage is indefinitely locked for a good reason, but if it isn't, I wouldn't mind it being unlocked.
