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.

At DC Animation, for The Batman (Others), please remove the final sentence from Joker's entry.

At JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, for DIO, please replace the pothole around Dio's name with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: DIO. Please wrap that entry around Dio Brando for Eyes of Heaven at both that page and Video Games A To K (as done at JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven).

Ditto Voldemort's entry for the Harry Potter tree at Literature G To L (Harry Potter – Lord Voldemort)

At Web Original, for Critical Role please replace the pertinent entry with this:

  • The rakshasa Hotis, a shapeshifter from the Nine Hells, is the second Arc Villain of the Vasselheim arc. Disguised as a dwarf, Hotis creates an establishment for the rich named the Velvet Cabaret for the sake of gathering information about who the richest people in Vasselheim are. He then tracks them down and brutally mauls them to death before taking their belongings for himself. When discovered by members of Vox Machina and the Slayer's Take, Hotis tricks them into falling in a river of acid when they chase him down in an attempt to have them be slowly dissolved alive. When they survive, Hotis offers the party a deal to cease hostilities and work as business partners, intending to find an opportunity to kill them in the future. After finding himself at a disadvantage during the fight, Hotis promises to kill the loved ones of the party, including Thorbir's young daughter, all to spite them. He attempts to escape, only for his escape to be foiled by Tiberius before Hotis gets killed by Vax. After reforming, Hotis attempts to exact revenge on Vox Machina. Hotis hires assassins from The Clasp to murder the rest of Vox Machina while Hotis disguises himself as Gilmore to lure Vax away from the group and tricks Vax into wearing a cursed robe that will slowly rip off his flesh in case Vax survives against him. Hotis then attacks Vax, taking pleasure in torturing the half-elf to near death. Despite his limited screen time, Hotis proves to be among the most vicious of minor villains within the series.

Ditto Fan Works (this is for the Pokemon stuff at Video Games):

Regarding the feedback: "17865: Those first two requests have some grammar issues - proper nouns get capitalized, for one."

Actually, in the franchise in question the names of alien races are not capitalized; instead they're treated in a similar manner to "human" (unusual, I know). I would therefore respectfully suggest that this isn't a grammar issue. I would ask if I may what the other grammar issues are?

17855: I buy Concrete Poetry, but Figurative Verse doesn't seem nearly as intuitive.
I understand. I had found it in a book that was explaining the term being a popular one during Victorian times and found Concrete Poetry from that. So I offered both the term I was looking up and the term that seems to be the preferred modern use.

Link to professional work using the term.

DTH otherwise.

  • 17885: Reviewing the write-ups with that in mind, they're passable, but still could be tightened up for clarity and context. Please compare:

  • One of the most notable examples is the Hylagean Fog, mentioned sporadically by both salarian and batarian intelligence operatives. We know nothing about it save that it was a deadly force, apparently biological and space-faring, and that the threat of it was dealt with by, it's implied, joint operations between the salarian STG and the batarian state security.

vs.

  • The Hylagean Fog is mentioned sporadically and vaguely by both salarian and batarian intelligence operatives. Nothing about it is known except that it is deadly, biological in nature, and capable of space-faring. It's implied that the threat was dealt with by salarian STG and batarian state security, but the details are never revealed.

  • Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The long-burning plot centred on "Nos Dwicka" runs on this trope. Eldritch happenings and bizarre phenomena have been happening in the city for years, and more specifically now they centre on Mekan of Omega, who is possibly possessed by some krogan demigod, but it's not clear whether there's a logical explanation or not. "I draw the line at the Magic Krogan!" practically became a catchphrase among characters on the forum in 2018, as they struggled with the uncertainty.

vs.

  • Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: For the "Nos Dwicka" plot, eldritch happenings and bizarre phenomena have been happening in the city for years, but it's never made clear if there is a logical explanation. When Mekan of Omega underwent a potential possession by a krogran demigod, "I draw the line at the Magic Krogan" became a forum catchphrase, as a summary of the uncertain nature.

For The DIO entry at Video Games A To K and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, the first sentence should be:

Heaven Ascension DIO is an alternate version of Dio Brando who succeeded in his plan to wipe out the Joestar lineage and become a god.

Also, at JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. for Phantom Blood, please change the Arch-Enemy pothole to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: DIO.

From here:

I'll take care of the Comics split.

At Conan the Barbarian, for the Marvel group, it should look like this:

  • Savage Sword of Conan:
    • Oshmaan, the Executioner, from the February 1979 issue, is a Hyrkanian mercenary in the service of Turan. Betraying Turan and massacring their garrison, Oshmaan leads an attack on the city of Djebal, massacring everyone there except the young and attractive women who are taken to be used as breeding stock for Oshmaan's new empire, with Oshmaan personally claiming the former garrison commander's wife Alondra for himself. When she refuses to submit to him, Oshmaan attempts to beat and rape her before she is saved by Conan. When Conan leads his allies against Oshmaan, Oshmaan attempts to enrage Conan's forces into attacking him by bringing out his captive women and butchering them in open view of the army. Even after the battle is lost, Oshmaan attempts to murder Alondra out of spite and gloats to Conan that after he delivers the Turanian King his head, he can rejoin the nation he betrayed, abandoning his own followers without batting an eye, showing that for all his rhetoric, all he cares about is power.
    • Captain Bor'Aqh Sharaq is a ruthless corsair (pirate) who fishes Conan out of the sea and keelhauls him when Conan refuses to be interrogated. Later losing a duel to Conan who severs his arm, Sharaq forms a burning hatred of him and later murders an elderly couple who help nurse him back to health, having a blacksmith fashion him new weapons and a helmet only to murder the man as well. Becoming a constant scourge to Conan, Sharaq murders countless innocents in his path and, when stealing a horse, rapes the lover of one of his victims. Constantly returning from near-certain death, Sharaq becomes more and more depraved, even testing an aging magic on an innocent prostitute to age her into dust, later massacring an entire household before deciding to rape the mistress of the house and her daughter. Obsessed with killing Conan, Sharaq even burns his old crew alive in an inn alongside multiple innocents, constantly returning worse than before with no care of who he destroys as long as he gets another crack at the Cimmerian.

Main.Jellote is making a Ghost Wick to In-universe.


Wick Namespace Migration: Remove the Battle Tech entry in Complex Pages:

* '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/Battletech BattleTech]]''' - [=TabletopGame/ or VideoGame/=]


Main.Ice Princess:

''Ice Princess'' may refer to:

* The [[Film/IcePrincess 2005 Disney teen dramedy]].
* The WinterRoyalLady trope, for when Winter-evoking royal titles are more glamorous and mysterious.
* The [[Literature/IcePrincess book by Camilla Lackberg]]
* The [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Disney movie about a literal ice princess]].

If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.

And then should I remove those wicks from Film.Ice Princess?

Rewrite for Assassin's Creed (Comics):

  • Assassin's Creed: Trial By Fire: William Stoughton, a member of the Templar Order, is the orchestrator of the Salem Witch Trials, using the hysteria to convince the masses of people into eradicating the Assassin Brotherhood. Because of his machinations, at least 20 innocent people were documented to be executed via hanging, and the undocumented deaths were a result of Stoughton's tortuous experiments where the victims had succumbed to their wounds, all because of his belief that one of them happens to be a Piece of Eden called the oracle. When he learns that fellow Assassin Tom Stoddard and Jennifer Querry know about the oracle's whereabouts he captures them, tortures them for the information, and later shoots the latter In the Back. When Stoughton eventually discovers the oracle's identity, Dorothy Osborne, he sets a fire to kill Tom while admitting to torture Dorothy as well as more innocents so he can copy her powers onto other people creating more oracles; this shocks fellow Templar Samuel Parris. This cause a guilt-ridden Dorothy to throw herself into the fire, which enrages Stoughton only because he had just lost his oracle and will have to start his search all over again. While strangling Tom, he promises to burn entire colonies to the ground during his search for another oracle.

And one for Caligula

  • Complete Monster: In the comic book by David Lapham and German Nobile, The demon who possesses Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus and rechristens himself "Caligula" is a psychopathic trickster who uses his new status as Emperor of Rome to fully indulge in his penchant for sadism. Caligula establishes himself as a heartless sadist when, on a whim, he leads a gang rape and massacre of an entire family of farmers, including the 4 year-old son; he regularly commits similar atrocities. Taking great joy in forcing people to act out "plays" he himself has written, Caligula often uses said plays to force the partakers to cannibalize, rape, and murder each other, often taking part himself. Along with regularly raping and torturing his flesh-and-blood sister, then promising to corrupt her newborn, a product of his raping her, into evil, Caligula also personally butchers people by the dozen, arranges their bodies in "artistic" manners, then rips out their very souls, devouring them and trapping the souls in constant agony. Even when seemingly beaten, Caligula Body Surfs into anyone he can, continuing to murder innocents and devour their souls in a ritual he attempts to use to drive Rome to tear itself apart, and eventually settles in the body of the young Nero, fully planning to obtain the throne once more and destroy Rome for good. Psychopathic, egomaniacal, and with his own twisted sense of "art", Caligula was as wicked as a demon could be, and took great joy in being as evil as possible.
