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.

^Support. I've been trying to keep Know the Staff up-to-date after the recent staff (and power) changes, but it's getting a bit too complex for my taste.

I thought someone already had said something to Eddie...apparently not. I'll get on that.

I meant I'd gotten everything up to that point. Sorry, shouldn't talk and type at the same time. If I missed something, let me know.

[up] My apologies for nagging, but you seem to have missed post 1992.

I didn't miss it, it's just wrong. Those go under Western Animation. That's where the pages are supposed to be namespaced.

[up] Really? But Nocturna and Ironeye replied to some Ask The Tropers queries saying that animated films still fall under the "film" category... Huh, I guess the policy changed again.

Anyway, could you fix the Jimmy Neutron example then? The misspelling and first-person is still there.

Yeah, they're a fuzzy thing. I'm just going to leave them where they are until we have a solid place for them.

Write what you want me to replace it with.

I think he wants it this way:

  • There was also Jimmy's Cousin Eddie from that one episode with Jimmy's great aunt Amanda's birthday. His atrocities include rigging the presents Jimmy made for the party and causing them to explode, which got Jimmy punished and sent inside, seizing Jimmy, Sheen, and Carl in shrinking rings that would completely squeeze the life out of them, and draining Goddard's battery so he couldn't save them. Even worse? He's a BABY who claims to be smarter than Jimmy. And he isn't seen until after Jimmy figures out that the presents weren't rigged by adult neutrons, which is saying something.

Add to description of The Inheritance Cycle:

Not to be confused with The Inheritance Trilogy, especially since that was the name of this series before book 4 came along.

Would it be possible to add Pew Die Pie to the Let's Play Index? Just adding him to the list of Let's Players would be enough, I think. Thx

Can ptitle5uj2wzgq be made into a redirect to ComicBook/ThievesAndKings?

No. We no longer use ptitles and it has no wiks.

My Immortal needs "My Immortal, by "Tara Gilesbie", is a Harry Potter Fan Fiction, and a good candidate for the worst fanfiction ever written." replaced with "My Immortal, by "Tara Gilesbie", is a Harry Potter Fan Fiction." since we don't want reviews in work pages.

Speaking of reviews, I flagged one of them there but didn't see it had 3 or 4 comments - my mistake.

[up] I agree that that should be changed, but I'm not sure how to word it since the fic's calling card is its horrible quality.

The 4 paragraph of the description certainly has a lot to say about the quality of the material. And the YMMV page has a lot to say about the quality of the work.

ETA: For confusing popularity with quality.

The misuse of Crazy Awesome on YMMV.Avatar needs to be killed, since there's nothing "crazy" about Quaritch.

I changed My Immortal to read "My Immortal, by "Tara Gilesbie", is an infamous Harry Potter Fan Fiction." Better, you think?

Also, made the redirect.
