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:
- Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
- Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
- 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.
- We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
- If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here
.
- If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
- To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Hi
![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
Which page is that for? Also, can you write it up in example format?
I imagine it goes like this: on VideoGame.Final Fantasy VII
Although I changed the first "One" to "You" for consistency's sake.

Hi
Okay, that's what I was thinking it meant. It's added.
Another cut ptitle redirect: RealLife.Ptitle2td6va92 with 69 inbounds that should point to RealLife.Mean Character Nice Actor.

Done.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
In Side Effects Include..., please replace "Havidol. It is important to know that Havidol is" with "Havidol is". (Compare TOW's admonition against this sort of wordiness.)

Archive pages are not supposed to be edited, no matter what.

Did all the non-archived pages.

Oh. If that is the case, please remove all the Tropers/ on Media Wiki Conversion. I added those before the lock. I'm sorry.
Edit: Okay, NotAWikiWord markup did not prevent that at sign from showing up as "Tropers". I believe I only used the at sign on that page.

I don't think they hurt anything.

That's an archive. We don't tend to touch those.

Sonic Colors needs to be namespaced on Let's Play.
On Dangerously Short Skirt, One Piece needs to be namespaced to Manga/.

"Learning without thinking is labor lost. Thinking without learning is dangerous."
About the archive: I added the namespace changes long after the last comment on the page. As in, I edited an archive. Bad. Shouldn't the Tropers/ stuff be de-added? Or is it really just unimportant/actually pretty helpful?

Lost in Space
We just prefer that they be left alone. It's not a crime against humanity to edit them.
Edit: I made the change on . Looks like someone else got the Let's Play edit.

Hi
... I probably should have waited on my above post, since now that I'm done with it, I see that Sonic Colors also needs to be namespaced on WebOriginal.The Irate Gamer and DethroningMoment.Zero Punctuation.
Hi
No problem. I got those, too.
Dread Sorcerer of Auchtermuchty
On WebOriginal.The Irate Gamer, the tropes Chekhov's Gunman, Don't Explain the Joke and The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything need ptitle markup removing.

Keeper of The Celestial Flame
Final Fantasy VII: Dungeon bypass should be added. Never played the game before, butit is mentioned on the trope's page
One can bypass much of the Shinra Building and its guards by simply taking the stairs as opposed to fighting your way floor by floor. This is, however, incredibly boring, time consuming, and you have to put up with your characters complaining the entire way. There are a few bits of nice loot on the stairs, however.
