Requests to Unlock Locked Pages

Go To

This thread is to request that a locked article be unlocked. Please read the guidelines below before making a request.

  1. Please see Locked Pages and Permanent Redlink Club first. If an article is on the Permanent Redlink Club, it will not be unlocked, ever.
  2. Pages cut a while ago were automatically locked. Before asking for an unlock, make sure that the article you want to create is in the proper Namespace, has gone through YKTTW if it's a trope, and otherwise fulfills our guidelines for Creating New Pages.
  3. If you just want to make an edit to an article, post here instead.
  4. Don't ask for new Main redirects. Those are only for old articles with lots of existing inbounds.

Original post 

I'll start it off: could someone please unlock Hootie And The Blowfish so I can make a new page on it? The last page was cut for being copypasta from Wikipedia.

Could you unlock Main.G Rated Mental Illness? I want to move Main.Ptitleam97932h to there as the ptitled page is for an article that isn't even punctuated, but the unpunctuated version has been cut and locked.

Forgot to say thanks for the redirect. Better for internal reading.

And lazy linking.

Is there any reason that TroperTales.Pet Peeve Trope got cut? I didn't see a very good reason, and the sub pages are still there.

Please unlock and restore the Nanoha redirect it is a fully valid name for the Lyrical Nanoha series even the series website is www.nanoha.com (It should actually be the main name since "Nanoha" is flat out copyrighted by them but that is a mater for another place.)

To expand on the above, なのは(Nanoha) is what the francise owners themselves use when using the full name is too cumbersome. If you check the official webpage, the bottom-right corner has a text saying "(c) NANOHA <season subtitle> PROJECT". Similar copyright text are found in nearly every promo material, and as shown in their archived webpage of the first season, the "(c)なのは(Nanoha) <season subtitle if there is one> Project" label has been used from the very beginning.

And it's not just the copyrights. They use the shortened "Nanoha" title for things like merchandise too. For example, the SPEC section of the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's: Gears of Destiny web page has various merchandise being sold with the "なのは(Nanoha) GOD" label. Another example, the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Strikers expansion in the Weis Schwartz Japanese CCG is listed as "なのは (Nanoha) Strikers".

In fact, it's more official than the Lyrical Nanoha we are using. As far as I know, none of the official materials or releases have ever used the name Lyrical Nanoha on its own. As shown on the title graphic of the official webpage, they don't put any special emphasis on the Lyrical part (which is all smushed up at the top like an afterthought together with all the extraneous part of the title) compared to the Nanoha part (which is written in big font and all caps).

All in all, it's kinda silly that we're not allowed to use the offically used title that the copyright holders are using while we're using an unofficial fan name for the main franchise page even though it's one that none of the copyright holders have ever used. <<;

Terraria in my opinion should redirect to the game called Terraria.

Whoopsie! Correction, Lyrical Nanoha was used at least once, during the first chapter of Nanoha Force. Editing my post to remove that bit of contention <<;

Can someone please unlock and recreate abuse is okay when it's female on male/troper tales? I believe that had a good reason to stay. (Majority said it could let an abuse population speak out)

The abused population can start a blog if they don't feel they have enough opportunity to speak out.

We are not a support group for abused people. Sorry if that sounds insensitive, but it's the truth.

Out of curiosity, why? Oh, right, the author. Umm... man, now I can't remember if we decided that authors were inherently notable enough to get their own pages even if they've only been associated with one work.

I think redirecting it to the series is fine unless he's got other works. Author pages are allowed to be indexes of their work, but if they only have the one, it's nice if their name points you at the work as a redirect.

Okay, I made it a redirect. No need to unlock unless it has to be changed for some reason.

No, I guarantee that it'll be reverted to its former glory horror within hours of being unlocked.

I'm trying to start a page for the webcomic Anime Arcadia, but when I created the page I only wrote "Describe Anime Arcadia here" as a placeholder. I realize now that that was probably a mistake, so could it be unlocked, please? I posted this on the Edit Request thread before.

Hah, woops. :I I didn't realizing making the page name for a work set in Fanfic instead of Fan Fic wasn't a problem. I thought I made some sorta ugly typo and had it cut. Could someone by my hero and unlock FanFic.Trouble so I can fix it up again? {:3
