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.

@seraphoem: That's off-topic here. Please go to the content violations discussion forum if you wish to contribute to the conversation.

@KingNerd: I do not keep track of links to offsite wikis. You'll have to get it somewhere else. Also, off-topic.

Could we unlock Alec Baldwin? Right now it's impossible to even start an article, which seems extreme regardless of whatever reason it was first locked.

Cut articles are locked automatically. If it was cut, it was for a good reason. Regardless, articles about actors now belong on the Creator namespace, so if you want to launch one, that's where you'd put it. Also, a reminder: our articles are not about people, but their works. If you make it about him as a person, it'll probably get cut again.

Firstly, in the event that I am presenting this information in the wrong topic, I would like to apologize ahead of time.

You see, I am curious as to the condition of a page I created a couple of weeks ago. Specifically, why the 'Wham Episode' subpage for My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic was locked, and the information on it removed. I am fully aware that there have been (and still are) problems with vandals when it comes to this topic, but everything appeared to be fine when I last left it, and the Locked Pages article states that subpages should still be open. The page was not created to fuel the 'brony' fires, but because it had more 'Wham Episodes' than any other Western Animation example (four at the time of creation, five if you count the Season 2 finale). Even if creating a seperate page for the examples is seen as redundant and a reason to be cut, I am confused as to why the examples weren't at least put back on the Western Animation page.

If the page could be restored to its former state, or at least a reason given as to why not, I would be grateful. Thank you for your time, and have a pleasant day.

The cut reason is this: "None of these examples really fit what a Wham Episode really is. They're all either things that are part of two parters that are resolved in the next part or things that really don't have that much effect on the show as a whole."

So basically the whole article was filled with invalid examples. I would recommend using the main article to talk about Wham Episode but doing so with more discretion this time.

[up]It was another spree-cut. You have to repost it in the Content Violations forum to get it back.

[up] Edit requests go in this thread. I'm sorry if I missed a page off there when I was sorting it.

It is locked due to the content cleanup process. We are considering whether to open it up again, but it won't happen until after everything is scrubbed down.

I unlocked it. You might need to PM Fast Eddie to restore the article if you can't recreate it.

Requesting to unlock VisualNovel.Fate Hollow Ataraxia, as it was not unlocked after being cut and reinstated.

Reason for this particular request — I want to replace the image with a better quality one (already uploaded it).

While we're here, requesting to unlock VisualNovel.Fate Stay Night too.

Sorry, can't unlock any of those right now. They are currently troll magnets for people who wish to make a point about the new system. We can talk about it in a few months again.

Done.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
