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.

JustForFun.TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary was locked over blue text in the quote. Since it's replaced by bold, I think the lock could be removed now.

Can someone unlock WesternAnimation.Barbie Life In The Dreamhouse in anticipation of the upcoming TV specials in that series?

That page was cut for being a WebAnimation/ series at the time.

The VideoGame.Super Metroid article I mentioned on the foot of the last page is ready to go (or at least there's not much more that it can gain from still being in YKTTW). The page being unlocked is all that's stopping its launch....

[up][up]If someone wants to write about the TV specials, could we unlock that page, or should the person just add a subsection to WebAnimation.Barbie Life In The Dreamhouse?

When moving the awesome and heartwarming pages from Spider-Man Edge Of Time to Spider-Man: Edge of Time, I accidentally cutlisted the new pages, getting them deleted and locked. Could someone open them again?

Any chance that Sonichu and YMMV.Sonichu could be unlocked? The Trivia and Characters pages aren't locked, and they've both been faring well without any Take That! edits, vandalism, or trolling.

Also, Sonichu fever has long since died down — he hasn't made a comic in years now, and all trolling of Chris-Chan anymore seems confined to Facebook.

Trivia and Characters are less likely to be targets of vandalism.

This thread has been neglected; our apologies.

@1271: Clown Car has been unlocked. I suggest Clown-Car Base be looked at for name confusion, though.

@1278: We don't create new Main redirects, regardless of the namespace icon issue. The new auto-disambig page should help with the situation, anyway.

@1289: Pantheon.Disgraces is not locked. A mod must have done that and not posted here to confirm.

@1300: VideoGame.Super Metroid has been unlocked.

@1301: TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Vocabulary has been unlocked.

@1302: WesternAnimation.Barbie Life In The Dreamhouse has been unlocked. If it turns out to be redundant, a redirect can be made.

@1306: I unlocked the two pages for SpiderManEdgeOfTime that I found on the lock list.

@1307: If the comic is dead, then why would we need to unlock the articles? Is there new material to add?

Edit: Locked Pages has been updated. I don't think any of these would be on Permanent Redlink Club.

The Conversion Bureau insanity seems to have died down and there a lot of new stories set in that 'verse that have been released.

Not to mention, there's a lot of old information that needs to be cleaned up.

Hi, I was trying to launch the "Love Theme" YKTTW. Clicked the launch button, etc, etc. But when I went to the page itself to add the text from the YKTTW, the edit button was locked. Could it be unlocked so I can finish the launch, or is there a reason it's locked? Thanks.

I assume the article was cut for being a premature launch. I just searched YKTTW for a Love Theme discussion, since you didn't provide a link, and the only one I found was this, which only has one hat. That means it's not launchworthy.

Aha. That one I found was probably the premature launch that got it cut. No way to know now, though. Unlocked.

Ahem, I would like to know if my request has been accepted or denied.

Right now, all the subpages in The Conversion Bureau are much more neutral and civil than before.

Could someone unlock and restore WhamLine.Professional Wrestling? It was mistakenly thrown on the cutlist in the effort to phase out the Pro Wrestling namespace.

[up] I unlocked it but the restore tool wouldn't work. I tried to edit the page and it destroyed the previous history. Sorry for that. I'll ask Eddie if there's a way to repair it.

[up][up] I unlocked all the articles. Please notify us immediately if the hate crew shows up again.

There is always the Wayback Machine, of course. Too bad that page sources don't work without a login, apparently.

Can the cut page Stuttering Into Eloquence be unlocked? There are 21 inbounds on that page; I would like it unlocked so it can be redirected into Stutter Stop.

No need. I just have to enter the redirect myself, which I did.

Could someone please unlock the GameBreaker.Fire Emblem page? The edit war that caused it to be locked was almost two years ago, and since Awakening has been released since then, it seems rather strange for the page to hardly even acknowledge its existence (especially as the YMMV.Fire Emblem Awakening page has a ton of Game-Breaker examples).

Hollywood Thin is coming up as a redlink. I couldn't find it listed under Locked Pages or Permanent Redlink and the page itself isn't locked.

EDIT: thanks for the link Drifting Skies, I'll post this in that thread.

There was a recently cut Sandbox page for it, and the new redlinker is wonky with cut subpages. It'll go away probably within about a day.
