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.

Depends upon the locking reason. If it's a particular vandal, until they have wandered off.

Could Literature/Captive Prince be unlocked? Really sorry- I didn't realize the 3 tropes minimum and mandatory indexing rules.

Is it possible that Main.Space Dandy be unlocked, so that we can edit said page to redirect to Anime.Space Dandy?

It doesn't really meet our standards for a Main redirect — 11 inbounds is barely over the threshold. Any wicks to it should be changed.

Why is Batman: The Brave and the Bold locked? I checked the Locked Pages page but it is not listed there and there is no explanation.

If possible can it be unlocked, as there are some tropes I would like to add.

A persistent vandal kept messing around with it. For now, the Edit Requests thread linked in the header will have to suffice.

I'm going to unlock some of those now as we may have developed a reprieve.

I'd appreciate it if someone could unlock Main.Barack Obama so I can make Main.Barack Hussein Obama a redirect to UsefulNotes.Barack Obama. (It's currently a redirect to Main.Barack Obama.)

No need for that. You can edit the redirect by copying the URL over the URL for any other page edit. I fixed the redirect myself.

Can I put in a request for the Teen Wolf Character Sheet to be unlocked? The information on the page is out of date and moderator updates of the page are rare, if they happen at all. I know that there have been complaints of Zero Context Examples, but I haven't seen any of these on the main page or in the history of the character page recently.

Nope, sorry. Every time we unlock it, that stupid vandal pops up again. Nobody has asked for any edits in the proper place, so of course we aren't making them. The Discussion page is not where you suggest examples.

Can I put in a request to unlock the Characters Sheet for Kill la Kill? Episode 18 has introduced a lot more new tropes regarding its characters and the page could be in danger of being out of date if left locked.

I, for one, will make sure to comply with all policies regarding spoilers (the reason why it got locked in the first place). I could also accept adopting an entirely unmarked spoiler policy for the page if it will prevent other tropers from misusing spoiler markings.

May I please have an unlock for Super Powereds (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/SuperPowereds? I think the first person who made it failed to put in the minimum tropes and I'd like to flesh it out.

Yeah, that page was cut because it didn't have enough trope examples (read: it had none).

Yes, that was the issue. Unlocked; have a crack at creating a better page.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Can we unlock the Wick Namespace Migration page and IP block that persistent vandal?

I now go by Graf von Tirol.

Given previous discussions, I don't think that an IP block is working there. Putting a new-account-specific block on these pages might work, though.

I'm requesting an unlock so I can create a character sheet for Variable Geo. It's much tamer than Ikki Tousen, which I notice has a character sheet.

Please may I request the Teen Wolf Character Sheet be unlocked? I understand you don't want to open it up to vandalism. If it's not convenient to open it up would it be okay if I posted the link to the edit request thread in the discussion forum of Teen Wolf? I'm lousy at thinking of the right tropes on my own, but maybe that would help direct smarter tropers to the proper protocol. Thank you, for reading my request.

Can anyone give me a guesstimate on when Work Pages In Main and Creator Pages In Main will be unlocked?

We will not unlock the article, but please do feel free to post the link to the Edit Requests thread in the discussion.

I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds here, but the articles will never be unlocked? Seriously?
