This is a thread for checking up on pages for works that have not been released yet, to make sure that they are not straying into rampant speculation or posting crazy behind the scenes spoilers. You can bring both individual examples or entire pages to attention here.
In extreme cases, any page can be locked, but hopefully that won't be necessary.
(As these pages often are hit with zero-context examples and shoehorning as well, all four - speculation, spoilers, ZCEs, and shoehorning may get addressed simultaneously.)
The policy governing this effort is Creating A Work Page For An Unreleased Work. Cleanup is being tracked using the Unreleased Works sandbox.
All pages for unreleased works should include a %% comment at the top of the page, confirming the policy and linking to this thread and the Administrivia page. It doesn't have to be exactly the same as the example provided here, but this provides a template to work with.
%% Speculative troping is not allowed on TV Tropes.
%%
%% We trope what DOES happen in works, not what MIGHT happen or is LIKELY to happen.
%%
%% For unreleased works where all we have to go on is advertising and other supplemental materials, we have some detailed guidelines, which can be found at Administrivia/CreatingAWorkPageForAnUnreleasedWork.
%%
%% NOTE - these rules also mean that unreleased works should only have one page image, and that image should NOT be changed again until the work is released.
%%
%% If you have questions, please consult the Unreleased Work Speculation Cleanup thread at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15514631230A64268600

Incidentally, did something happen Star Wars-wise, or was the page only just cut? This is the third request (the other to are ATT threads) asking for the page to be remade in the course of one day, and, far as I know, the page has been cut for a little while now.

It's been cut for a few weeks or something like that, but as was previously said, I'd wait for a trailer to come out before recreating the page.

21st March, far as I can tell. As has been said, not really any point recreating until we have a trailer.
My question was more about why I saw three separate requests to restore the page in a single day and what might have prompted it, not with why it was cut in the first place nor requesting to restore it myself.
Between the fact we don't even have a title for it yet and all the grief we've seen from The Last Jedi, I'm fine keeping this one on the back burner long as possible.

Star Wars Celebration Chicago will start this week, and there's a possibility of trailers for other Star Wars works such as The Clone Wars Season 7, Fallen Order, The Mandalorian and so forth. When we have trailers for those, can we also make pages too?
Friends forevermore
As long as you can find three valid tropes from publicly-known information, then you can make a page.
Excuse me, but can anyone restore Star Wars 9 please?
Was any new material actually revealed at Star Wars Celebration Chicago?
Such as, for instance, the title of the page you want to restore.

In the very unlikely case that we have three tropes but not a title, what should we do?
Sandbox it?
The IX panel won't be until this Friday at Celebration Chicago.

The E3 2019 festival will start this June 11 and will last until the 13th and the Tokyo Game Show will be from September 12 through the 15th (hint: it's also the month of my birthday). We know that there will definitely be a Sega panel.
Maybe we might have some more information on games like Shin Sakura Wars by then.

He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.
Batman: Hush has only one trope.
It's a stub, but we might as well just wait it out since it comes out in four days.
Musician/Composer
According to the panel from the Star Wars Celebration, the official title for Episode IX is The Rise of Skywalker. The teaser trailer is available from the live panel stream on Youtube.
Now, I think it's safe to restore all of the content that was previously deleted from the Star Wars 9 page and transplant it over to The Rise of Skywalker.

He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.
I'm fine with restoring the page as long as there's no speculation and the tropes are only about what happens in the trailer.
Musician/Composer
And it was cutlisted again.
He/His/Him. No matter who you are, always Be Yourself.
With just four words. That's not how to do it.
Read this page How to Create a Work's Page please.
My bad. I'll keep that in mind next time.
We still need three non-speculation tropes though. The trailer is kind of vague but there may well be something
There are already some problematic tropes
- Alliterative Title: Not within itself, but overall it's the third Star Wars trilogy capper to start with a word that has "R" as first letter. Sounds like shoehorning
- The Bus Came Back: Emperor Palpatine returns to the film series after being absent from The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.Speculation. ALL we get in the trailer is Papa Pelp's Evil Laugh
- Time Skip: As per Word of God from the director J.J. Abrams, the movie picks up "some time" after the events of The Last Jedi, rather than being an Immediate Sequel as The Last Jedi was. Based on a creator's comment, not what we get from the trailer.
For The Bus Came Back, Ian Mcdiarmid came up on stage right after the premiere of the trailer at the event, they've rehired him.
For Time Skip, we can add the rebuilt lightsaber and Expository Hairstyle Change on Finn if you'd like, but Word of God where a creator says a particular trope is in the work they have helped create is about as clear in terms of intent as you can get.
