This thread is for requesting edits or unlocks to Locked Pages or for requesting locks. It can also be used for technical requests to moderators such as:
- creating new pages in the Main/ and other restricted namespaces without going through Trope Launch Pad
- moving discussion pages
- moving reviews
Please keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
- Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
- If asking for edits, state your changes exactly as they should appear on the page, including proper Example Indentation, namespacing, and pothole and quote formatting. And make sure that what you want to add is actually a valid example.
- We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
- If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here.
- If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
- To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
- Some locked pages have ongoing cleanup threads, like Complete Monster (Thread), Five-Man Band (Thread), and Magnificent Bastard (Thread). Other than purely technical requests, edits to these pages ought to be discussed in these threads first.
- Also, we do not do direct edits (other than changing wicks) to Magnificent Bastard or Complete Monster example lists. Rather, you need to do the edit to a sandbox page that follows the format Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard<Name of the example subpage> and Sandbox.Monster<Name of the example subpage> (e.g for Monster.Disney it's Sandbox.Monster Disney) and ask for it to be swapped in on Saturday for Magnificent Bastard and on Monday for Complete Monster.
- Inappropriate pages that keep being recreated, pages banned under The Content Policy and subpages that are disallowed (like Headscratchers pages for tropes) are valid reasons for requesting page locks.
NOTE: Edited with OP's permission.

Whoa, Thursday? I was thinking Tuesdays.
I've done the changes in the Call of Duty sandbox, and Torres is getting a rewrite anyway.

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsRequesting additions to the UsefulNotes.Microsoft Windows page:
- In the Windows 8 section, I'd like to add this after "Windows 8 was tailored to touch devices, not keyboards and mice."
- In the Windows 10 section, after "a combination of the older style Start Menu as well as Windows 8 Style apps.", add:
Edit: Replaced "along with" with "alongside".

"And as long as a sack of shit is not a good thing to be, chivalry will never die."Can I do Wednesdays instead? It's the only weekday I don't work out on after work so it would just be easier.
Please create Worlds End with this sandbox.
Thank you.
More recreate-and-cut requests to remove ghost wicks:
All right, I understand. I'm probably just going to request a little light touch-up on the Straub entry to make the sentences flow a little better. See you on... (checks calendar) the 17th.

Add this to the PRLC:
- Crappy Games Wiki: Was filled to the brim with complaining and drama importing and was cut, but was recreated.
"Was filled to the brim with complaining and drama importing. It got cut, but was later unilaterally recreated." Sounds more grammatically correct.
Jawbreakers on sale for 99¢Requesting to add this, was approved by Writing Pitfall Index cleanup
- Pacing Problems: When writing a story, make sure that the story does not go too fast or too slow, or else the reader may either have a hard time recollecting the events or get impatient with the length.
@ACW: I started from the first day of the sandboxes' existence, the 3rd September, which was a Thursday. Tuesday was (see below) for Magnificent Bastard.
@Medinoc: Did the Microsoft Windows edits, but I'll say, that page looks more than a little opinionated.
@43110: Sure, I'll put that in the rules.
@Primis and @Tabs: Done and cut the sandbox/pages.
@Kappaclystica: Please link to the pages you want to make the edits on. I've done them anyway, but the rule is in the header instructions.
@Siegfried 1337: Same as with Kappaclystica, also which section should it be added to?

MB Pending | MB Drafts | MB DatesPlease add this in Gratuitous Rape, Video Game folder:
- The DX version of MGCM is chock full of this. The enemy demons unnecessarily rape the magical heroines (with their "extra" tails) in some of the main story episodes, and even in limited time event episodes and possibly the dress stories. Because some rape scenes occured after they fatally ambushed the heroines but before the heroines die and in some cases, are corrupted into demons after they died, many players who only play the DX version think that demons corrupt the magical heroines by raping them. Thankfully, the SFW version has all the NSFW scenes, including the rape ones, removed without affecting the plot of the game.

"No matter how bad the heroes can get or how bad the situation is, we're sure we can overcome it and get our happy endings..."Done and done but please remember the page link.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman"Is chock full of this" is Word Cruft. All it says is "this example is an example," it's redundant.
Rephrase to launch right into the context:
- In the DX version of MGCM, the enemy demons unnecessarily rape the magical heroines (with their "extra" tails) in some of the main story episodes, and even in limited time event episodes and possibly the dress stories. Because some rape scenes occured after they fatally ambushed the heroines but before the heroines die and in some cases, are corrupted into demons after they died, many players who only play the DX version think that demons corrupt the magical heroines by raping them.

Administrivia.Auto Erotic Troping should mention that it is unrelated to Auto Erotica, which is about sex in a car.
I'm back!- Shouldn't it explicitly say that DX is the NSFW version instead of potholing that?
- I'm not a mod. At least I don't think I am...

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576MaLady, you can change it into NSFW version instead of DX version.
"No matter how bad the heroes can get or how bad the situation is, we're sure we can overcome it and get our happy endings..."Ok.
"No matter how bad the heroes can get or how bad the situation is, we're sure we can overcome it and get our happy endings..."There’s a pothole to Copycat Sue on Sonichu under the Generation Xerox bullet point that needs stripped. The underlying text can remain unchanged.
SoundCloudSo Tuesdays for CM, Wednesdays for MB it looks like?
Any progress on giving us the ability to edit locked pages?
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsThere's also God-Mode Sue under the MacGuffin example on Sonichu.

Rock'n'roll never dies!On Monster.Video Games A To F, please change the Black Best Friend pothole to Token Black Friend.

EDIT: The Real Life Section Maintenance thread has consensus to PRLC ParanoiaFuel.Other for basically being a Real Life subpage with Flame Bait political topics.
Edited by ccorb on Sep 14th 2020 at 6:55:34 AM
Rock'n'roll never dies!I would do that in the Sandbox, though I don't think the token part is accurate.
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM Drafts
~infernape612: Per discussion among the staff, I have created Sandbox.Monster Video Games A To F and Sandbox.Monster Call Of Duty; you can do your edit there and ask next Thursday to have it swapped in.
I'll go and spread the information about this rule a bit.
