Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

Go To

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:

  1. Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
  2. Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
  3. 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.
  4. We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
  5. If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here.
  6. If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
  7. To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

~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.

Whoa, Thursday? I was thinking Tuesdays.

I've done the changes in the Call of Duty sandbox, and Torres is getting a rewrite anyway.

Requesting 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."
Metro apps could only run full-screen or share the screen with one other Metro app, angering desktop users.
  • In the Windows 10 section, after "a combination of the older style Start Menu as well as Windows 8 Style apps.", add:
It allowed Metro apps to run windowed, alongside regular Windows programs.
Thanks.

Edit: Replaced "along with" with "alongside".

Can I do Wednesdays instead? It's the only weekday I don't work out on after work so it would just be easier.

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:

[up] "Was filled to the brim with complaining and drama importing. It got cut, but was later unilaterally recreated." Sounds more grammatically correct.

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?

[up][up] "Is chock full of this" is Word Cruft. All it says is "this example is an example," it's redundant.

MaLady, you can change it into NSFW version instead of DX version.

There’s a pothole to Copycat Sue on Sonichu under the Generation Xerox bullet point that needs stripped. The underlying text can remain unchanged.

So Tuesdays for CM, Wednesdays for MB it looks like?

Any progress on giving us the ability to edit locked pages?

On Monster.Video Games A To F, please change the Black Best Friend pothole to Token Black Friend.

When he first encounters two of his former soldiers, Sergeant Rex "Power" Colt and Lieutenant T.T. "Spider" Brown

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.

I would do that in the Sandbox, though I don't think the token part is accurate.
