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.

Please lock YMMV.Cuties. There are edit wars regarding the addition of Critical Dissonance and Overshadowed by Controversy on the page, and given its controversial nature, a lock is in order.

I took a look at YMMV.Cuties and it doesn't seem like there is intense edit warring yet, so I am declining the lock request. Give the comments (and Wiki Magic) a chance. I don't think the edit to Auto-Erotic Troping is necessary.

Did the Gratuitous Rape edit and also stripped out some Audience Reaction stuff. Also got the Sue stuff on Sonichu.

I don't know when the locked pages editing thing will happen.

Currently on a phone, so I can't do much editing beyond this.

OK, done to here. It's not Thursday yet so not the day for Complete Monster edit requests.

It's gonna be Tuesdays. Remember "If folks prefer another weekday you should tell us in the locked pages thread, but it should be one weekday and not constantly change."

So...I've decided it's Tuesdays.

Requesting namespace index link and grammar fix to Namespace's last body paragraph:

The Article Count page lists the currently-used namespaces and how many pages are in each. The Namespace Index shows which pages use a particular namespace (enter the namespace after the = sign). Moderators can set some namespace specific functions on Namespace Config; regular tropers can see the settings. What follows is a general breakdown.

Please lock Namespace.Title, as, looking at the recent cuts page, it's been recreated and cut four times.

[up] Note that similar pages, Analysis.Creating New Pages, Characters.Creating New Pages, Characters.Title Goes Here, NamespaceGoesHere.Title Goes Here and Analysis.Tropes are on the PRLC. Namespace.Title can be added to that list.

Elaborate these entries on Permanent Red Link Club:

MindRape.Other: The page was used to circumvent Mind Rape's No Real Life Examples, Please! policy.

ParanoiaFuel.Other: Caused edit warring and soapboxing over real life matters.

On Locked Pages change Monster.Live Action TV Ato G to Monster.Live Action TV Ato F.

I'm wondering if the Ghostbusters remake is still controversial enough to warrant locks on Trivia.Ghostbusters 2016 and YMMV.Ghostbusters 2016. If not, unlock them.

Did the two unlocks, the other request isn't on topic here.

Which, my post? This thread has been used for redirect requests for a long time.

What does it mean when a new trope page is locked until a certain time?

#25025: Sep 19th 2020 at 2:25:07 AM

@Twiddler: This thread is for edit requests on locked pages. That includes requests to have redirects added to Main/ namespace pages but it doesn't make this thread a general redirect request thread.

@windleopard: Either that there is a bug and the page lock is spurious (see FAQ which covers one solution). Or that someone else is editing the page. It's hard to tell because you didn't link the page.
