- 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
.
- The Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard tropes aren't currently adding or removing examples. Wick changes and other minor corrections to the locked trope pages can be made via this thread, but more significant changes will be declined.
- 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.

Well, since you made The Guardian, as the disambig, then...
Guardian as "[[redirect:TheGuardian]]"?
Unless we want a tradition of "Plain Noun Precedence", then swap that around?

Hi Heavy Metal Hermit Crab and Septimus Heap,
Sure, whatever you need to do there is fine. I don’t have anything in my Sandbox that I’m currently using right now. And if there is something I have to do, I’m happy to help. Just let me know what I need to do, if so.
Thanks!
It Was His Sled says it has no examples because it's a fanspeak term. However, it's used as a trope, and it was actually example sectionectomied in order to stop accidental spoilerage. Maybe change the bolded out part at the bottom of the page to:
To prevent accidental spoilerage, do not add any examples to this page.
Did the Guardian and It Was His Sled edits.

- Thanks!
And Ambig Index tells me that Literature.The Guardians exists...
Any reason not to fold that and Main.The Guardians into The Guardian?
* The musicians, ''Music/{{UFO}}''.
* The television series ''Series/{{UFO}}''.
* The FlyingSaucer trope for the stereotypical alien spaceship, a.k.a Unidentified Flying Object.
If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.

I got a rock for Halloween.Please make a similar change on The Content Policy and the 5P Circuit. It currently links to a dead imgr page.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Please lock Trivia.Disney Plus. It's been created and cut three times.
On YMMV.The Last Jedi, please remove the Harsher in Hindsight entry, as all but the last bullet point was deemed misuse by the clean up thread
, while the last bullet point doesn't apply as it doesn't refers to things within The Last Jedi that are made harsher by things that were released afterwards.
Main.Dungeon Dwellers Redux is still giving a ghost wick to Our Elves Are Better, and needs to be recreated and cut
HAPPY HALLOWEEN FOR MARIAFor TLP Guidelines, add the following edits.
Under the "Creating a TLP" section
- * A laconic, one-sentence summary of your trope, referred to as the Trope Laconic Title. Note that despite what the name implies at the moment, you're not actually supposed to give the trope another title apart from the working title; don't be ashamed if you do, either, as many recently-joined Tropers who post their first draft tend to make this mistake due to the unclear wording of the term. Also note that you can submit a trope without adding a description, but this means that no edits that you make will be saved. You can always add the laconic title after the fact in the box beneath the title box.
In the "See also" section at the end of the page
- The Trope Idea Sounding Board thread
, for testing and exploring your trope ideas before launching them.

We have a sandbox on Sandbox.TLP Guidelines Redux. You could probably mention these things somewhere there, but IDK where. Ask here
if you need help.
At the bottom of The New '20s at the media list, please make this section:

Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)Under the Trauma Team paragraph in the description of Cyberpunk 2077 could you please add:
The Cyberpunk 2077: Where's Johnny? comic, written by Bartosz Sztybor and illustrated by Giannis Milonogiannis, was released digitally via a sweepstakes competition for Rockstar Energy Drinks.
Done to here and got the Cut List and custom title requests while I was here. Question: Does YMMV.The Last Jedi still need to be locked? From the discussion page it seems like its reception has been improving and thus the controversy might be dying down.

So, stories being deleted off the net mean they go in Darth Wiki, right? Like for Fanfic.Connie And The B Team?
...
* The SelfDestructMechanism trope for something that turns into a bomb when necessary.
* The SelfDestructingSecurity trope for theft-prevention of an object by destroying it.
* The ThisPageWillSelfDestruct trope for a secret message, self-destructing after being delivered.

Not sure if Civil War or Balkanize Me or anything else should go here too.
Move Film.The Other Woman to Film.The Other Woman 2009 first.
* The [[Film/TheOtherWoman2009TheOtherWoman2009 2009 film]].
* The [[Film/TheOtherWoman2009TheOtherWoman2014 2014 film]].
* The InfidelityIndex, as the phrase is commonly used to refer to the woman being cheated with.

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576Requesting that Wealth God and God of Wealth be redirected to The Almighty Dollar.
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.Requesting that this typo in MagnificentBastard.Fullmetal Alchemist be fixed (markup to show proofreading):
- "Fullmetal Alchemist": Isaac McDougal is the rogue "Freezing Alchemist". Haunted by the horrific war crimes of Amnestris (needs to be Amestris without the "n") in Ishval and uncovering the truth of Central Command, McDougal desires to punish Central and cast down Fuhrer King Bradley. Crafting multiple transmutation circles across the city and killing any soldier who gets in his way while creating a series of distractions, McDougal is able to survive battles with Ed, his brother Alphonse, Alexander Armstrong and even Mustang before unleashing a wave of ice to converge upon Central, declaring he will judge Bradley and condemn him to a "frozen hell" for his sins.
Please move the Bad Dreams example on Characters.RWBY Team RWBY to Past Experience Nightmare.
Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper WallOn Monster.Disney, on Tangled: The Series, pothole Zhan Tiri's name to Tangled - Zhan Tiri.
Why so serious?@Malady: Or they get cut. No opinion on which tropes to add to the disambig. Regarding the page move, the mod tool for page moves leaves ghost wicks so I won't use it unless there is something ready to be pasted in at the original location of the page to be moved.
@Kappaclystica: Unlocked it thus.
@Clown-Face: Done, but remember to reciprocate these Magnificent Bastard and Complete Monster edit requests on their sandboxes (here Sandbox.Monster Disney)
Done to here, along with the Cut List and custom titles.

- Oh. I forgot that little issue... In that case...
Move Film.The Other Woman to Film.The Other Woman 2009
And
Replace Film.The Other Woman with "[[redirect:TheOtherWoman]]
The Monster and Monsters as redirects to Monster, since that's already targeting those.

@HeavyMetalHermitCrab: Fixing that requires a somewhat more complicated procedure than regular ghost wicks: Restoring the page with its prior content, cutting it, then restoring again which loses the page history. ~Bolt DMC, is that OK?
@Malady: Partially done; the subpages YMMV and Trivia need to be manually moved as otherwise they leave ghost wicks and Crush needs finished markup. Also, in general I think we only should create disambiguations under titles with incoming wicks or inbounds or when there was a page before.
Done to here otherwise.
