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.

I'm suggesting some edits for the Complete Monster page of Sword Art Online

The list

  • Sword Art Online is an unpleasant place to live in, due in no small part to these characters.

  • Vassago Casals, also called PoH (short for Prince of Hell), is forced to become a criminal because of unfortunate circumstances, but he proves his vileness by willingly becoming a murderer. After entering SAO to kill a target, Vassago becomes the founder of the Laughing Coffin guild, where he rallies together the worst of those trapped in the game and has them slaughter their fellow players, simply for the sheer joy that Vassago takes in seeing East Asians kill each other. Later betraying his own Guild and abandoning it to die, Vassago corrupts other players and sends them to kill those who had participated in the Laughing Coffin's downfall. Vassago later returns as a member of Glowgen Defence Systems, becoming Gabriel Miller's right-hand man and leading Gabriel's invasion of the Human Territory. When Japanese players appear to try to contain the invasion, Vassago contacts unaware players from China and Korea, lies to them about the situation, and connects them to the Underworld. After finding a comatose Kirito, Vassago tortures him and promises to torture his loved ones to death and kill everything else in the Underworld. A sadistic murderer, Vassago proves his sheer vileness by always taking bad situations and making them worse for his own amusement.

Please come to the thread to discuss those changes.

Also, dammit, my bad. Please re-swap the following if you would:

On Monster.Video Games G To P, the wick to VideoGame.Makai Toshi Sa Ga needs to be changed thus: [[VideoGame/TheFinalFantasyLegend Makai Toshi SaGa]]

Likewise, on Monster.Final Fantasy, the wick to VideoGame.Makai Toshi Sa Ga needs to be changed to VideoGame.The Final Fantasy Legend.

After consulting the CM thread, there seems to be a reason this entry is found under both names — I assume it's because this is both a SaGa and a Final Fantasy game, depending on region.

Thanks.

*shrugs* Both links go to the localized title. I just potholed under the old name on one of them. If both entries read "The Final Fantasy Legend" in the visible text, they'd be identical and there'd be no justification for one of them to exist. And the CM thread suggested that the entry should probably be kept on both pages. So that was the compromise I came up with.

That's done now, I wasn't certain the first time round that locking was warranted.

The entry for NightmareFuel.Super Smash Bros Ultimate on Administrivia.Locked Pages should probably say "persistent" instead of "penetrant".

Do you think it's safe to unlock Chadwick Boseman now that several months have passed since his death?

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

So, the Joe Biden page already has a Wall of Text describing the riots of the 6th. When also factoring in the past two presidents’ pages having been locked and more recent developments, is it safe to suggest it time for that page as well before it devolves into an Edit War?

Honestly just lock at least till things cool down in a few months hopefully.

@Kytseo: A bit basic, but added it. Did the rest. Regarding the Biden page, I am tempted to cut all the contemporary politics stuff and replace it with a link to Wikipedia. It's way too detailed for troping purposes.

I would like to request an edit of Fallen Creator to include Adam Rosner of The Slender Man Mythos on this page. His webseries, Tribe Twelve was considered one of the "big three" Slender Man series alongside Everyman HYBRID and Marble Hornets, and had been ongoing since 2010. I'm not sure where This is what I had in mind for adding to the page:

Adam Rosner, creator of the Slender Man webseries Tribe Twelve was a prolific and well-respected creator that was heavily involved in The Slender Man Mythos, alongside the creators of Marble Hornets and Everyman HYBRID, even crossing over with the latter series a few times. Both fans and creators alike respected Rosner’s devotion to the series, on top of writing, producing, and editing it independently (mostly) for over 10 years, in spite of production slowing to a crawl in the later years due to him attending medical school in New York. His reputation completely changed overnight on September 7th, 2020, when several girls and young women (one of which was Heather Faller of Dark Harvest) gave credible evidence that Rosner had attempted to groom and/or rape them as young as 15 years old, on top of having incredibly disgusting sexual kinks, and an inability to feel empathy for anyone but himself. Since then, Rosner has done everything in his power to unperson himself from the internet, and his fellow Slenderverse creators have condemned him for his actions, to the point of being a Persona Non Grata. With the addition of a recorded phone call Rosner was on with one of his abusers being made public, on top of a damning statement made by fellow online creator and former friend Nick Nocturne on the matter on January 9th, 2021, the chances of Rosner ever making a return to form are slim to none.

I don't post on discussion pages too much, so I hope I'm doing this correctly.

Trust no one.
