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.

Please come to the thread to discuss those changes.
Also, dammit, my bad. Please re-swap the following if you would:

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsOn 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.

Shouldn't both of them be at the localized name?
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.*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.
Done to here.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanThe last request to lock NightmareFuel.Super Smash Bros Ultimate was declined without explanation. More background on why it should be locked:
- First version of an example about Sephiroth's trailer after it came out
- Gushy entry about Galeem
- Example about Sephiroth was re-added immediately after cutting
- First post supporting a lock
- Needs cleanup
- Discussion about the Sephiroth entry being repeatedly re-added
- Entry about Sephiroth is re-added
- Last comment before I requested a page lock
That's done now, I wasn't certain the first time round that locking was warranted.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanHow does the following sound for Final Fantasy VII?
- Cutting Off the Branches: As shown by the Compilation, as well as other future Square Enix games, the Optional Party Members, Yuffie and Vincent, were canonically recruited.

Request to create Badass Tropes as a redirect to List of Badass Tropes.
Looks reasonable, except that Square Enix shouldn't be italicized.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.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.Probably. If issues flare up again, it can be re-locked.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.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.
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."@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.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI 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.Supernatural Repellant to Supernatural Repellent
Encounter Repellent to Supernatural Repellant
For sorta consistency, since we apparently use both "Repellant" and "Repellent"

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576Main.Casino Empire appears to be creating some ghost wicks. Could it be recreated and deleted?
Nick Nocturne should be potholed to Night Mind, but otherwise that looks good.
Jawbreakers on sale for 99¢Holy shit, I...didn't hear about any of that. Been out of the loop as far as these things are concerned. That's wild. Example sounds totally valid.
