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. 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.
  9. 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.

Taking another shot at an edit for UsefulNotes.Donald Trump to avert the current prose-line format, following Septimus' recommendation as best I can. Propose replacing the last four paragraphs ("In the early hours of Wednesday..." to "...since George H.W. Bush in 1992.") with:

Trump won the 2016 presidential election with 304 state electors, becoming the fifth person to lose the popular vote but win the presidency. Hillary Clinton telephoned Trump with her concession, and he was inaugurated the following January.

Trump was the first elected president to have never previously held elected or appointed political office or serve in the military. He is also likely the richest person to become president.note  His nationalist stances, harsh policies on issues like immigration, and often aggressive demeanor (captured best by his active presence on Twitter) made him a target of intense scrutiny and criticism in the media while also winning him strong support among his followers. In 2019, Trump was impeached by the Democrat-controlled House for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress due to allegations that he had used his office to pressure the Ukrainian president into investigating Joe Biden, his likely opponent in the 2020 race. This made Trump the third president to be impeached, though he was acquitted by the Senate. His subsequent campaign was largely defined by his response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, its impact on the economy, and his criticisms of the Black Lives Matter Movement. He ultimately lost the election to Biden, becoming the first incumbent to lose reelection since George H. W. Bush in 1992. Trump refused to publicly concede the loss, a first since the tradition began in 1896, and actively fought to overturn the results. After no election official found evidence of widespread fraud and dozens of judges determined his claims of victory to be baseless, Trump organized a rally of thousands of supporters outside the White House to protest the election's certification. Members of this rally marched to the Capitol and stormed the building, resulting in five deaths, including one Capitol police officer. Though Trump finally conceded after the certification, Democrats and several Republicans viewed the Capitol disturbance as an attempted insurrection incited by the sitting president. The House quickly reconvened and, for the first time in U.S. history, impeached the president a second time.

I noticed a preponderance of women named Elizabeth (or related) in Cyberpunk 2077; three as of my count, averting the One Steve Limit trope:

  • One-Steve Limit: Averted for the name "Elizabeth" and related. One instance is Lizzie, the madame for the brothel that was where Lizzie's Bar is now. Her murder at the hands of Tyger Claw gangsters was the cassus belli that led to the formation of the Mox gang. The second instance is pop music star Lizzy Wizzy (birth name Elisabeth Wissenfurth), famous for her full-borg cybernetic transformation in the middle of a concert. Third instance is Elizabeth Peralez, wife to Night City Councilman and mayoral candidate Jefferson Peralez.

I request the creation of a disambiguation page War. It shall consist of the following:


War can refer to:
* MilitaryAndWarfareTropes
* [[Film/{{War}} The 2007 film]]
* [[Film/War2019 The 2019 film]]
* [[Music/WarBand The American funk group]]
* [[Music/WarU2Album The 1983 album by U2]]


Music.War was already completely migrated and prepared to redirect to the disambiguation page.

Also, I want to add this in the Scrappy Mechanic of Cyberpunk 2077

  • The infamous street racing mission (The Beast in Me) from Claire. As mentioned in the Artificial Stupidity, the driving A.I (If one can actually call it) is so braindead at best that it is actually more difficult to lose than to win. For instance, when you're at the first place, instead of the rivals catching up to you, the game blatantly teleports them near V and Claire's car as shown on the minimap. When you speed down and try to let the rival racers win, they will just slow down like a turtle, allowing you to catch up with ease (They'll actually stop when you are in the last place during the last checkpoint). In addition, since the racer only goes on a certain path, they're bound to crash into objects every ten seconds, making the race even more easier. So when you look behind, you're bound to witness some hilarity as cars fly everywhere left and right.

On Newsletter.News 202101, can you please correct the part that refers to Wonder Woman 1984 as "upcoming"? The movie came out last month.

Change "he's also lined up to play DC Comics villain Maxwell Lord in the upcoming Wonder Woman 1984." to "he also played DC Comics villain Maxwell Lord in Wonder Woman 1984."

Crosswick request for False Rape Accusation:

  • Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: On a rare occasion, the character accused of rape will turn out to be innocent after all. One example is "Dissonant Voices," where a preschool music teacher named Jackie Walker is accused of molesting his students, and he loses his rising stardom as a TV music coach on an American Idol-type show. However, it comes out that his main alleged victims were fed stories by their older sisters, former students of Walker who were jealous that he chose another girl to take onto the show instead of them. At the end of the episode, Walker chews out the SVU team for ruining his reputation and job over false accusations while his accusers only get probation.

Apologies for asking this, but please can the Red Riding Hood Replica entry to the Characters.RWBY Team RWBY page be undone?

The problem is that Red Riding Hood Replica states that it's the super-trope to Little Red Fighting Hood. Ruby is already troped under Little Red Fighting Hood. My understanding is that if there's a suitable sub-trope, it should be the sub-trope that's chosen rather than the super-trope.

I don't know if this has implications for the Red Riding Hood Replica image (which uses Ruby), but that's probably a question for somewhere else.

For The New Twenties, in the North American folder in the World Events section, I would like to request that an entry about the January 6th Capitol Riots and the subsequent fallout be added. One of the notable things to come out of it was Donald Trump becoming the first-ever American President to be impeached twice. Also would like to request an entry covering President Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20th.

Did the Characters.RWBY Team RWBY removal, the image isn't really a problem for this thread.

Did the ghost wicks.

It is not important to know the exact dates of when Trump did what. Go to Wikipedia for the nitty-gritty.

I'll need finished markup for the UsefulNotes.The New Twenties request.
