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.

Recently launched the trope The Hand Is God, about God being depicted in media as a hand or pair of hands.

The term for this in the art world is Manus Dei or Dextera Dei, so I was thinking one or both of those should be redirects for it.

EDIT: Also, I need someone to add this example to Literature.The Bible:

  • The Hand Is God: This trope does have some accuracy to The Bible where God was He Who Must Not Be Seen lest the viewer die or go mad. As such God appears in A Form You Are Comfortable With, with perhaps the most famous being the burning bush that appeared before Moses. In the book of Daniel, chapter 5, He fills this trope, appearing as a disembodied hand (or just fingers, depending on the translation) in the palace of King Belshazzar, where He writes a prophecy of doom on the wall, foretelling the judgment of Belshazzar's kingdom.

There are several circular links on The Bible that need removing — i.e. change all instances of "The Bible" on that page to "the Bible" (or "The Bible" if it's starting a sentence). For the one in the The Hand Is God example, the italics around it also need removing.

Done. For the recent example, I just removed everything before the first mention of God.

[up][up] "God was" also needs to be changed to "God is" in that example.

An entry request for Cyberpunk 2077:

  • What a Piece of Junk: The Nomad lifepath's starter car, a junky Thorton Galena hatchback with the "Rattler" nomad kit, is more potent than it's portrayed to be. It's introduced in a garage getting a janky electrical system worked on, and has rust and bullet holes riddling the side. It also lacks the Crystal Shield display tech seen on all the other Nomad-kit vehicles for sale later in the game, and has plain ol' glass windows. However, it has incredible acceleration, topped only by hypercars and other beefy cars with near-hypercar performance, has a fair bit of ground clearance for offroading, and can make it into the mid-160s in top speed. It beats out its more regionally common nomad car cousin, the Galena Gecko, in most performance areas. Though it gets wrecked before the prologue time-skip, an Act 2 Nomad Lifepath-specific quest pops up offering the chance to reclaim the Galena Rattler in working condition.

"Make America Great Again!"
— Trump's famous campaign slogan.

Can someone remove the "famous" part of Donald Trump's page quote? I discussed this on Trump and ROCEJ, and at least 2 others agree that it's unnecessary and violates Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement.

Could someone explain why Alkali Earth Metal has been checked out? I was in the process of attempting to give it Wiki Magic after receiving a PM. (If I violated a wiki rule in the process of page creation, I apologize)

There is an occasional glitch where a page that isn't on Locked Pages or PRLC stays locked. We don't quite know why it happens, but it might be related to the "checked out" function. A page is "checked out" when another troper is trying to edit it. This prevents two tropers from trying to send conflicting edits to the same page. If the page doesn't unlock by refreshing it, try clicking on the edit button from the history.

Edit requests on Hillary Rodham Clinton:

1.) You can probably remove the sentence "Clinton's policies, image, and general existence are highly controversial and as with all things political, kindly follow the Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment." since only admins can edit the page right now.

2.) Under the "Hillary Clinton in fiction" section, please add the following:

  • In Issue #344 of Cracked, then-future MAD artist Tom Richmond created a parody of Godzilla (1998) called "God-Hilla". The final panel of the parody reveals the title character to be a disguise put on by Hillary as an attempt to get herself "considered a resident" of New York.

This needs to be removed from Administrivia.Complete Monster:

Superboy-Prime is no longer a CM due to his Redemption Equals Death.

The discussion regarding Superboy Prime can be found here and here. I believe that the majority of users who noticed this approved the cut.
