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.

[up] That's done.

[up][up] It'll probably be easier if you write up a short compare/contrast that covers everything in that particular section of the page.

There is a sinkhole to Understatement on Slipped that needs to be removed (the point about Canada's Showcase Television - if it's accurate, it isn't understated. The point of understatement is that it's not accurate, it's distinctly short of accurate).

[up]Actually, it needs to be unlocked. When lu127 split the main pagem, she didn't notice that the pages were locked from a previous cut.

Hello there, people. I'd like to request an edit to Let's Play. It's small stuff: an LP'er featured there, Slowflake, already has his own page. If someone could delete the (outdated) entry of him there and add his page to the index on the fourth folder (Pages for specific Let's Players), it would be great grin

kthxbai!

One for Crowning Moment Mass Effect please.

  • In the second game Kasumi will mention she got Shepard into Badass Weekly. The writer for the real life Badass Of The Week thought this was the crowning moment of his career and was so flattered he had to write an entry for the site. Guess who.

Uh, not to be nitpicky, but the outdated entry on him?

in the Let's Play page wasn't erased... It's on the third folder.

EDIT: Nevermind, it's fixed. Thanks, guys!

It'll probably be easier if you write up a short compare/contrast that covers everything in that particular section of the page.

OK, here goes nothing:

"Compare with Above Good and Evil, The Anti-Nihilist, Blue-and-Orange Morality, Byronic Hero, Moral Sociopathy, Pure Is Not Good and Well-Intentioned Extremist. Compare and contrast with Dark Messiah, The Social Darwinist, The Sociopath and What Is Evil? Contrast with the Straw Nihilist, who believes themselves to be this trope."

Elsewhere in the page, I would also put this:

"Depending upon the character's role in the story and how cynical the story is, The Übermensch may be characterised as either The Fettered or The Unfettered."

Nietzsche Wannabe article should be rename and give a column where there are bad examples of nihilism.say that someone wannabe like someone is meaning that everything they do or believe in you tried to copy it but missed the important things and these people probably don't want there character to be like Friedrich Nietzsche. seeing as it only talks about nihilism. if your coming from the perspective that they are trying to make people believe nihilism as a bad thing then i can understand you. as some of your examples have nihilist killing people just because it what they believe in it is plain silly in my opinion. plus it really does not matter how you come to your believe in a philosophy as it what you believe. so writing that people should read Fredrich Nietzsche work just to be a nihilism is inaccurate but it would be a good idea to read his work. for example you can believe in a god without reading a holy book. also don't just tell people to go to Wikipedia tell them to do a little more research too.

  • In the "Pages for Specific Let's Players" section of Let's Play, the link to LetsPlay.Chorocojo isn't right. Please make it a normal link (i.e. Let's Play-slash-curlybracket curlybracket Chorocojo curlybracket curlybracket).

Yes it is actually. I was really tired and trying to deal with the hundredth Mass Effect sock when I made the request, so I do beg your pardon.

Edit: Looks like Ccoa already took care of it.

I'm requesting that the Mass Effect 3 examples under They Just Didn't Care be removed. The trope refers to works where the production values are low to the extent where it could be argued that the creators of the work didn't really care about it.

The Mass Effect 3 examples admit that "Mass Effect 3 is mostly very well-received" and proceed to focus on two aspects of the game, despite the fact that the trope focuses on works as a whole.

I realize that the page was locked because a ban-evading vandal removed the examples, but that doesn't change the fact that the examples don't actually fit the trope. While the vandal removed the examples because he disagrees with them, I am asking that they be removed because they fail to meet the definition of the trope.

Ooookay. Guess I'll just move along, then, since my input isn't wanted...

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
