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.

Double Standard Rape: Female on Male:
- Bridgerton: A couple episodes in, Daphne Bridgerton punches out Nigel Berbrooke, one of her suitors, for kissing her without her consent (troublesome to Daphne's reputation at the time, but narratively approved of). After Daphne's maid properly educates her on the birds and the bees and she learns that her now-husband Simon Basset pulling out is the real reason she hasn't become pregnant,note she forces him to come inside her, explicitly against his will. The narrative focuses on Daphne's feelings of betrayal by her husband. This is arguably Deliberate Values Dissonance, in that an aristocratic husband of the time who didn't provide his wife with children was liable to have his masculinity called into question—but then by the standards of the time, a black man would never have been an English aristocrat in the first place. It's still Lighter and Softer than the original novel's version of the scene, where Simon was too drunk to consent.

@RK: That gets swapped in with the rest of the Complete Monster pages on Tuesday.
Alright, thanks.
Request to create three new redirects for Public Execution: Capital Punishment, Death Penalty, and Execution.
This is because the Public Execution page is essentially an index for tropes about execution methods and people getting killed as punishment for an offense.
Done to here, save for the Complete Monster request.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanThe SCP Foundation entry under Horny Devils is outdated. SCP-166 was rewritten to remove the succubus aspect, so it should probably be cut, since the current 166 is no longer an example.
And since it looks like the other entry was kind of referring to 166 (it said "is entirely malevolent" I think to contrast from the other one, which isn't), I tweaked it a tiny bit just to remove that part, so this is the proposal:
- SCP Foundation: SCP-953, a Korean nine-tailed fox. She seduces a member of the SCP team sent to capture her, then rips off his testicles and shows them to him. Even the Sole Survivor of the team is implied to have an unhealthy fascination with her, and you have to keep away the Furry Fandom as well.
That makes it a subverted/evolved example, not "no longer an example".
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI might have used the wrong wording so I should clarify a little just to make sure that still counts as an evolved example.
By "no longer" I meant her being a succubus was retconned, written out entirely. Not that the character in-universe used to be a succubus but then through a plot event turned in to something that was not. As the article stands now she was never one to begin with, so the entry is about an old version of the article.
If that still counts as a subversion/evolved example that's fine (apparently the old version was archived or something? Honestly I'm not that familiar with the situation), I'm not contesting that or anything and I can draft a revised bullet point, I just wanted to be clear since my first post might have made it sound like it was a plot development instead of a total ground-up rewrite.
I write stories about naked people beating demons, gods, and eldritch horrors.Add this to The New Twenties, if it meets the standards of the page.
If this looks familiar, this was originally written by ARaya under the discussion page for The New Twenties, and I cannot write a different entry that doesn't come off as plagiarism. All credit goes to A Raya):
- After being acquitted from an impeachment trial, President Donald J. Trump's re-election seemed inevitable up until late March 2020, as his approval rating hovered his disapproval for the first time ever, the economy was doing relatively well, and the Democratic Party was teetering on the brink of a traumatic primary fight between Vermont Senator (and 2016 runner-up for the party's nomination) Bernie Sanders and several moderate figures, ranging from former Vice-President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. to tech tycoon Andrew Yang, even after the former's flagging efforts were boosted by most of the other candidates dropping out. Then, the United States became particularly hit by the COVID pandemic, with a quickly-soaring number of cases and deaths coupled with an economic nosedive not seen since the Great Depression, as a result of the Trump administration calling the pandemic a "scam", considering the disease to be no more serious than the flu (even after contracting the virus late into the campaign) and leaving the handling of the crisis to each individual state. During the summer, Trump tried to capitalize on the increasingly violent riots that sprung up after the deaths of George Floyd and other African-Americans as a "law and order" President, only to find voters siding with the Black Lives Matter movement and calls for a major reform on the nation's police departments (even as support for the protests themselves waned as these devolved into violence). Furthermore, his attempts to portray Biden as doddering and frail backfired in the first presidential debate, marked by the President constantly shouting down both the former VP and the moderator, leading to Biden coldly responding to him, "Will you shut up, man". Biden handily won the November 3 election helped by strong suburban and minority turnout (on the other hand, Trump got more votes than in 2016), although his victory didn't become official until Nov. 7 as ballots cast before Election Day (which overwhelmingly favored Biden) were mostly counted later. The President denounced the election as "rigged" against him as early as August (immediately after the party conventions), which was a defining factor on the GOP hastily appointing conservative judge Amy Comey-Barrett to the Supreme Court after the sudden death of veteran progressive Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Beginning weeks before Election Day itself, the administration filed thousands of election fraud lawsuits in several battleground states, all of which were dismissed on account of Biden's ample nationwide winnote .
- On January 6, 2021, the U.S. Congress certified Biden's Electoral College victory two weeks before he could take office. Traditionally, this is a procedure that doesn't take more than one hour and is mostly ignored. This time however, several Republican congressmen objected to the results and Trump himself held a rally announcing he wouldn't concede. Late in the afternoon, several of his supporters that attended the rally stormed the Capitol trying to interrupt the certification process (not counting the 1954 Congress shooting by Puerto Rican independentists, this was the first such attack on the building since the 1814 fire), with the standoff ending with five deaths (including that of a war veteran and a police officer). The attack was quickly condemned and Congress indicted the President for an unprecedented second time for "inciting" the agitation after VP Mike Pence refused to invoke the 25th Amendment (mostly because of the intricate process not guaranteeing Trump could be removed from office before Inauguration Day). However, Trump was acquitted even as seven GOP Senators voted to convict him (other ten were needed to achieve a two-thirds vote). Trump's social media accounts were banned (several of them permanently) as well as those linked to the Q-Anon movement that led the break-in. In spite of sort of admitting his defeat, Trump has not fully conceded to this day, refusing to attend the Inauguration (being the first time it happened since 1869) and posturing himself as a "parallel Head of State" by creating the "Office of the Former President". Tellingly, most Republicans do not consider Biden as legitimate (compared to a vocal minority of hard-left Democrats that promoted a "resistance" against Trump early into his term).

requesting Confronting Your Impostor as a Commonwealth-spelling redirect to Confronting Your Imposter.
Hello, I want a redirect to a page to be cut so I can use the name to create another page separately. The redirect is Coffee Stain Studios and the page is THQ Nordic. Can you do it for me, please?
Redirect made.
~Xtreme 19, anyone can break a redirect, so no cutting required. You'd have to go through a few hoops, but I'll make it easier. Linking to the history tab for CSS so you can edit from there.
Unsure about the New 20's request.

she/her | TRS needs your help! | Contributor of Trope ReportThank, you.
Fallen Creator has at a certain point "Useful Notes/{Atari Lynx ". Can someone please fix this to a proper link to Atari Lynx? (and maybe cut the links to the Worms sequels in the Team 17 entry to reduce the number of redlinks in the page?)
^Done. I think the The New 20es request is far too detailed for a general decade article.

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsCreate Sports Tropes as a redirect to Sports Story Tropes.
Also create Animation as a redirect to Animated Shows.
Maybe it would be better as a disambig between Animated Films and Animated Shows. Ignore.

Your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man.Localized Title as a redirect for Market-Based Title? I feel like that's the term that most people outside the site would use.
Related to , Localised Title for the Commonwealth spelling.
Done to here.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanCan I get this added to The Fundamentalist in the Music folder?
- In The Mechanisms' Rock Opera "High Noon At Camelot", Galahad is reinterpreted as a Fire and Brimstone preacher instead of a pure Knight in Shining Armor. He thinks the decaying orbit of the Space Station everyone lives on is actually the world falling into hell (although he's technically right about how to stop it), and later walks into a hall of gun turrets thinking his faith will protect him (it doesn't, but he stays alive and moving far longer than he should).
I did that, although I removed the italics, as a persona/band does not receive quotes/italics to distinguish them.
