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.

So, I edited this post of animal disamigs to add more targets. Does that change your decision?


Plurality Tropes as a redirect to Multiplicity Tropes, as suggested here.

You edited the wrong part of Monster.Pokemon. Sorry, I should have been more clear.

The sentence that currently reads:

Ardos is fully involved and supportive of Cipher's worst atrocities, involving the mass corruption of Pokémon into becoming unfeeling Shadow Pokémon-whereupon they'll be rendered unable to be purified and massed into an army through which Cipher will control the world.

should read:

Ardos is fully involved and supportive of Cipher's worst atrocities, involving the mass corruption of Pokémon into becoming unfeeling Shadow Pokémon—whereupon they'll be rendered unable to be purified and massed into an army through which Cipher will control the world.

An extra - should be added.

And the sentence that currently reads:

When Greevil is defeated, Ardos, in a last moment of desperation, attempts to cajole his father into killing the child protagonist by wiping out their base on Citadark Isle—-taking all his subordinates in the building with it, to which Ardos merely scoffs "such things can be replaced".

should read:

Could this be added to YMMV.Death Battle under Broken Base? This was discussed in the cleanup thread and is based on my observations of multiple discussions over the course several months, so I'm sure it's a good example.

  • "Flash VS Sonic" was highly debated ever since it was announced, and the discussion has not gotten any less intense since then. Because Archie Sonic and Wally West both have very loosely defined limits, fans of both characters contest Death Battle's claim that The Flash would win in a very close fight. However, while a large portion of the fanbase believes that the fight should have been described as a Curb-Stomp Battle, there is much disagreement about who should have won. Fans of Sonic claim that he was lowballed, as he's a high-level Reality Warper who should be able to delete his opponent from existence on a whim, while The Flash's supporters point out that Death Battle itself states that he can No-Sell anything Sonic can throw at him, making his victory a Foregone Conclusion. That's on top of those who do agree with the episode's analysis, and those who are mainly upset at the episode continuing DC Comics' win streak against non-Marvel franchises.

On JustForFun.Chekovs Gun, please remove the line about Grays Anatomy, as it is now a redlink. (This is a relic of when both Gray's Anatomy and the TV series Grey's Anatomy were in Main/, so it's unnecessary anyway.)

Point-and-Click Game is currently an index for games with that interface, but the term "Point-and-Click" is most commonly associated with point-and-click Adventure Games, so how about Point And Click Adventure (and / or Point And Click Adventure Game) as a redirect for either Point-and-Click Game or Adventure Game?

I noticed a troper by the name of MCE had put in an entry for "Cast from calories" on the main trope page itself, and I figured I'd do em' the favor of adding it to the main page of the RayFox page. Here's what they wrote:

  • Cast from Calories: Metas require large amounts of calories to use their powers. Ray finds this out when he passes out after being a few days away from home cooking.

Whether or not this is actually true, I've no idea; All I know is this troper put that there and I'm assuming that it's accurate given that their past troping indicates so. I've not read book #4 (having started with book #3 in the winter before the previous one, then 1 and 2 during last summer), not even outta bile fascination, so I have no idea and nor do I really wish to go and confirm it...maybe someday I will but for now, it's a hard no.

Also, while I'm here...about this YMMV entry of mine:

  • Broken Base: From chapters 1-2, you have one half of the base who thinks Ray's imprisonment is justified since he caused a lot of property destruction and law-breaking, often shouting "realism" and the reasoning that no one seeing Ray's heroism negates it... and then you have the other half that thinks it isn't, that the society of Meva City and the law is a complete trainwreck, and that property damage shouldn't overshadow the fact that Ray has done a better job at fighting crime than anyone else at the moment regardless of the mishaps that occurred.

I'd like to switch out "half" with "part"; while there are definitely people of the latter side in this YMMV entry (though not as vocal as the former, admittedly), the fanbase isn't that big from what I could tell, so in hindsight the way I wrote this trope made it sound like it was on a bigger scale than it really was by saying "half".

I'm not saying delete the trope; it does belong there. I'm just saying edit those two bits so that it comes off as less grandiose, know what I mean?

That's about all I can think of regarding that page for now...probably won't have anymore to add after that for obvious reasons I stated earlier, unless there's anything of mine in YMMV I wish to either edit or remove later.

Hello. So, I've just completed the hard split of works under "Freedom Fighters" name and would like to request to make a disambiguation page for Freedom Fighters.

Here's my proposed writeup:

This is a disambiguation page. Perhaps you were looking for:
