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. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

For Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil, please add these two entries:

  • The God of Destruction comes to Remnant: Gojira doesn't see anything wrong with killing, but when he learns the Red Suns plan to rape Velvet and Coco, he becomes completely enraged and comes to their rescue.

  • Final Fantasy VII Remake: During a board meeting, the Shinra executives eagerly talk about wanting to torture Aerith to get the information they want. However, when Professor Hojo talks about wanting to turn Aerith into a Breeding Slave for the members of SOLDIER so he can study any resulting children, the executives are all disgusted and President Shinra quickly ends the meeting.

Please make Gambling Mini Game (or Gambling Minigame if the former capitalization is incorrect) a redirect to Betting Mini-Game.

On It's A Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door, please change the Enthralling Siren entry to Our Sirens Are Different, since the former has been renamed to the latter.

Per TRS, Society Marches On is to be renamed to Future Society, Present Values, so requesting that Sandbox.Future Society Present Values be moved to Main.Future Society Present Values, with the discussion page being moved to the new location.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

In Story and In Series as redirects to In-Universe, please (and custom-titled to In-Story and In-Series)? Both are often used when the concept of a "story universe" isn't well-known, and the latter even has In-Series Nickname using the term.

Stamina Points and Stamina Meter redirects to Sprint Meter since apparently that's our term for stamina-measurement?

Please redirect World Currency and Supranational Currency to Global Currency, as they are common terms for this trope's concept outside fictional contexts.

Please add to False Rape Accusation:

    Films — Animated 
  • Joseph: King of Dreams: Zuleika invokes this trope when she doesn't get her way with Joseph and tells Potiphar that he raped her. She regrets it when Joseph is set to be executed and begs her husband not to kill him. Potiphar quickly realizes that Joseph is innocent, but circumstance forces him to punish Joseph regardless to preserve his wife's honor.

The "Film" folder should also be changed to "Films — Live-Action".

Request to remove this from The Bible:

* Trope Overdosed (and the Trope Maker, Trope Namer, or Trope Codifier in many cases) Of course, we should bear in mind that it's technically a collection of several dozen books (the exact number depending on the canon you adhere to).

It's misuse of Trope Overdosed (which is Just for Fun) and a Zero-Context Example for the tropes (or Trope Namer, which is trivia) since it doesn't explain how it counts as an example.

Per TRS, Mind Manipulation has been renamed to Mind Control, so the discussion page needs to be moved to the new name.

Whoops, looks like there's an error on False Rape Accusation. The second film folder should just be "Films — Live-Action", not "Films — Live-Action TV".
