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.

I might start an IP thread for it, since the roles have been dissolved and the image seems like it'll be actively misleading now.

On Trivia.Sonichu, change Weird Al Effect to Parody Displacement and put all the entries in correct alphabetical order (entries starting with "Wh" should come before "Wr"). Also, change "Eventually, their creator grew dissatisfied with Christine's treatment of their character and demanded that they be written out of the comic." to "Eventually, her creator grew dissatisfied with Christine's treatment of his character and demanded that she be written out of the comic."

Is it cool if I just ask for a link fix on The Scorpion's Tale entry? Just a minor change from Web Original to Magnificent Bastard Web Original. Thank you in advance for all the work and no problem waiting till next week if that's preferred!

Requesting that Weak Against Fire be redirected to Weak to Fire.

@Last page: I think the redirect of Ethnic Goddess to Ethnic God got missed since it wasn't outright rejected during the sweep.

Done to here, but the second redirect in ^ is a plural redirect, which we don't create unless they are irregular and this one is not.

Are you referring to Ethnic Goddess? If so, I believe you are mistaken: to my knowledge, "Goddess" refers to a female deity, not a plurality of deities.

Do you mean a gendered redirect? The plural of "God" would be "Gods", not "Goddess".

Is it possible to ghost wick cut

Recap.Pokemon Equestrian Champions Chapter 31 Clash Of Dragons The Final Gym Battle

And

Recap.Pokemon Equestrian Champions Chapter 31 Clash Of Dragons The Final Gym Batt

? The first might be too long...? Not sure how mod tools work with that.

And the latter only exists in the page list for Recap.

Not sure if this is the place to ask for a mod revert, but can I get one for Characters.Dragon Ball Z Abridged Movies? I was dewicking Famous Last Words (since it's no longer a trope) and goofed.

NVM, I can do that myself now evil grin

Ethnic Goddess now exists as a gendered redirect to Ethnic God, per what was previously said. I haven't touched anything else since that post.

Edit: The Complete Monster subpages were already taken care of by someone else.

Edit: The Badass Mustache wicks were removed. I haven't taken care of the ghost wick because I'd feel more comfortable letting a more experienced mod handle that one for now.

I am taking care of the ghost wicks, but I can't guarantee that it will work - too long titles are too long.

Fast Travel redirect to Zip Mode?

I think that's the same thing? Skipping over travel, between discovered locations?

Done.

As a side note, I couldn't help but notice that Fast Travel already had five wicks despite being a Red Link, so those links have somewhere to go now.

Being linked to is usually a good argument for creating a redirect. Unless they're misuse or talk about something different.
