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]Was this discussed in the Fallen Creator cleanup thread? I'm hesitant to make those changes if they weren't discussed there.

At the very least, the Wachowski entry should be updated somehow, because it's old enough to not even acknowledge that they later directed Jupiter Ascending.

Actually, Fallen Creator as a whole is seriously outdated on many fronts, but fixing that would require creating a sandbox, unfortunately.

Hello, Septimus. I wanted to ask if I, a suspended user, aren't allowed to make suggestions for some of these locked pages.

For example, I want to rewrite an entry in Fallen Creator:

When you mention him now, though, thoughts will inevitably drift to the... less than stellar works from the end of his time on the comic, especially the infamous "Titan Tails" fiasco.

It's just a nitpick, but while Penders worked in issue 150, he didn't write the "Titan Tails" story. That was Romy Chacon. Can you delete the "especially the infamous "Titan Tails" fiasco"?

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.

[up][up][up] I was redirected to this thread when I asked about adding the entry. The Fallen Creator cleanup thread doesn't appear to be very active, but I could go over there to discuss the matter.

Per the OvershadowedByControversy cleanup thread, could a mod delete the OBC entry there?

Actually, I can't believe it was there at all since it was edit-warred onto the page (which is what led to the page being locked, I assume), and almost all the people discussing it wanted it off.

Would Career vs. Man be alright as a redirect to Career Versus Man? The former has two or three wicks, which could be made to the latter, but I'd like to know if the redirect is fine as an alternative.

"Kick Me" Sign as a redirect to "Kick Me" Prank? I used the former at least once...

Qi:

''Qi'' may refer to:

* An alternate spelling of the ''Ki'' of KiManipulation.
* An alternate spelling of the ''Chi'' or ''Ki'' that's LifeEnergy.
* [[Series/{{QI}} The television show]].

If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.

Suggesting Railroading to be added to Writing Pitfall Index, under Poor Plotting:

  • Railroading: The plot of a game feels forced if it isn't interactive enough.

Circle redirect to The Circle since that disambig already handles it at the end?


Circles?

''Circles'' may refer to:

* Something being pointed to from [[TheCircle TheCircle or Circle]].
* [[ComicBook/{{Circles}} The comic book]].

If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.

Not sure if me mistaking Signs And Symbols Tropes for Shapes and Symbols Tropes is a good reason to make a redirect.

Perhaps Signs at least, though?

''Signs'' may refer to:

* One of the ShapesAndSymbolsTropes.
* One of the StockOminousSigns, or a PortentOfDoom.
* The WavingSignsAround trope, about physical signs on sticks.
* The GiveMeASign trope, about asking a higher power for an indication of something.
* [[Film/{{Signs}} The film]].

If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.

...

Then there's Sign...

Sorry for being late, but now that the Monster.RWBY page has been locked, in the quote at the top of the page, can you please capitalize "God of Light"? I missed that before the page locked. Thanks!

An addition to CurbStompBattle.Death Battle which was discussed in the thread:

  • "Korra VS Storm" had Storm massively outclassing the Avatar in nearly every category. Storm has such a huge advantage in terms of power, speed, range, and precision, that she could suffocate Korra or fry her brain with lightning from the other side of the world without giving her a chance to fight back.

One more late one if that's okay:

Please swap Monster Fist Of The North Star for Fist of the North Star (the Sandbox can be added to the Cut List once this is done).
