Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

No Exit:

Since No Entrance is a trope, the inversion along the entrance-exit axis should be something too?

Edit: Inescapable Ambush exists too, but I think trying to escape is different from just trying to exit, and also different from lacking the physical structure of an exit.

Again, we aren't going to be making disambigs like that anymore. All we need for that is a not to be confused line on some of those pages. Unless there's 2 or more works/other articles in the disambig that share the same name, I will not be making a disambig for it.

Done to here otherwise.

At Metroid, for Dread, please change the first pothole to Metroid - Raven Beak

Also, rewrites for Kamen Rider:

• Kamen Rider Gaim: Redyue is the worst of the diabolical Overlord Inves. As a vile, selfish, and Manipulative Bitch, she brags about having killed her entire family and corrupts Mitsuzane Kureshima into becoming her puppet, using him to obtain human subjects for a machine that would revive the dead. She aggravates the humans into launching missiles, thereby forcing her superior Roshuo to redirect the missiles to America and to declare war against humanity. She is also not above Mind Rape, as seen when she tries to mentally break Kouta Kazuraba by portraying him in a hallucination as an Inves being attacked by his former mentor Yuya. Moreover, Redyue has a sickening obsession over backstabbing and killing those close to her, as seen when she ruthlessly kills Roshuo after the latter defeats Kouta and Kaito Kumon. While the rest of her fellow Overlords, except for Roshuo, were definitely evil themselves, Redyue stands out for her willingness to use any means necessary to play mind games with, and to commit genocide against, humanity, simply for fun.
• And for Kamen Rider Build (Namba's fine):
  • Evolt/Kamen Rider Evol, the true mastermind behind the problems faced by the heroes, is an entity seeking to create a "new world" by devouring everything in the universe, leaving only himself. Destroying planets alongside his people, the Blood Tribe, Evolt wiped out many civilizations before being stopped on Mars by the surviving Martian Queen Vernage. Possessing an astronaut and rendering him aware but unable to do anything, Evolt goes to the Earth and causes the Skywall Disaster that killed countless innocents and split Japan into three states. Under the alias "Blood Stalk", Evolt corrupts Gentoku Himuro by preying on his mind and killing his best friend and founds Faust with him and scientist Takumi Katsuragi to carry out painful experiments on kidnapped people to turn them into Smash. When Katsuragi discovers his alien origins and turns against him, Evolt mind wipes him, kills an innocent man to swap his face with him, and renames him "Sento Kiryu" so he can keep using him. Desiring Ryuga Banjo, whom he corrupted with his DNA when he was only an infant, as his new host, Evolt had Ryuga's fiancée, fatally transformed into a "Smash", to increase Ryuga's raise Hazard Level by increasing his rage. Inciting a war between the three states of Japan, Evolt painfully experiments on Gentoku to turn him into a weapon and takes over Sento's body, keeping his personality around so he can make him watch as he slaughters his friends. He later betrays Namba and challenges the Kamen Riders to a final battle where they will have to reach the top of the Pandora Tower, destroying a section of Japan for every ten minutes they don't make it. Achieving his ultimate form, Evolt summons a Black Hole to consume the Earth but destroys it slowly so he can gaze at the despair on the heroes' faces for longer.

Quite some more changes requested for Television Is Trying to Kill Us:

A few new entries:

• Alcohol Is Gasoline: Running a gasoline-only car on ethanol may corrode it internally and permanently damage the engine.
• Babies Ever After, Babies Make Everything Better: While having children is known to brighten up many lives, such is expensive, time-consuming, and NOT a cure-all. Having a baby for any reason when you're not in a decent position to do so (with respect to your finances, relationship, and life in general) can severely fuck up both your life and that of the resulting child(ren).
• Belief Makes You Stupid: The immense majority of firmly religious people are overall perfectly normal folk who believe in science as much as anyone else. They disapprove of The Fundamentalists who hate science, as well as the stigma that they are all overzealous bigots.
• Men Are Tough, Men Don't Cry: Patriarchal standards are restrictive to men like they are to women, making it more difficult for the former to reach out in the event of emotional issues.

Some more new entries, courtesy of Troper 3:

• Frigid Water Is Harmless: Swimming in cold water in real life is a good way to get hypothermia. Water that is just above freezing will sap the heat from your body pretty fast, while even colder water can even stop your heart.
• Hollywood Skydiving: Real Life parachuting is a precise science. You have to deploy your parachute at exactly the right time; doing it too soon could break your leg or veer you away from the drop zone, while doing it too late could result in you not having enough time to cut away and deploy your reserve should the main canopy malfunction at such a low altitude.
• Improvised Parachute: Parachutes are designed specially to protect someone from injuring themselves while falling, and can't be substituted by any ordinary object. The only time you should try this is if you are already falling from a height, and have absolutely nothing to protect you from injury.
• Parasol Parachute: Real Life parachutes have vent-holes in the top to help keep them stable, something that umbrellas don't have (as that would defeat the purpose of an umbrella in the first place), preventing them from being of any use as parachutes.
• Puny Parachute: Parachutes in real life need to be huge in order to work properly. Tiny parachutes do not function the same as regular ones.

The last sentence of Exposed to the Elements should become "Also see Frigid Water Is Harmless and Harmless Freezing way down below."

The following in place of Smoking Is Cool, Smoking Is Glamorous, Men Act, Women Are, Men Are Strong, Women Are Pretty, and Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male:

• Smoking Is Cool, Smoking Is Glamorous: The portrayal of smoking (along with too anvilicious anti-smoking messages, which run directly into becoming these tropes by turning tobacco into Forbidden Fruit) as cool or beautiful have the unfortunate tendency to encourage young people to smoke and therefore take on all of the risks to life and health that tobacco smoking poses.
• Double Standard: Abuse is abuse, rape is rape, and violence is violence, no matter who it involves. This applies to the likes of Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male, Double Standard Rape: Female on Male, Double Standard: Rape, Male on Male, Double Standard: Rape, Female on Female, and Double Standard: Violence, Child on Adult.
• Men Act, Women Are, Men Are Strong, Women Are Pretty: The idea that women deserve punishment for not being "beautiful" or "delicate" or "passive" enough (including sexually), or that their actions/inactions reflect on the men in their lives (and thus those men need to punish or dispose of them to restore their good name) leads to Domestic Abuse, bullying, Slut-Shaming, and Honor-Related Abuse. It also puts pressure on men to act as leaders, even if they don't want to or aren't suited for it, and shames men for not doing so. Thus, these tropes encourage both common genders to take extreme measures to achieve socially accepted levels of "strong" and "pretty" respectively.

The tropes listed for the "Science is..." entry should be realphabetized.

If you're cleaning up I Ate WHAT?! at the Sandboxes, please also remove them from the actual CM pages and, where applicable, the YMMV pages.

^ I fixed the Monster subpages. I already cleaned the YMMV/ subpages a couple of days ago.

^^ I did everything except the Harmless Freezing edit because referring to other entries within a separate entry is discouraged because everything on this wiki is subject to change.

Can I post in OTC again, please?

I think you meant to post that on the Edit Banned thread.

Paging ~Redmess regarding the above post.

Oops, my bad.

On Locked Pages, the link to Ask The Tropers 2 goes to a cut page, so it should probably be removed.

Edited by Lymantria on Mar 12th 2022 at 5:53:20 PM

The World's Breast Tropes: Remove the Hurricane of Euphemisms pothole because we shouldn't trope our own words?

Done and done

Would it be alright to request this to be added under the Asian Animation header on The New '20s page?

• Mechamato (2021)

Thanks in advance.

• Heartwarming.TheWonderfulWorldOfPussInBoots to Heartwarming.TheWonderfulWorldOfPussNBoots

To match all the other moves?

I want to QU the image at Double Standard with this◊.

Done to here

• Characters.TheElderScrollsHistorialFigures to Characters.TheElderScrollsHistoricalFigures for a spelling fix?

• Characters.SeriesStalker to Characters.StalkerSeries
• Characters.VideoGameStalker to Characters.StalkerVideoGame

For disambiguation standardization reasons.

This entry

• As One Star Sets Another Rises: Johann Ratka, despite being a minor villain, stands out as among the worst of the Nazis. An SS officer in occupied Netherlands with a fanatical devotion to Hitler and the pagan Germanic deities, he's introduced sadistically taunting a group of forced laborers about how their "Jew-boy" hasn't come to save them. Just the week before, he had a group of clergymen, along with their families, tortured to death when they said they couldn't work on the Sabbath. When a group of laborers tried to take a stand, he has them all shot and tells the rest that if they rebel, he'll have there whole families murdered. In addition to murdering those who refuse to work, any rebellion is dealt with by means of extreme brutality. He particularly enjoys preying on the Christian population, due to his belief that Jesus was a "cowardly Jew" unworthy of worship. Remembered as a "modern day Herod" in the Netherlands and considered an example of a Serial Killer given a high position, Johann Ratka was the perfect representation of the evils of the Nazis.

can be removed from Monster.Web Original, as the work the character is from is now housed on Darth Wiki due to being considered unpublished (its only archive is a forum thread that requires an offsite login to view).

Hold off on the Stalker requests; there's an ongoing discussion on how to disambiguate them. (And those pages aren't locked anyway.)
