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.

Also, on The Otherworld, on Malcolm Danvers' entry, there's a bit that says "killing am old man who gave him a ride" - please correct that to "killing an old man who gave him a ride". If you need help locating it, it's underneath the page's only Ungrateful Bastard pothole.

Thanks!

Can you swap in Sandbox.Monster Fan Works for Monster.Fan Works? I fixed an error where a description of killing one's own mother linked to Patricide instead of Matricide.

The examples of Old Shame on Creator.Lily Orchard didn't look right in terms of formatting. Feel free to swap it in with this:

  • Old Shame:
    • Rather Vocalized Illusion, and much of the environment surrounding the series' inception. She expressed views in this web series that she would later consider unsavory.
    • Her old videos with Josh Scorcher, particularly the collaboration review of the "Over the Barrel" episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. In a 2019 Q&A video, she said that she wasn't happy when the videos were made, and likes them even less as time passes, wishing they'd be taken down.
    • Stockholm, a Comedy/Grimdark Romance fanfiction of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic that was co-written by Lily, and published in 2014. Lily has denied the existence of this fanfiction.

Why? Those are unnecessary when a search for those terms should turn up the actual article. Redirects are not for use as alternative wicks but for searchability.

Yeah, I don't think we need all of those redirects.

Did the Creator.Lily Orchard and Monster.Fan Works requests.

Would it be possibly to redirect Hitwoman With A Heart to Hitman with a Heart as a gender redirect.

[up][up][up] We already have Assassin With A Heart so maybe we don't need Hitwoman With A Heart.

[up][up] It's standard practice to have colons bolded along with the speaker tag in page quotes. That's how it's done on Administrivia.Text Formatting Rules.

Done to here otherwise.

Two bullets on the music videos folder of Underboobs, regarding links and formatting:

  • 'David Lee Roth's video for California Girls" > "David Lee Roth's video for "California Girls""
  • "Don't speak" by No Doubt features an underboob shot of singer Gwen Stefani." > ""Don't Speak" by No Doubt features an underboob shot of singer Gwen Stefani."

Sleepless:

''Sleepless'' may refer to:

* TheSleepless, for a character that doesn't need to sleep.
* TheInsomniac, for a character that can't sleep.
* [[Fanfic/{{Sleepless}} The fanfic]].
* [[Film/{{Sleepless}} The film]].

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

Move Film.The Ascent to Film.The Ascent 1977 for disambig reasons?

I'll handle the rest once it's moved.

There seems to be a lot of entries waiting to be updated at the UsefulNotes.The New Twenties, coming from the Discussion page.

The New '20s article isn't a news site that has to be constantly updated with a play-by-play of everything that happens. That's why it was locked in the first place.

Yes, there's that, but at the same time, it needs updates from time to time without making it look out of date. And considering that 2021 has passed, and it needs a bit of an update up to that point.
