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.

[up] Given that the CN Real target demographic is now in their twenties and mature enough to not repeat what got it PRLC'd, we might as well try unlocking the page.

If any further shenanigans happen, back to the locked pages list it'll go.

Worth noting that CN recently (and highly controversially) said they would reintroduce live-action programming, so there is that.

The page is about CN Real, not CN's live-action programming as a whole, so I don't see that as a concern.

I *think* I got all of the CM requests in one swoop this time around.

I'll come back to the CN Real unlock proposal when I am more awake.

Incredibly Lame Pun seems to be indexing Pun, Stealth Pun, Just For Pun, Snowclones and Lame Pun Reaction despite being a redirect and not having them in code, and I can't check the locked page to see why.

It's been a decade and CN Real vitriol has died down since then so I am good with unlocking the page.

[up][up] That's done.

[up] I'll try to see if I can fix that with the page mover tool + a cut.

EDIT: That worked.

^ You have to be more specific than that. Do you have a sandbox link?

Also, I think Creator.CN Real was unlocked a while ago. It was just never removed from the Locked Pages list. I fixed that.

Hmmm, just make it "...the following demonstrate the worst elements of it..."

Also, at Mythology & Religion, for the final entry at British Isles Folklore, please change "The Nuckelavee" to "The Nuckelavee"

On the locked YMMV page for DEATH BATTLE!, there are two sinkholes to Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment of the heavily-frowned-upon "and that's all that will be said" variety that need removing as part of a larger cleanup effort.

I'll fix it but for future reference, capitalization fixes are preformed on this thread.

On Dominatrix, please change both Bastard Girlfriend wicks to Fetishized Abuser, since the former is now a redirect of the latter.

Request for Hollywood Tactics under the "Fan Fiction" folder:

  • Zig-zagged in The Night Unfurls.
    • Cover, discipline, strategy, supplies, surprise, tactics, terrain, and training all play an important role in warfare. This is a Low Fantasy series after all. The fact that Kyril's company heavily and repeatedly emphasise these elements is what makes them the Men of Sherwood.
    • In contrast, the Black Dogs demonstrate military incompetence during pivotal moments, which sows the seeds of their defeat. It doesn't help that a large portion of their forces are made up of an assortment of Dumb Muscle mooks (e.g. orcs, mutants, etc.). The following blunders are the most notable:
      • So the Black Dog forces succeed in taking over a village in Chapter 4. Great! They then proceed to enjoy their fruits of victory via Rape, Pillage, and Burn, with special mention for the first part. No wonder they do not expect an attack at night. The moment they start to put their pants on and grab a weapon, Kyril and Maia's forces have already crashed through the gate to reclaim their territory.
      • In Chapter 11, judging from Sanakan's slightly surprised reaction upon witnessing the orcs in front of her forming battle lines, one can make a reasonable inference that the orcs don't do this often, primitive as they are.
      • The Rad and Leaping Lizards arcs feature monsterous mutants as Elite Mooks. Alas, their bestial intelligence means that the best they could do is a disorganised charge at the enemy.

If you're listing a series of examples from a Franchise, and the individual works of said example have in turn more than one example, then third-bullets are fair game as long as those are properly indented as well. For example:

The writeup of the troper above is actually correct, because while the parent work isn't a franchise, the third-bullet entries enumerate individual parts from the last second-bullet entry.

Battleheart is making a ghost wick to BareFistedMonk


I wonder if Trained Martial Artist is a good redirect to Bare-Fisted Monk, since they don't have to be a monk, and the current Bare Fisted Fighter redirect sounds like Good Old Fisticuffs.
