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:
- Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
- Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
- 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.
- We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
- If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here.
- If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
- To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

It's gonna be fun on the bun!Why?? It’s commonplace in a lot of CM and MB pages to link to relevant character pages even if any Character Specific Pages don’t exist

Monster.Warhammer needs a JustForFun/ namespace added to Recycled In Space in the header.
Troper.Nefer 007 is making a ghost wick to BiggerBad.
"BiggerBad" to "GreaterScopeVillain"

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576On Magnificent Bastard, please pothole “as opposed to a magnificent katana” in the caption to Overly Sarcastic Productions.

Okay, so I now see the reason for that Preacher request - they were cutting the character page the entry linked to. Please change the Red Link of Preacher 2016 Angelville to Preacher 2016 New Orleans on Preacher
That's done
Macron's notesAll Gays Are Pedophiles needs the Literature.Dune wick changed to Franchise.Dune, as it's referring to the entire authorship, and not just the specific first novel.
^Tabs got that one
Macron's notesFor Final Fantasy VII: Playable Characters
Add entries.
Under Cloud
- Add Berserker Tears: It's not obvious from the sprite but Word of God says Cloud is in Manly Tears during Aerith's death scene. What is obvious from the sprite (and the dialogue), though, is that he wanted to fuck Sephiroth up so bad for killing her.
- Add Meteor-Summoning Attack: His appropriately named Meteorrain Limit Break allows Cloud to produce several meteors from his BFS to strike multiple enemies.
- Add One-Hit KO: His Finishing Touch Limit Break has a chance to kill multiple enemies with one swing.
Under Barret.
- Add Anti-Magic: His Mindblow Limit Break depletes a single enemy's MP completely.
- Add Discard and Draw: Barrett can switch from his standard Long-Range Fighter class to a melee combatant by equipping him with certain weapons (specifically Atomic Scissors, Cannon Ball, This Is a Drill, and Rocket Punch), though he's primarily the former.
- Add Harpoon Gun: His Pile Banger is a weird subversion. It is classified and functions as a long-ranged weapon but Barret's attack animation while equipped with it is the same as his melee weapons.
- Add Shear Menace: Atomic Scissors, which is Barret's first potential close-range arm attachment if the player steals from the Custom Sweeper monster on the world map upon leaving Midgar. If the player missed on stealing it, they could buy it from either Junon or Gongaga weapon shops.
- The first letter of the second sentence of his Spike Balls of Doom entry is not capitalized.
Under Tifa
- Add Dark Is Not Evil: Tifa wears an all-black outfit in Advent Children and is obviosuly still one of the good guys.
- Changing Ms. Fanservice entry to "and easily cements herself as one of video game's most popular sex symbols". (My bad, I forgot to put the "one of" beforehand)
Under Aerith
- Simple Staff: Half of Aerith's weapons aren't actual Magic Staff but they function as such anyways. Specifically, Guard Stick (her starting weapon), Mythril Rod, Full Metal Staff, Striking Staff, and Aurora Rod are all clearly designed for combat or/and self-defense.
Under Red XIII
- Add Combat Haircomb: His weapons are various hair clips, combs, and headdresses.
- Add Howl of Sorrow: Gave one after finding out what really happened to his father Seto, whom Red wrongly believed a Dirty Coward. If you bring him on Forbidden City at the end of Disc 1, he'll also give one to Aerith.
Under Caith Sith
- Add The Dividual: Officially the Caith Sith character is the robotic cat, but his giant nameless Moogle is always with him serving as his means of moving that it's essentially the character too. There's also the Reeve factor.
- Add Early-Bird Cameo: A toy version of him could be spotted if the player enters Honey Bee Inn and peeks at one of the rooms in the right during Cloud's Disguised in Drag side quest to infiltrate Don Corneo's mansion. The actual character doesn't appear until the first visit to Gold Saucer.
- Add Redeeming Replacement: Thanks to his Expendable Clone nature. The first Caith Sith who joins the party is a spy for Shinra. The second one is a genuine ally through and through.
Under Cid
- Add An Axe To Grind: One of his weapons is called Master Axe and few others are halberds (axes on lances/spears).
- Add Bifurcated Weapon: Few of his weapons are halberds, axes attached on lances/spears that could function as both.
- Add Broomstick Quarterstaff: Cid's joke weapon is a mop. It could be dug in Bone Village or bought in the Junon weapon shop.
- Add Prongs of Poseidon: One of his weapons is the Trident. It could be found on the Temple of the Ancients or bought in the Junon weapon shop.
Under Yuffie
- Add Art Attacker: Two of her weapons are a pinwheel (the Pinwheel) and an origami (the Oritsuru).
- Add Defeat Means Playable: Yuffie is the only playable character required to be defeated first in order to be recruited.
- Add Paper Master: Her second most powerful weapon, the Oritsuru, is a paper crane. It could be obtained once the player puts out the flame at the Da-chao statue using Leviathan Scale.
- Add Rings of Death: She had a few of these in addition to her typical arsenal of shurikens and boomerangs. Razor Ring is a straight up example. Rising Sun combines it with Chainsaw Good. Yuffie's ultimate weapon, the Conformer, combines it with her usual Fuuma Shuriken.

There's a few Bastard Boyfriend wicks that need to be changed to Fetishized Abuser on the page for Fifty Shades of Grey, as part of the trope's clean-up. First, the entry for Bastard Boyfriend itself, and then the second wick to be on the entry for Distracted by the Sexy.
On Characters.Lilys Poke Madhouse, please delete the Technicolor Hair entry. It's a holdover from when the redirect went to You Gotta Have Blue Hair and its TRS thread is trying to clean up that redirect.
I don't actually have any Bumblebee icons, I just think the nickname is funny.Working on these now...
I don't know about adding the Red Boxing Gloves trope because I think it's supposed to be slapstick violence for comedy despite the broad name. The example looks like a Zero-Context Example as is. The Dark Is Not Evil entry for Tifa is also a ZCE so I won't add it until you add more context to it.
The Shoot the Medic First seems like misuse because Aerith wasn't killed because she was The Medic.
Edited by MacronNotes on Mar 27th 2022 at 11:28:58 AM
Macron's notes
Multiform Balance does not sufficiently explain how it fits the trope description.
Shoot the Medic First, Early-Bird Cameo, and Defeat Means Friendship are misuse, read the trope descriptions, ~RT 1986.
Edited by homogenized on Mar 27th 2022 at 10:29:39 AM
Yeah, I didn't add those entries to the page for those reasons.
Done to here otherwise
Macron's notesI updated my requested entries. I removed the ones you already put on the page (thanks BTW) and added new ones, plus updated the descriptions to the ones you said needed more depth (e.g Tifa's Dark Is Not Evil entry and Caith Sith's Early-Bird Cameo).
See my previous response.
Edited by RT1986 on Mar 27th 2022 at 11:38:04 AM
I have a suggestion: create Weeaboo and Weeb as redirects to Occidental Otaku. (And before anyone gets the wrong idea, I'm not planning to move or rename any pages.)
Edited by AHI-3000 on Mar 28th 2022 at 1:05:34 AM
On the YMMV page for Fifty Shades of Grey, please change both Bastard Boyfriend wicks (located on the Designated Hero and Relationship Writing Fumble entries) to Fetishized Abuser, as part of the former's clean-up.
I took care of the ghost wick. Not sure if Trained Martial Artist is needed.
