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.

I got a question for people requesting works to be moved to a different namespace. Since it's possible to do it yourself, why are you suggesting for mods to move the works? I don't mean to sound rude but I'm wondering why.

[up] Because doing it here preserves the page history.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

The people requesting are responsible for moving the wicks themselves though. Also, page with only few items in the page history don't need to be mod moved.

[up][up] Aw shit, I moved Marie Antoinette (2006) and Marie Antoinette (Musical) by myself forever ago. The OG page history is probably gone, so does that mean I'm in trouble for that?

[down] Ah ok, that's good.

No, you are fine. People can still move pages themselves and that's what's expected for the most part (plus we don't want this thread to be flooded with move requests). Having them mod moved is optional. Besides, if the original page was redirected instead of cut, the history would still be viewable to everyone. It just won't be as accessible.

Crosswicks for Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil:

  • Aeon 14:
    • Rika Redeemed. As if we didn't have enough reasons to hate the book's villain Stavros, he forces Rika to give him a blowjob when he brings her into his service. Or rather, he uses her Restraining Bolt to try to make her do it, and even though it's disabled by the fact she's carrying an Artificial Intelligence's core, she has to go along with it to maintain her cover.
    • Roxy's character arc (begins in War on a Thousand Fronts) reveals that ex-Hand chief Justin had her modded to be unable to say no to sex (and told everybody that she had it done to herself).
  • Downplayed in The Diadem Saga. Aleytys herself has a rather blase attitude to sexual violence despite the fact it's frequently directed at her in the first several books. It's implied that after all the hardship she went through in the first book, she just considers it another risk to deal with rather than anything particularly harmful. That said, those who force themselves on her do tend to be the worst people in each book in other respects.

The Princess:

''The Princess'' may refer to:

* [[Film/ThePrincess2022 A 2022 film.]]
* [[Literature/ThePrincess1847 The poem by Alfred, LordTennyson.]]
* [[Webcomic/ThePrincess2009 A 2009 webcomic.]]

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

Then point Film.The Princess there. Cleaned out the wicks, so we could make the Film into a redirect so auto-disambig can handle things and just make Webcomic.The Princess a redirect to the webcomic.

[up][up][up] The first example doesn't show how rape is treated as the worst thing a person can do in the work. Same with the second example.

Done to here otherwise.

Requesting change: The Bible Literature.

Depending on the Writer: Jesus' character tends to vary quite a bit depending on who's describing him.

Requesting that it either is removed or moved to YMMV. Reason: There are no examples or backing to this argument.

[up][up]Objective tropes, including DOTW, do not belong to YMMV. If the example doesn't fit, it should simply be removed.

To the mods, but you technically did that already. Now just wait until one comes here. tongue

We go here to move reviews, right?

Please move the review on Anime.Mega Man NT Warrior to Anime.Mega Man NT Warrior 2002.

Yes, you can request reviews to be moved here.

Working on these requests now.

I will also need Monster: Mega Man swapped to Mega Man once you're done with those, just some wicking changes after a recent split.
