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.

There's a pothole to The Lost Woods on UsefulNotes.Other Russian Towns And Cities that needs cutting, since TRS decided that the trope in question should refer strictly to video game forest levels.

Please add this to The Fundamentalist page under the Live-Action Film folder.

  • The Fundamentalist: One guy in the youth group from First Reformed is a conservative Christian who sneers at the mention of the poor and goes on a tirade about Muslims and prayer in schools. Reverend Toller and one of his colleagues than have a discussion about young Christian "Jihadists" in general, which only pushes Toller further to despair.

Literature.Elemental to Literature.TheElementalsSeries because the author's site calls it that. 2 wicks, no subpages, slightly hard to summarize history. And not to clash with ComicBook.Elementals.

Btw, so glad she used the plural. [lol]


Webcomic.Puppeteer to Webcomic.Puppeteer2018 because it seems to have started in that year. All subpages are for the Video Game. Only 2 wicks.

The pic on Mary Sue had to be removed by request of the artist. The IP tag needs to be updated to reflect that.

[up][up] It appears to primarily be The Elemental Series, singular.

Done, except for ^^^. We just told you not to request moves here until you are finished with your backlog. Requesting moves for those with only a few wicks reads like you are trying to skirt that.

[up][up] - Well then there's problems since the last link I made was someone using The Elemental Series.


[up] - Wanted something short I could do on mobile to break up the monotony of working with one work the whole time, but ok.

I gotta split VideoGame.Journey over the known 3 anyway.

Journey:

''Journey'' may refer to:

* [[Music/JourneyBand The band.]]
* [[Literature/Journey2014 A 2014 story.]]
* [[VideoGame/Journey1983 A 1983 arcade game.]]
* [[VideoGame/Journey1989 A 1989 video game.]]
* [[VideoGame/Journey2012 A 2012 video game.]]

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

Thanks yet again! Only 17 2 mystery wicks left of Film.No Way Out, so:

Next 5!

Film.NoEscape to Film.NoEscape2015 because Film.No Escape 1994 exists. And then I gotta turn Film.No Escape into a disambig after that move.

Film.ThePublicEnemy to Film.ThePublicEnemy1931 since Wrestling.The Public Enemy Tag Team exists.

Film.Warlock to Film.Warlock1991

ComicBook.Warlock to ComicBook.Warlock1967

Literature.Warlock to Literature.WarlockSeries

Didn't we just tell you not to request page moves until your backlog is done?

Eh? What am I missing? And those last two wicks would require deep research to figure out.

Depending if we want to use the North American release year, which is the current one, or the earliest, then maybe:

Film.Warlock1991 to Film.Warlock1989

The locked page Reds with Rockets has a few accidental red links.

Please neutralize all instances of the following with the brackets+equal sign code: "AKs", "BMPs", "MANPATs", "L7A3", "M1A1".

Thanks in advance.

Working on these now.

~MaLady - In the future, please research these moves thoroughly beforehand so we don't have to move the pages again because a mistake was made.

#29648: Jul 25th 2022 at 9:19:58 AM

Yeah, I repeatedly noticed the "Was released outside North America in 1989", but it didn't hit me as something of note until then.

Thanks for doing the Subpages. I would've done those myself otherwise! Sorry about all that work!

...

Fanfic.CultureShock to Fanfic.CultureShockRuskbyte to differentiate it from the Webcomic.

Oh, it's only one edit. I'll do that.
