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. The Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard tropes aren't currently adding or removing examples. Wick changes and other minor corrections to the locked trope pages can be made via this thread, but more significant changes will be declined.
  9. 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.

For YMMV.Fifty Shades of Grey, the following example should be changed to below and moved from Alternative Character Interpretation to...

  • Diagnosed by the Audience: Some readers have diagnosed Christian with certain personality disorders, but Narcissistic Personality Disorder is by far the most common. Symptoms of NPD that Christian displays include:
    • Disregarding the feelings and wants of others
    • A willingness to manipulate or coerce others to get what they want
    • A sense of entitlement and strong desire for attention and admiration
    • Expecting special favors or complete compliance with their demands
    • Belittling or avoiding people they see as beneath them
    • Insisting on having the best of everything
    • Displaying an arrogant, aloof and haughty attitude

Don't wanna do the Sandbox thing, but at Resident Evil, for Saddler, please replace the current pothole around "the Las Plagas parasites" with Resident Evil Monsters Part 2

Please restore SNKBoss.Other Games. It was cut with the reason "Fighting game exclusive trope, examples should be at (and mostly already are or are misuse anyway) at That One Boss." but the description of SNK Boss explicitly says it's not exclusive to fighting games:

While this trope primarily applies to fighting games, it can also apply to non-fighting games, provided they are similarly competitive and have similar ways of ensuring Competitive Balance. A Racing Game, for example, may have a champion with an absurdly tricked out car and a knowledge of the track that combine to give it an advantage no matter which vehicle/racer you choose.

[down]Even if that's the case, the subpage was still cut after that.

Requesting the removal of the Cry Cute link from Characters.Final Fantasy VII Playable Characters — as written, it does not fit the tropes on the disambiguation.

Amazon's The Rings of Power is the target of an astroturfing campaign of review bombing. The YMMV page for it currently repeats a bunch of the astroturf talking points uncritically (such as listing a bunch of their slogans under "memetic mutation" and describing them as "a common saying among the fandom" rather than a common saying of a small but vocal group of trolls, and using "the trailer got 1.5 million dislikes" as evidence that a lot of Tolkien fans hate the show when it's clearly the result of manipulation.)

The trolls are also deleting any contrary opinions posted to the YMMV page: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/article_history.php?article=YMMV.TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower

For example a user deleted this:

"** The series developed an instant, violent backlash by default on account of casting non-white actors for white roles. The first trailers featuring black elves and hobbits instantly led to openly racist brigades of internet trolls to rage against the series in what has been called one of the most extreme cases of toxic fandom, with the cast receiving death threats in social media."

Which is AT LEAST as plausible as the talking points that are left on the page, and should be left there as a counterpoint to them.

I call for the deleted material to be restored, and then the YMMV page locked .

Done to here, save for the page moves (takes a bit of time) and the SNK Boss thing (need to sort out whether the examples fit).

OK, did the moves, but with some you need to go hunt for now-stranded reviews.

For Pokémon Scarlet and Violet:

  • Fan Nickname: Once Paldean Wooper was revealed, fans often referred to it as "Pooper", due to its primarily brown colour scheme and Poison/Ground typing.

Done to here, but on the Millennium Series request I want to double-check whether the link to the franchise-wide page or to a novel-specific redirect are preferred. We do not generally need to shift links solely because the latter's a redirect, in these cases.

For Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male

  • In Empath: The Luckiest Smurf story "The Other Smurfette", Hogatha as a female Smurf named Wonderette takes Empath out on a moonlit walk where they go to a private place and just kiss, but Empath realizes that Wonderette wants to have sex with him and refuses to go along with it. Wonderette uses her magic powers to strip Empath of his clothes and have him lie naked and spread-eagled on the ground so that she can mount him and rape him. Later, to cover her tracks, Wonderette has Empath accused of raping her instead so that he would be vilified. This was played for drama.
