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] It was agreed that that did fit under Memetic Mutation, as people did make memes of it.

[up]Ah, thanks for clarifying. Would it be better to merge it into the other point about the "there is no Queen of England" meme for the sake of reducing redundancy, or is it best to leave it as-is?

Be kind.

Can Kings Guard and/or The Kings Guard be made into redirects to British Royal Guards?

Queens Guard and The Queens Guard are already redirects, but for reasons that should be obvious, they won't be referred to as such anymore.

Please add to the Web Original section of The New '20s, in the appropriate spots alphabetically:

Also move Satina from that section to the Web Animation section.

Edit request: I would like to add Critical Dissonance to YMMV.She Hulk Attorney At Law with this description:

  • On Rotten Tomatoes, the show currently has an 88% score from professional critics, but a 40% score from audience members.

Also from the actual description

Note that both Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic user scores should never be used to evaluate whether something falls under this trope since its voting system is extremely susceptible to manipulation

Please add this entry to YMMV.She Hulk Attorney At Law:

  • Preemptive Shipping: Many fans on Tumblr took to shipping Jen and Matt the moment it was announced he would be appearing in the show, before it even aired. This mainly due to both being superhero lawyers and feeling that their very different personalities would work well together. When the mid-season trailer aired and Jen said that Matt was really "doing it" for her, even more took to shipping them.

Thank you.

On Magnificent Bastard itself, please change

next to the Anime & Manga subpage to

(includes Manhua and Manhwa)

We moved the light novel exampls to the Literature subpage unless they only counted in the anime.

Gratituous Rape:

This Tabletop Games entry: "A common criticism of CthulhuTech is that there's just a teeeeensy bit too much rape in the fluff. At least one of the writers appeared on rpgnet and spent quite some time explaining that there really wasn't that much rape in it given its reputation, but fans will be fans."

"Fans will be fans" seems like an awfully blithe way to comment considering that these reviews of the supplements point out there's an awful lot of skeevy, dubious-consent business going on even if the r-word isn't explicitly used:

Hello!

I'd like to offer a link to an article on Verne Gagne and the American Wrestling Association on the Fallen Creator page, that I feel helps chronicle its fall: https://411mania.com/wrestling/shining-a-spotlight-12-01-06-the-rise-fall-and-legacy-of-the-awa/

When I tried to access the blog on the CBR Community forum by clicking on the link given, the page it led to simply read: "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator."

I want to add an example for Rape Discretion Shot:

  • In the anime adaptation of Future Diary, the camera focuses on a discarded cellphone on the floor. But you can still hear the muffled whimpering of Ai Mikami as she is being gang-raped in the background.

There's so much I wish I could take back.
