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.

Please rename Video Game/Sonic 3 and Knuckles to Video Game/Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

The reason is: Consistency with the other articles.

Which articles are they? And Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is only the half of Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

Not changing that one per what Amonimus said, and the requester was a ban evader anyway.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

As per this page, I was wondering if there could be a redirect made for Rewatch Bonus, called "Re-Read Bonus". I'm surprised it hasn't been made sooner like for certain tropes, since I do see the page for that trope has folders for Literature and Fan Works (which can include fanfics), so I figured I'd ask since I think it should work.

Is it possible to unlock the page for Creator/Rob Liefeld? I have been editing the ZCE examples on many pages, and I saw that his page does fall into the ZCE "pit".

As proof of intent, I declare I'm no fan, nor hater of his; I only intend to add to the comic book tropes on his page.


Well, if not unlocked, at least add an example to his page.
  • Guns Akimbo: As a comic book artist, in many action scenes he drew, there is always one dual-wielding character either firing one gun or both at the same time.
  • Nineties Antihero: His output as a creator included characters developed during the early 90s that fit the mold of non-classical, Silver Age heroes.

VideoGame.Shadow Hearts has been split into game-specific pages. Could you please move its reviews to corresponding pages?

There are four reviews on VideoGame.Shadow Hearts; the one titled "Koudelka" should be moved to VideoGame.Koudelka; "Shadow Hearts" to VideoGame.Shadow Hearts 1 ; "Shadow Hearts: Covenant" to VideoGame.Shadow Hearts Covenant; and "Shadow Hearts: From the New World" to VideoGame.Shadow Hearts From The New World . Thanks!

The entry about the Titanic on ConspiracyTheories.Zero To G mistakenly lists the SS Californian as the California — could someone fix this? Thank you!

I didn't do the Reread Bonus redirect request because people can find the Rewatch Bonus trope just fine with the search engine. As for the Rob Liefeld unlock request, I asked the other mods about it.

Done to here otherwise.

On the Compensated Dating Megatokyo example, I'd like to pothole the page link under the words "claims to a third party".

[up][up] - Missed from previous page?

Erotic Game redirect to H-Game.


VideoGame.LuckyRabbitReflex to VisualNovel.LuckyRabbitReflex since that medium seems more accurate?

^!Not sure about that redirect H-Game appears to be Japanese specific.

Did everything else.

[up][up]The "H" in H-Game refers to hentai specifically, not erotica in general.

Thanks for the edit, but it seems the 'y' of "third party" vanished in the event.

Edit: Thanks!

Hi Macron, sorry to be a bugbear but there's still an 'n' missing from the end of Californian. The text should properly read like this:

SS Californian

Thanks again!

Sherlock Holmes page, the part about Stapleton. Perhaps it should be added that, as suspected by Holmes, he had committed four burglaries over the past three years, having shot a page boy in cold blood once. And that deserves nothing but an off-handed mention.
