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.

^ That's an archive; we don't edit those.

The recent edit for The Super Mario Bros. Movie has a spelling error; under Personal Space Invader it says "flys" instead of the correct "flies".

@Macron Notes It really doesn't look like an archive. It even says it "is free to edit the current folders already within". You should add a warning in that page saying it's an archive.

I am not sure how to handle those archive pages as I wasn't a mod when they were locked/archived but I added a warning to Headscratchers.Dragon Age Origins Part II

I was wondering if it would be possible to add the Super Bowl Ad to WesternAnimation.The Super Mario Bros Movie under the previews section?

[up][up] Might be worth moving to the Archive/ namespace, something like Archive.Dragon Age Origins Headscratchers Part II

I propose this for Sonichu and Count Graduon's entry. Edited because it takes two tropes.

Leaking Can of Evil: Even while sealed, he still influences Slaweel and can cast magic, as well as lend it to his minions.

Unseen Evil: Count Graduon is this in the first Season of the series, up until the tenth issue, since all the readers see of him is the scepter he is sealed in, and they just hear his voice.

Thank you smile last request from me today.

Administrivia.Locked Pages contains links to the old Magnificent Bastard cleanup thread (which is morgued). I asked whether they should be updated or removed and the (although few) votes leaned towards removing them.

So I'd like to request to remove every instance of "Cleanup thread is in progress." (in these folders: Image Links, Laconic, Magnificent Bastard, and Quotes)

Hmm, I overlooked that the Main/ folder also links to the morgued thread for Main.Magnificent Bastard itself. I'm not inclined to ask to remove that too since that would leave it without a reason for its lock.

On the other hand, I think that updating only that link to the new cleanup thread would then also be inaccurate since it's not that specific cleanup thread that requested for its lock.

Should I have garnered more discussion for this?

On Characters.The Bible, could the example of Brother Chuck be changed to the following?:

  • Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: The snake vanishes off the face of the earth after tempting Eve to eat the Forbidden Fruit, despite being responsible for mankind receiving knowledge of good and evil, Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the Garden of Eden and subsequently cursed, the existence of death, the existence of the entire human race, and the first evil act ever.

Cave Johnson, we're done here.
