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.

On the page of Impossible in Real Life, please change "Our Vampires Are Different - Again, vampires aren't real." to "Our Vampires Are Different - Vampires aren't real."

I just made an edit to Sandbox.Monster Disney to fix a redirect. It should be carried over to Monster.Disney.

I also made an edit to Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard Animated Films, also to fix a redirect, which should be carried over to MagnificentBastard.Animated Films.

Please swap Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard Other Media and MagnificentBastard.Other Media, there's been an indentation adjustment to a recently added example note .

Thanks in advance.

Are you afraid?

In addition to W's request, please swap Sandbox.Monster Film T To Z and Monster.Film T To Z due to some updated links.

Is is worth locking WMG.The Amazing Spider Man 2022?

There's just been a major Content Leak regarding a shock character death. I've just reverted one change (and sent Zarius a notifier), but given the attention this is getting on our forums and wider social media, I expect to see more until the issue is officially released.

WMG based on leaks isn't exactly WMG...

It’s just one edit so far, so leave a note saying not to put leaked content on the wiki for now.

For Complete Monster: Live-Action Films:

Axel: I heard there was a little unfortunate incident on the highway.
James Silva: A little incident?
Axel: I would really hate for it to happen again.
Silva: Are you threatening me?
Axel: We can do this however you wanna do it.
Silva: You gonna keep coming at me until you kill us all?
Axel: Yeah.
Silva: That's a weird fucking game, but okay, I'll play. I mean, you have home court advantage. You have a larger team, unlimited resources due to the support of a phenomenally corrupt government willing to kill innocent citizens. Plus, a local special forces which we designed and trained and built for you. And let's not forget about your absolutely medieval moral compass and nasty thirst for bloodshed for which there has been no legal repercussion because you do not operate under any rule of law. You're Chaos.
Axel: That's right, Jimmy.

I would like LCD to be added to Pages Needing Wiki Magic because it's low on wicks and examples, and the description may or may not need to be expanded.

^Administrivia.Pages Needing Wiki Magic is under cleanup and we are putting everything that can fit in a sub-index on those respective indexes.

You can file that work under Pages Needing A Better Description and Works Needing Tropes.

Done to here otherwise.
