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 Political Overcorrectness page, can you change this entry to get rid of Incredibly Lame Pun? Change this...

To this:
  • A good parody of "preventive groveling" style: Alt Text Luke Surl added to this pun. And another one here.
Just a little sidenote; these links don't seem to work for me. I don't know if it's just me, or if they just don't work anymore.

Did the Complete Monster-related changes. A mass link change from Incredibly Lame Pun to Pun isn't really necessary. The links are broken for me as well.

On Emo Teen, at the end of the table top games section, there's a link to Literature/{{Twilight}} with the text "they sparkle". Please change the link to Literature/TheTwilightSaga, leaving the text intact.

Heyo, got another Administrivia.Complete Monster request for the Resolved Items list. Under "Special Cases", there's an entry for the Joker, and it does a terrible job explaining why the Joker is actually a special case. Please replace it with this:

  • The Joker: Joker's status within DC's "canon" is very nebulous. In essence, his actions are canonized more than his personality is - for instance, The Killing Joke features Joker crippling Barbara Gordon, which has since been made canon, as well as having a redeeming backstory, which has been retconned out. As a result, while Joker may not count within individual arcs due to Depending on the Writer, he counts as a whole within DC's canon, and his actions within those arcs are included in his writeup.

The change has been approved. Thanks!

At Monster.FBI, for "Caesar", please replace the period at "upon discovering their leader and her childhood friend Tyrone "Ty" Jackson wanted to retire" with a comma.

Like so:

…A senior member of the Rolling Sixes gang, [[LadyMacbeth Cleo]], upon discovering their leader and her childhood friend Tyrone "Ty" Jackson wanted to retire, [[ResignationsNotAccepted murdered him for going "soft"]]…

Also, please correct the FBI: International "Pilot" link at Colin Kent's entry, which is currently misspelled.

Subpages seem to have low edit counts, so I think I'll move those manually.

I'm uncertain if NightmareFuel.Gen Lock should be unlocked given how long it's been since the show's conclusion and how much it's fallen into obscurity.

Can someone change the use of the Lightnovel/ namespace on Characters.Sonichu to Literature/? It's in the Other Protagonists folder under Silvana Rosechu

SugarWiki.People Letting All Trope Titles Exist Relishably now redirects to JustForFun.The Archive Of Bellicose Lexicon Entities, thus making the former's listing on Locked Pages redundant. In addition, the former's listing says that the articles are under Wiki Talk review, while the latter's listing says said articles have been discontinued.

I'm probably going to receive a No as an answer, but can there please be a redirect to Made O' Gold called "Made Of Gold"? I have tried to crosswick a couple examples from that trope to work pages, only to realize that the F is missing for some reason (and I admit I'm questioning why the trope is even called "Made O' Gold", without the F, but that's besides the point) and thus I had inadvertently left a red link.
