Locked Pages: Lock, Un Lock and Edit requests

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:

Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
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.
We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here.
If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
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.
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.
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.

From Administrivia.Permanent Red Link Club:

Sandbox.Obscurity Pages 1 and Sandbox.Obscurity Pages 2: Both pages were created to circumvent the decision to cut the Sliding Scale of [medium] Obscurity pages.
Namespace.Title: Incorrect page creation that kept being recreated.

And yet both Sandbox.Obscurity Pages 2 and Namespace.Title are currently unlocked, meaning someone could recreate both pages at any time. I request they are both locked so that this doesn't happen.

Also from Administrivia.Permanent Red Link Club, there are four commented out notes talking about when pages were last cleaned. These notes serve no purpose and are completely pointless in this day and age, so I request they be removed.

On Fallen Creator, please get rid of the "Wiki Quote" wick on John Byrne's entry. So instead of:

... see his Wiki Quote entry

Please change it to:

... see his Wikiquote entry

Endless Mode redirect to Endless Game or just fix the two wicks?

so MagnificentBastard.Film J To Y has a pothole to Those Two Bad Guys on it, which is a disambig.

The example had it potholed initially and was added on 2/23 by Macron[1].
On 3/27 it was removed by Septimus [2].
And on 4/1 it was readded by Macron [3].

All of the above was done by request, of course. Given that it's a disambig and those aren't supposed to be linked to pages, I was going to ask for it to be removed, but seeing this back and forth has me wondering: is this a noted exception? If so, can that be explained in a comment on the page for future reference?

I'm guessing that someone requested its removal but forgot to remove it from the corresponding sandbox, so it inadvertently got added back on the next swap. I've removed it from both pages this time.

I have made a few edits to the Magnificent Bastard Star Wars sandbox (deleting an extra bullet point and moving two characters who only appear in the comic version of Shadows of the Empire into the Legends comic section). Can you swap Star Wars with the sandbox?

By Any Other Name: - Literature has two works now.

''By Any Other Name'' may refer to:

* The tropes that end in that:
** AMechByAnyOtherName
** ANaziByAnyOtherName
** DiseaseByAnyOtherName
** HumanByAnyOtherName
** MagicByAnyOtherName
* [[Fanfic/ByAnyOtherName2020 The fanfic]].
* [[Literature/ByAnyOtherName2013 The 2013 novel]].
* [[Literature/ByAnyOtherName2022 The 2022 novel]].

If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.
----

Or just make a Literature disambig instead of redirecting it to Main.

Don't wanna create temporary Sandboxes, but some rewrites:

For The Closer:

"Help Wanted": Joe Meyers is an ICE agent who uses his position for truly horrifying purposes. Having eliminated his wife from the picture years ago, Meyers uses his own son—who he regularly abuses—to find nannies and babysitters in the area who are illegal immigrants. Meyers then attacks, tortures, and rapes the women, using the threat of deportation out of America to keep them silent. When his latest victim turns out to be in the country completely legally, Meyers beats her to death and begins rounding up every last woman he has ever assaulted, hoping to either deport them or kill them to ensure the police don't find them. When the Major Crimes division tracks him down, Meyers uses one of his victims as a hostage and attempts to kill her out of spite.

At Criminal Minds, for Boyd, please change the Killer Cop pothole to Oppressive Immigration Enforcement.

Per the quotes thread, could all three quotes be removed from UsefulNotes.Afghanistan? "They're nothing but middle fingers to ROCEJ anyway" was cited as the reason, and Twiddler agrees with their removal. None of the quotes are particularly kind.

Latest batch of NRLEP:

MORALITY:

SEX:

Fanservice Model

NARRATIVE/CHARACTERIZATION:

IMPOSSIBLE:

TOO COMMON:

GOSSIP AND STEREOTYPES:

KEEP REAL LIFE EXAMPLES:

Overly Long Gag

I also think it is a good idea to un-pothole the tropes on the Keep Real Life Examples page that were later NRLEP'd. Leave them, so that it's recorded that they were once KRLE'd, but by un-potholing them they're no longer both listed on KRLE and NRLEP. These tropes are, in order of appearance, Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking, N-Word Privileges, Would Hit a Girl, Sir Swears-a-Lot, Body Horror, Black and Nerdy, Asian and Nerdy, Mistaken for Pedophile, and The Rich Want to Be Richer.

On Fallen Creator, there's a wick in Blake Edwards' entry for Ten that needs to be changed to 10 (1979).

So, where it says:

... (especially Ten and Victor/Victoria)...

Please change it too:

Mostly done to here, save for the depotholing on Keep Real Life Examples and also I think I need a crowner link for the addition?

The recent edit to Fallen Creator incorrectly formatted the wick for 10 (1979).

Right now, it's Film/{{Ten1979}}, when it should be formatted as [[Film/Ten1979 10]]. Please change it to the latter.

Could someone add this quote from Ganondorf in Tears of the Kingdom to the Complete Monster Video Game Quotes page? It was approved in the proposal thread.

"Rise... rise, my servants! Sweep over Hyrule with the power I have granted you. Eliminate this kingdom and her allies. LEAVE NO SURVIVORS!!!"

— Demon King Ganondorf in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
