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 My Immortal, the last couple of sentences of Present-Day Past entry should be cut:

Additionally, Twilight is conspicuous by its absence. If the fic were written now, the author would have endlessly reminded us whether she considers Twilight a "goff" thing or a "poser" thing.

This entry was obviously written back when Twilight was still popular and (ironically itself) makes the entry look very outdated by bringing it up. The entry works fine without them, since it doesn't really add to the trope itself (which is about using contemporary culture in a work that's set in the past).

Monster.Nasuverse has a bit of a Inconsistent Translation: The official romanization as detailed in the materials in regards towards the virus in LB 6 is called Moss, yet in the English localization, it's called Mors (incidentally, the same name used in fan translations). Which one should the page use?

I ran this quote through the Magnificent Bastard proposal thread and it was given a positive response so could someone please add it to Quotes.Magnificent Bastard? Under the Video Game section.

"The sorrows of this world are without number. Study your heart and know this to be true. Incessant war. Suffering. And man turns a blind eye to the atrocities created, the blood on their hands. Even now. The people of this world shall become one through the Holy Body. All nations, religions, creeds. With one will and one God. We shall witness the coming of a paradise free of misfortune. Your hatred. Your grief. Your agony. I can relieve you of those burdens. Like a babe in the womb, the subjects of my kingdom need only drift about in tranquillity. My child, do you still not understand? Why would you rob so many poor souls of their salvation? Why do you oppose me? Have you no compassion?"
Osmund Saddler, Resident Evil 4 (Remake)

Oh, Mr. Kennedy, you entertain me. To show my appreciation, I will help you awaken from your world of clichés.

RE ~Siegfried 1337 That needs to be worked out in another thread, not here. We need clear instructions for edit requests.

RE ~Tropers/dynamicDiscovery Can you incorporate the changes on the bottom of the folder to the rest of the sandbox. We asked you to make a sandbox so that we can just copy its contents over.

Done to here otherwise

(I posted this on the Useful Notes cleanup page, but this is the correct place for it, sorry!)

The Autism page capitalizes autism when it should not. Autism is a common noun, not a proper noun. However, the page is under administrative lock and I cannot edit it on my own. There are also grammatical errors, specifically "Ninty-five percent of autistic" (should be autistics or autistic people)

On My Immortal, there's a wick for Twilight that needs to be changed to The Twilight Saga, since the former is now a disambiguation page.

So change it from this:

Gonna repost this just in case it got overlooked somehow. From Political Overcorrectness:

  • In an episode of Clifford's Puppy Days the family was on a trip for "Fall Feast" instead of "Thanksgiving".

The trope is In-Universe Examples Only. The entry is describing the trope as if it was Political Overcorrectness out of universe (I very much doubt Clifford's Puppy Days is the kind of show that would intentionally give political commentary about progressive culture). Ergo it's Complaining About Shows You Don't Like and needs to go

Music.Aurora to Music.AuroraSinger since everything else in Main.Aurora is diambig-ed?

Just found out that page exists due to this month's Newsletter. Not sure whether to change the link in tune with the page.

Please lock VideoGame.Persona 3 until the end of the weekend, as a major leak just came out.

Please help editing pages Russia and Tsarist Russia to add links to Nicholas II (In the first link, put him below Ivan the Terrible)

Thank you.
