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
.
- 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.
- 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 Gor, please delete the California Doubling entry, since that's trivia and it's already listed on the work's trivia page.
Please add Fake Alibi to Too Controversial. It was NRLEP'd in the TPL.
Done to here. I've asked in the moderator forum about the Quotes.Complete Monster thing.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanPlease replace the current quote in Monster.Marvel Cinematic Universe with this.
Change was determined here
Just launched a new index. Needing it added to The New '20s if that is alright.

~Kahibalo has pointed out that one of the entries in the Administrivia.The Content Policy lists isn't in alphabetical order. Can we fix it?
Under "Pages Appealed and restored", please move Bara Genre from the very end of the list to just before Bliss Stage.
Thanks!
Please move this review
for WesternAnimation.Despicable Me to WesternAnimation.Despicable Me 2 (since it's ultimately about that film instead).
~Tropers/Zerukin Are all the works listed under the Web Animation section on The New '20s on that index?
Done to here otherwise.
Macron's notesVideoGame.ThePedestrian to VideoGame.ThePedestrian2017? Since that's when the Kickstarter completed?
Film.ThePedestrian to Film.ThePedestrian1978
And then Laconic and Trivia to split manually.
Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576
Went with VideoGame.The Pedestrian 2020 (for year disambigs, we use release date) and Film.The Pedestrian 1973 (that's the release date; looks like you misread)
Done to here. Wicks will need to be updated.
Please swap the following at your earliest convenience.
- Magnificent Bastard Anime And Manga to Anime & Manga
- Magnificent Bastard Film A To I to Film A To I
- Magnificent Bastard Literature to Literature
- Magnificent Bastard Live Action TV to Live-Action TV
- Magnificent Bastard Marvel Animation to Marvel Animation
- Magnificent Bastard Spider Man to Spider-Man
- Magnificent Bastard Star Wars to Star Wars
- Magnificent Bastard Video Games M To Z to Video Games (M to Z)
- Magnificent Bastard Western Animation to Western Animation
- Magnificent Bastard Web Original to Web Original
Thanks in advance
On The Bible, there's a wick to Tear Jerker on one of the Dying Moment of Awesome pages that needs to be removed, since the former is YMMV.
So where it says:
Please change it to:
Was the lock request for Super Mario Bros. Wonder from a couple of days ago overlooked, or was the page deemed not problematic?
Incorrect listing needs to be deleted.
"Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization has a listing for Flowers in the Attic. This is factually incorrect. That event falls under Questionable Consent but it is not "Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization. Evidence for this
- Cathy later says of it, "And it wasn't any pleasure, God, not really, not any."
- In the sequel there's this Refuge in Audacity, Crosses the Line Twice moment where Chris asks to have sex again by offering to get her off this time — "Let me just once give you the pleasure I didn't before."
Mostly done to here - if the videogame page stabilized, we can go without a lock.
Also, way back on Quotes.Complete Monster - none of the moderators can remember that that page was ever exempted from the sandboxing requirement. And the reasons for sandboxing still apply. So we need a sandbox to swap.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanFollowing on from the latest NREP crowner
:
Can we add this into the alphabetical "Pages with a mandatory waiting period" section of No Recent Examples, Please!:
- Critic-Proof (One month after release, one month after end of season for episodic works, four months after release for episodic works without seasons): to avoid knee-jerk reactions and allow time for reviews to impact the work's reception.
Thanks!
Could someone please create a redirect for Good Stepfather to Good Stepmother?
Seven colors in the rainbow. Seven letters in the word "rainbow". Coincidence? I think not.^^^Done
^^ Done. I also created a Good Stepparent while at it.
^ We don't do plural/singular redirects per Creating New Redirects. You can use | to make Treants singular like this: {{Treant|s}} will display as Treant.

Macron's notesOn The Bible, please add an [[invoked]] tag to the Lost in Translation entry, since there's a Word of God wick inside.

@Septimus: From the Complete Monster Cleanup thread
header:
What does not go through this thread?
- Proposals for images, quotes, and videos of already-approved CMs - quotes and image links are proposed here
, while videos are proposed here
. If you would like a second opinion on the potential quote/image/video, you can feel free to send it through this thread to gauge people's opinions, but nothing on this thread is binding.

Yeah, last i checked we don't have a quotes sandbox for cm anymore, hence why I brought it here
HAPPY HALLOWEEN FOR MARIA
