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. 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.
  9. 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.

At Indiana Jones, please cut Helmut von Mephisto.

Please remove the Of Gold and Iron quote from the fanworks section of Complete Monster, since it's the page quote for A Song of Ice and Fire Fan Works.

Did the Quran and ^ edits; the others should probably be sandboxed.

Please swap Monster Video Games G To K for Video Games: G to K to take care of [up][up]

EDIT: We'll have to discuss the quotes at the other thread, but as for the Indiana Jones thing...I removed it from the Indy sandbox, but we're currently having a discussion about the Sandbox formatting, so I don't wanna do a complete swap yet.

Media example for UsefulNotes.Soviet Invasion Of Afghanistan:

  • Sabaton's song "Hill 3234" describes the 1988 battle for the eponymous hill in Paktia Province between 39 Soviet VDV paratroopers and several hundred mujaheddin and Pakistani mercenaries commanded by Jalaluddin Haqqani.

[up][up] Done. Recreated the old page as a redirect to the new one for now, as there are a lot of wicks that will need to be updated to point to the new page.

As part of the cleanup regarding Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment wicks, I would like to request an edit to remove the commented-out ROCEJ wick on the Internet Counterattack page (and possibly also the Examples Are Not Recent wick on the same line) - as I've queried before, commented-out ROCEJ wicks only serve to pad the Related Page count unnecessarily, and can't be clicked by virtue of being only visible in the page source.

I'm sorry to have to bring this up again, but it's still not done. So: On the RWBY Nightmare Fuel page, under the Volume 9 folder, please add: A Cat Most Curious The Herbalist blows smoke at Team RWBY, made from leaves from the Tree. It immediately fills the screen and the CGI looks... off compared to the rest of the animation. They are then confronted with doppelgangers of their past selves, who confront them about their failures. Everyone resists the hallucinations' taunts... except Ruby. She is left kneeling before her past self, who verbally tears Ruby apart with her standard perk and enthusiasm. Past-Ruby points out that everyone depends on Ruby for everything and she is now forced to battle an invincible foe that took Summer, and Ruby barely raises any objection. When Past-Ruby offers her the chance to become something else, Ruby almost accepts the vague deal until the Cat intervenes. Ruby's perky optimism was once portrayed as endearing and positive, but seeing it alongside the despondent person she's now become instead portrays it in a sinister, subversive and threatening light, making it clear that the deal she's offering is nothing good.

Tiiiick tock... goes the clock... and all the years....

The chronological order takes place between "A Place of Particular Concern" and "Tea Amongst Terrible Trouble". Also, it should be a bullet point.

Please add these to Quotes.Magnificent Bastard

"There's nothing better in life than the look on your enemy's face when they realize you've played them every step of the way. Why do you think I keep starting secret cabals trying to overthrow me?"
Dread Emperor Traitorous, A Practical Guide to Evil

"Ah, but every palace you destroy has to be rebuilt! You've single-handedly pulled the Empire out of a slump, hahaha. Once again sweet victory is mine."
Dread Emperor Irritant, A Practical Guide to Evil

"Oh, woe is me, you've destroyed my army... Hahaha, you fell for it again! I haven't paid them in a year, they were about to depose me. Once more, Irritant triumphs against all odds!"
Dread Emperor Irritant, A Practical Guide to Evil

And this to Quotes.Complete Monster:

"You say you came to us to learn. Very well. We'll teach you. Teach you that it isn't the sex, isn't the power, isn't the cruelty. We are soldiers of darkness, Phillip, gladiators, warriors and gods. And we'll teach you. The Good Doctor likes to skin people alive. Nimrod is a hunter; he can bone, gut and joint any animal in minutes. For myself, I have a penchant for eyes. And you know what we're going to do now, Phillip? We're going to take turns."

Some of the tropes on the current NREP crowner have now been called, so we have some updates for the No Recent Examples, Please! page.

In the "Pages with a mandatory waiting period:" section, in the usual alphabetical order, please add:


Also... Can we swap Critic-Proof out for this version - no changes to the NREP rule, just conscious it's the only item in the list that doesn't use numerals for times etc.

  • Critic-Proof (1 month after release, 1 month after end of season for episodic works, 4 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!

I've worked on an expansion to the following page:

Storybro's Magically Lewd Sleepover Adventure

The work in question has two sequels. I've covered them in a new page with a revised title:

Storybro's Magically Lewd Adventures

This work is listed on the page for 4chan. If there's no issue with it, I'm asking that the wick be changed from the old page to the new one.
