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.

The reviews at https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/reviews.php?target_group=FanficRecs&target_title=Abuse%20Cycle should go to FanFic.Abuse Cycle

Stories don't tell us monsters exist; we knew that already. They show us that monsters can be trademarked and milked for years.

Characters.Spider Man Spider Verse The Spot has a few issues related to formatting and grammar. Can someone make the following edits to the following three tropes?

  • Adaptational Badass: Usually, the Spot is pretty incompetent, even with his surprisingly powerful ability. Here, he's hyped as Miles's "most formidable foe yet". In fact, the entirety of Across The Spider-Verse is him averting the whole Villain Forgot to Level Grind hard and becoming the single most dangerous entity in the entire multiverse threatening to unmake everything with his multi-dimensional powers.
  • Playing the Victim Card: While robbing a bodega's ATM, once the owner catches on and attacks him with a bat, Spot panickily babbles various reasons that he ought to be allowed to get away with it, including that he's not robbing the store but the banks and because "they're the real criminals!" trying to stop him makes you the bad guy, or declaring that he's "like Robin Hood if he gave to himself!". The owner is unimpressed.
    Owner: You're the real criminal! You're robbing me!
  • Power Echoes: After absorbing the energy from the Supercollider to reach his maximum potential, the Spot gains an otherworldly reverb to his voice that further implies how just monstrous he's become by becoming a full-fledged Cosmic Flaw.

Done except for the PRLC thing; that crowner shouldn't be citing Horrible.Fan Fic as a precedent since it was an unique (and IMO questionable) case.

In UsefulNotes.Kievan Rus, please change Literature.Eaters Of The Dead to Literature.The Thirteenth Warrior.

I also made an edit to Sandbox.Fallen Creator changing Film.The13th Warrior to Film.The Thirteenth Warrior. Please transfer it to DarthWiki.Fallen Creator.

The Fundamentalist page. The first example in the Video Games folder needs some edits due to problems with grammar and clarity. To be precise, the first, second, and fifth sentences should be replaced with the following:

1) Any faction with a high level of a certain affinity can easily be classified as this.

2) At the same time, all affinities go a long way before becoming central to the philosophical visions of the factions.

3) Initially, each of these affinities is a set of values and practices that helped civilization survive in the early days.

Thanks!

On Hollywood Tactics, there's a green link to Fire Emblem Tellius. Can someone change it to point to Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn?

On MagnificentBastard.Film J To Y, Darryl Revok's entry (for Scanners) has a few accidental wicks to Con Sec, which is a redlink. Please change all the "Con Sec" wicks to "[=ConSec=]".

For DarthWiki.Fallen Creator remove the phrase ", with another trial pending" from the R Kelly example.

Speaking of DarthWiki.Fallen Creator

Could you please remove Face Of The Band from this section? As the trope is now a disambig.

This can sometimes be caused by a combination of Mis-blamed and hubris. The original good productions were a team effort, but one guy took all the credit and was recognized as the sole genius behind the work. When the team breaks up and the sole spotlight hog sets out on his own, people quickly realize he's nothing without his team when he suddenly gets a string of failures. See also Protection from Editors.

Please replace the pothole in "the sole genius behind the work" with I Am the Band.

Against All Odds:

''Against All Odds'' may refer to:

* ''Film/AgainstAllOdds1984'', a film.
* Fanfics:
** ''Fanfic/AgainstAllOddsAgronom''
** ''Fanfic/AgainstAllOddsMidnightC''
* ''Literature/AgainstAllOdds2008'', an alternate history.

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

The 1984 film is because Film/AgainstAllOdds has 9 wicks.

The Midnight C fanfic because there's this review. Going to ask for it to be moved once the disambig is made.

Twiddler, for Web Animation, PALADIN was in all caps because that's how the work itself had it.

[up] That's what custom titles are for. The work title in the URL shouldn't be in all caps unless it's an acronym/initialism (e.g. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.). See the first section of How to Create a Work Page. (If you have any further questions about the policy, please take it to Wiki Talk — alternatively Ask The Tropers if it's a quick question)
