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.

Yes, but if Troper Tales aren't allowed anymore, is there any legitimate reason to keep the page at all? Besides, if we cut and lock the Troper Tales page, we could have its current content ("Troper Tales — A.K.A. personal anecdotes from the lives of our contributors — was found to be unmanageable and has been permanently removed from the wiki.") as the reason for its adding to the PRLC.

in the process of crosswicking WebVideo.The Final Minutes and requesting to add this example to Paedo Hunt, under Web Video:

I've noticed that Horrible.WikiSandbox has been cut and permanently locked up but doesn't actually have a mention on the Permanent Red Link Club page. Might be worth putting it in the list of permanently cut Horrible subpages to clarify that it's not being reinstated!

For Mario Kart 8:

Lo and behold, by Wave 6, all 5 ended up in the game. Wiggler and Peachette on the other hand, not so much.

Done to here. Horrible.Wiki Sandbox was locked as a test, I believe. It's not necessary to list it. Troper Tales does not need to become a redlink; it's not the page itself or links to it that are a problem, but examples of Troper Tales. ~crsamue, you need to write out what you want changed.

Meant to do this several weeks ago, but please add the following to Administrivia.Complete Monster under "Definitely a CM"

  • Monster: Johan Liebert (Tenma and Nina being willing to forgive him is only a sign of their strong moral character, he shows no genuine care for his sister, and though the manga shows he has the potential to do good, he actively chooses to reject it at every turn.)

Thanks!

Hey so I was wondering if I could make some edits to this writeup.

  • "WHY DID I SAY OKIE DOKI?": Monika, lacking any of her canonical redeeming traits and Heel Realization, is the seemingly-friendly leader of the Literature Club. Having somehow gained powers to break the fourth wall and alter reality, Monika becomes obsessed with the newest member, a close friend of Sayori's. In order to ensure the Protagonist is hers, Monika Mind Rapes Sayori to make her kill herself before erasing her from existence, ensuring that the Protagonist leads a lonely life before the Literature Club. Monika then uses her powers to break Natsuki and Yuri, driving the former to be more hostile and the latter to self-harm and eventually commit suicide as well before erasing them from existence. Monika then captures not just the Protagonist, but The Stupendium themself to be her prisoner for all time.

I just feel as though some of the grammar is a bit clunky and could use some cleaning up. Here's the edited writeup I had in mind.

Having somehow gained the power to break the fourth wall and alter reality, Monika becomes obsessed with the club's newest member, a close friend of Sayori's. In order to ensure the Protagonist is hers, Monika Mind Rapes Sayori to the point of making her kill herself before erasing her from existence, ensuring that the Protagonist leads a lonely life before the Literature Club within the next timeline. Monika then proceeds to use her powers to break Natsuki and Yuri, driving the former into being more hostile and the latter to self-harm and eventually taking her own life before erasing them both from existence. Monika then captures not just the Protagonist, but The Stupendium themselves, forcing them to be her prisoner and lover, for the rest of time.

Done to here, save for Splonk's request that doesn't give a page where it's supposed to happen.

[up] Nothing. If a Troper wants to see the reason why a trope is NRLEP, then they should just check the respective NRLEP page listed in the index and click the labelnote for the reason.

Doing the Complete Monster edits/swaps. The discussion about the NRLEP subpages isn't on-topic here.

Please also swap Monster Fan Works for Fan Works. There were some links that needed updating.

EDIT: And please re-swap Monster Visual Novels for Visual Novels. I had to make small change.

Clicking on a lock would bring up Locked Pages that tells the reason.

I see. It says "Unilateral splits and rearrangements." So one user can lead to a permanent page lock? Seems excessive.

They were locked after pages were unilaterally split off four separate times, not just once.

That said, there’s been a recent push to unlock them again. The CSP thread was hoping to sandbox the pages and look them over but I don’t know if that ended up happening.
