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.

Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male:

In the Bleak Midwinter (potentially moving to In the Bleak Midwinter (TheLoud)) has an entry that could be copied in:

When Hermione refers to Merope's actions as rape, Tom struggles to reconcile that in his head, since the idea of a woman being able to rape a man is foreign to his thinking (especially living in the 1920s). After considering it, however, he realises that Hermione is correct, that's exactly what it was.

Lacerating Love Language just launched and had NRLEP added during TLP, so it needs to be added to NoRealLife.Tropes L To O.

Reason: Too closely related to abuse, potential to attract gossip

Requesting removal of Cameo wicks on Characters.You Can Play This and WebVideo.You Can Play This for TRS purposes, as neither wick fits any of The Cameo's subtropes.

Requesting a potholing change in Monster.Anime And Manga O To Z.

In the first example under SPY×FAMILY, the phrase "Inusan Crisis Arc" should be potholed to Recap.Spy X Family Inusan Crisis Arc. Reason: page launched under a different title. Thus, the whole example should be changed to the following:

Mostly done to here, but I think cameo needs to become a definition-only page - it's a bit too obscure and uncommon for us to assume that people instantly get it. Probably better holding off on removing links altogether until that is sorted.

Do you mean The Cameo? Because Cameo only has 6 Related wicks : 1 Archive, 1 Disambig Index, Administrivia, Sandbox, and those 2 Others.

I just launched Absurd Brand Name. It includes things which aren't strictly brands, but often use their name to sell themselves, such as charities or political causes.

Could Absurd Cause Name be made a redirect?

Boiling Point:

''Boiling Point'' may refer to:

* [[Film/BoilingPoint1990 A 1990 film]].
* [[Film/BoilingPoint1993 A 1993 film]].
* [[Film/BoilingPoint2021 A 2021 film which started as a 2019 short]].
* ''Series.RamsaysBoilingPoint''.
* ''VideoGame.BoilingPointRoadToHell''.

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

Then someone just needs to redirect Film.Boiling Point there.

Not sure if this is the right place to bring it up, but I was looking though my old ATT threads when I found a thread about FamousLastWords.X1999, which was incorrectly cut as pointed out here. Could that page be restored?

Mostly done to here, including the cameo thing but sans the archive thing. The undeletion request needs admin input and should be put to the cutlist or moderation threads.

On Black Lives Matter Movement:

1. Please fix the indentation on the Nostalgia Critic example so it looks like this:

2. On the South Park example, please change "...shooting Token for practically no reason..." to "...shooting Tolkien for practically no reason..." as the spelling of the character's name was given an Orwellian Retcon. The other instance of "Token" can stay as I don't think that was retconned.
