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.

Requested feedback on [up][up] and [up][up][up]. Done to here otherwise, with some tweaks to the formatting of the Vic Mignogna requests.

~Bleu Star 365 - next time, please include a link in your post to the page you want edited.

[up] See point 9 in the header: "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 […] and ask for it to be swapped in […]"

In this case, the sandbox is Sandbox.Complete Monster Quotes

Hello, I was just wondering if the administrative lock for the Spider-Man: Spider-Verse characters will ever be removed? The reason why they were locked is because of "unilateral splits and rearrangements" which I don't really understand the meaning of. I was just wondering since there are edits I wanted to add and it's been a few months now I think.

If there's an edit you'd like the make, show them here and a mod will do them for you.

Please make Awake a disambig.

''Awake'' may refer to:

* Film/Awake2007, a medical thriller film directed by Joby Harold.
* Series/Awake2012, a cop drama TV series.
* Film/Awake2021, a 2021 Creator/{{Netflix}} sci-fi thriller film directed by Joby Harold.

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

Ok, though I would appreciate it if someone explained what "unilateral splits and rearrangements" meant.

So when Miguel is explaining Canon Events in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, while difficult to see it appears that one is the events of Kraven's Last Hunt which Gwen experienced (it's in the scene where you see an image of Peter B marrying MJ and Spider-Punk quitting as Spidey). So I just want to add that to the relevant pages.

For Spider-Man: Spider-Verse – Gwen Stacy:

For Spider-Man: Spider-Verse – Spider-Society:

  • Being buried alive and forced to crawl out of their graves (to be added under the In Spite of a Nail trope)

[up] "Unlateral splits and rearrangements" refers to Character Specific Pages for Spider-Verse being made to fast/prematurely.

[up][up]They were split with a lot of non character tropes on the page after a lot of people added tropes in excitement without discussing it anywhere.

Requesting to remove the Cloning Blues entries from Baldr Sky as it's been renamed to Clone Angst as per TRS, specifically about angst from a character discovering that they're a clone.

Did some of the additions to Characters.Spider Man Spider Verse Gwen Stacy, but the Nail/Noodle examples do not explain how the trope applies, in a way that people unfamiliar with the work can understand. Not sure where to put the addition in Characters.Spider Man Spider Verse Spider Society. Also got the Baldr Sky thing.

Please make The '80s a redirect to The '80s. Mostly because of the wick and inbounds count.

Septimus Heap, in regards to the Spider-Man: Spider-Verse – Spider-Society edit I meant it should be added under the In Spite of a Nail trope which is in the In General folder.

In regards to In Spite of a Nail while not all Spider-People are the same person, Canon Events are things that can happen to a Spider-Person in different universes, such as failing to save a police captain which apparently every Spider-Person has experienced. The way I look at it, Canon Events are basically In Spite of a Nail with a different name so in the context of the Spider-Verse films, it can be used when it's confirmed In-Universe that a Spider-Person has experienced something several other Spideys have experienced.

In regards to Noodle Incident, from my understanding of the trope a huge explanation isn't necessary. It's when something happened in a character's past that is hinted at but isn't fully explained. The entire point is that there is little context, so I don't see what's wrong with my edit.

But here is a revised edit to In Spite of a Nail:

  • In Spite of a Nail: It turns out that her Canon Event, a significant event in a Spider-Person's life as explained by Miguel in Across the Spider-Verse was being buried alive, just like Spider-Man in Kraven's Last Hunt.

Locked paged: Useful Notes.Israel

Edit request: Within the page, there appears to be a use of {{justified}}, which is a disambiguation now. I would like it to be modified to {{justified|Trope}}.

[up] Also, that page and UsefulNotes.Palestine seem to have been reflexively locked without any problematic edits beforehand to justify it. Are we just expecting the worst a la mass locking every UN page that even looks at Russia funny last year?

On Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male, there's a link to Romantic Sue for the X-Men entry that needs to be removed, since it's a redlink.

So, where it says:

Emma is treated like the victim and Romantic Sue in the resulting love triangle...

Please change it to:

Emma is treated like the victim in the resulting love triangle...

Looks like the 80's thing was already done. For the voice actor thing, which language? For the Spider-Society thing, that explanation needs to be in the example. For the Israel thing, yes, we don't want to risk anything on this topic. Everything else is done to here.

On Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male, there's a wick to Justified on the entry for The Occupation Saga, which is now a disambiguation page. So, instead of "{{Justified}}", please change it to "{{Justified|Trope}}".

A couple of Historical Domain Character examples for UsefulNotes.Adolf Hitler:

Film — Animated:

  • The War to End All Wars – The Movie partly blames Hitler for the end of the Christmas Truce. The segment reprises a sight gag from Yarnhub's earlier animated music video for the song where a German soldier with a toothbrush mustache, clearly meant to be Hitler as a lance corporal, tries to tattle on the truce to the German Army brass only to be hit in the head by an errant ball from the football game in no-man's-land. This time around, his message eventually gets through, and an outraged German general orders the artillery to resume firing at the same time as a British general gets a similar message, forcing everyone to run back for their own trenches.

Music:

  • Sabaton:
    • "The Rise of Evil" is a seven-minute heavy metal ballad about Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1930s, describing him ordering the beginnings of the Holocaust, the Anschluss of Austria, while the nations of Europe slowly realize a new war is coming.
    • Yarnhub's animated music video for "Christmas Truce" depicts a German soldier with a toothbrush mustache—clearly meant to be Hitler in his German Army days—trying to tattle on the impromptu truce to the German Army brass. He instead gets hit in the head by an errant ball from the football game in no-man's-land and is last seen glumly observing the proceedings from the sidelines.
