- moving discussion pages
- moving reviews
Please keep the following guidelines in mind:
- Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
- Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
- 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.
- We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
- If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here
.
- If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here
.
- To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here
.
- 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.
- 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.

On Administrivia.Locked Pages, if the Trivia and YMMV pages for VideoGame.Saints Row 2022 are still causing problems even a year and a half after the game's release, I'd like for their entries:
- Trivia.Saints Row 2022: Temp-locked because of warring online factions dumping their arguments into our article.
- YMMV.Saints Row 2022: Temp-locked because of warring online factions dumping their arguments into our article.
to be changed thusly:
- Trivia.Saints Row 2022: Locked because of warring online factions dumping their arguments into our article.
- YMMV.Saints Row 2022: Locked because of warring online factions dumping their arguments into our article.
Otherwise, the pages should probably be unlocked.
Requesting the following pages to be swapped:

Please make Glowing Eye Of Doom a redirect to Glowing Eyes of Doom
Mostly done to here. The Enemy Mine addition I don't think belongs on character pages. I'll ask about the Saints Row thing.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanOn Monster.Anime And Manga G To N, the entry for Mudou Gou (from Kongoh Bancho) has a wick for Catchphrase, that's now a disambiguation page. Please remove it.

You say "exhaustive list of the rules". Administrivia is that list and the forums rules are forum-specific extension.
Another one for Administrivia.Permanent Red Link Club. I'd like for this:
- Horrible.The King Of Hate: Went to the point where every series he did was listed. It was made worse when there are examples surrounding the creator's personal life as well.
to be changed to this:
- Horrible.The King Of Hate: Went to the point where every series he did was listed. It was made worse when there were examples surrounding the creator's personal life as well.
This is to reflect the fact that examples surrounding DSP's personal life were formerly listed on the page before it was cut.
Done to here. The The Troping Code request needs some discussion among the moderators.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanOn MagnificentBastard.Animated Films, the entry for Master Oogway (from Kung Fu Panda) has a wick for WesternAnimation.Kung Fu Panda. Please change it to WesternAnimation.Kung Fu Panda 1.
I would like to request Escape From Hell to be made as the following redirect:
Escape from Hell may refer to a number of distinct pages:
- Escaped from Hell, a trope about characters escaping from a bad afterlife.
- Escape from Hell (1990), a videogame by Electronic Arts.
- Escape from Hell! (2008), a novella by Hal Duncan.
- Escape from Hell (2009), a sequel to Inferno (Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle).
If an internal link brought you here, please correct it to refer to the right article.
(x3) uh the link was actually to the franchise page, so now there is a red link.
Though even then I don't see why there was a need to change it, Oogway is also in Kung Fu Panda 3.

Please swap Monster Literature H To M for Literature: H to M. I had to make a grammar change.
Okay, I probably should've clarified what I meant, so here's what the edit for MagnificentBastard.Animated Films should look like:
First, change this:
To this:
And change this:
To this:
Divine Judgement and Divine Judgment to Divine Punishment because the draft
has people saying it's the same.
Could the following example please be added to Political Overcorrectness:
Web Videos
- Auralnauts Star Wars: Discussed. Mr. Palpatine thinks that Life Day is a pointless politically correct term for Christmas, and wants the Life Day Parade rebranded as the Christmas Parade. He ignores Vader's assertion that Life Day is an actual holiday and that the Alderaanians (whose memory the entire parade is dedicated to) didn't celebrate Christmas.
Palpatine: What is this... Life Day nonsense about, anyway?
Vader: What?
Palpatine: Why are people afraid to just say Christmas?
The edit to MagnificentBastard.Animated Films still isn't correct.
Okay, here's what the entry looks like now:
Please swap it for this:

Please make a disambig for these two
