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.

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.

Mostly done to here. The Enemy Mine addition I don't think belongs on character pages. I'll ask about the Saints Row thing.

On 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.

Please add this line to the end of Administrivia.The Troping Code:

[up][up] Shouldn't Administrivia be liked alongside forum rules then?

[up] 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.

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:

If an internal link brought you here, please correct it to refer to the right article.

Done to here and unlocked the Saints Row things. No consensus on the Troping Code thing.

[up](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.

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:

''Franchise/KungFuPanda1'': Master Oogway is a wise old tortoise...

To this:

''Franchise/KungFuPanda'': Master Oogway is a wise old tortoise...

And change this:

In the events of the [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda first film]]...

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:

* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda1'': [[OldMaster Master Oogway]] is a [[WiseOldTurtle wise old tortoise]] who founded the Jade Palace and current Furious Five for the purpose of protecting the Valley of Peace. Having turned from his conquering ways of the past following kindness he was shown, Oogway has trained Shifu and assembled the Furious Five from all corners of China, putting them through rigorous tests of physicality and character both to prove their worth. In the events of the [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda first film]], Oogway chooses the seemingly useless, untrainable [[Characters/KungFuPandaMasterPoPing Po]] to be the new Dragon Warrior, seeing a spark of potential in the panda that proves correct when Po defeats the powerful Tai Lung and becomes the new protector of the Valley of Peace. Oogway's choosing of Po is shown to be even more brilliant in the [[WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda3 third film]], in which it is revealed Oogway orchestrated Po reuniting with his supposedly dead panda tribe so he could learn Chi and stop Oogway's old rival Kai when he inevitably returned.

Please swap it for this:
