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.

How is the first one gossip exactly?

The reasons used are the ones given from past crowners or categorizations.

[up]Maybe stereotype fits better over gossip as the Sissy Villain trope is a rather common (and harmful) stereotype towards gay men.

I would like to request a disambig page for Main.Obsession

''Obsession'' may refer to:
* TheObsession, another name for the trope DevotedToYou.
* ObsessionSong, a musical trope about songs performed by {{mad love}}rs.
* Film/{{Obsession|1976}}, a 1976 PsychologicalThriller film directed by Creator/BrianDePalma.
* Fanfic/{{Obsession}}, a 2006 Franchise/{{Pokemon}} fanfiction written by Blackjack Gabbiani.
* Literature/TheObsession, a 2021 YoungAdult novel written by Jesse Q. Sutanto.
If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.

Hey Septimus. Thanks.

For the main page of Eighth Man, I want to keep it as Eighth Man instead of Eighth Man 1963. Using the latter for the manga.


The details are still the same for Eight Man.


Also would like to request on getting an edit to the Made of Win (Early 2009).

Need to switch Siren to Siren 1.

Website.Literotica's place on The Content Policy wasn't updated after the page was cut. It needs to be moved down the list to "Special Cases", with justification along the lines of "Hosting website rather than a tropable work; cut as a stub rather than for content reasons".

Since UsefulNotes.Microsoft Windows was on the locked pages list and it was moved to Platform.Microsoft Windows, should the new page be locked?

According to the LP list, it was preemptively locked to prevent the trolling and vandalism that got the Microsoft page PRLC'd. Are those issues still looming over the page even after all these years? Because the page had been locked since forever when it was on the UN namespace, so I'm curious to know if the lock is still a necessity.

Made the new disambiguation and left Microsoft Windows open for now. We don't edit archives and I am not sure if the stub cut of the Literotica page justifies a change of its location on the content policy page; maybe a question for the CV forum?

In DarthWiki.Fallen Creator, in the Video Game Companies and Video Game Designers folders, save for UsefulNotes.The Golden Age Of Video Games, UsefulNotes.South Korea, and UsefulNotes.The Sixth Generation Of Console Video Games, please change all instances of the Useful Notes/ namespace to Platform/.

On The Fundamentalist, the entry for CM Punk has a wick to Catchphrase, which is now a disambiguation page. Please change it to Character Catchphrase instead.

Please make the following change to Characters.Fire Emblem Three Houses Edelgard.

Current example:

  • Fantastic Racism: Her harsh and dehumanizing rhetoric against Nabateans certainly paints a picture of this. This is expressed in her distrust of them holding power over humans, unlike the Agarthans that want them all destroyed..

Change it to this:

  • Fantastic Racism: Her harsh and dehumanizing rhetoric against Children of the Goddess certainly paints a picture of this. This is expressed in her distrust of them holding power over humans, unlike the Agarthans that want them all destroyed..

Reason: Replacing a weird fan term with the term that is used in the game.

(If you don't want to be spoiled, do a search-and-replace Nabateans → Children of the Goddess).

Please make a redirect to Yaoi Genre from Danmei. I feel like it should it be a thing by now given the increasing amount of Chinese BL works that are getting pages.

Requesting Shawl of Divinity as a redirect to Magical Floating Shawl - it adds more context to examples of the shawl showing a character's divine nature, without expecting the reader to already be familiar with the trope (similar to why we have Holy Halo rather than "Halo Behind Head").

I am shifting the page Adventures in Zambezia to the Animation/ namespace (it used to be in the WesternAnimation/ namespace), but found a page, Monster.Animated Films, that has a wick for the page and is locked. Please change the wick as necessary.

In Laconic.Israel, the Hebrew at the bottom reads,

בקר בגרסא הבלתי מנוצלת כאן

Which means "Visit the unexploited version here". I think it should be changed to "בקר בגרסא הלא-מקוצרת כאן", which fits the English translation ("Visit the unabridged version here").

Reason: Replacing a weird fan term with the term that is used in the game.

(If you don't want to be spoiled, do a search-and-replace Nabateans → Children of the Goddess).

Is "Nabateans" really a "weird fan term"? The civilization of Nabatea was named after an IRL kingdom that was conquered by the Roman Empire and whose inhabitants were called Nabateans, so it's not that weird. The wikis treat it as legit (though that doesn't really mean anything), but apparently there is a hidden song called "Song of the Nabateans" that for some reason is only unlockable in the Japanese version of the game.
