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. Some locked pages have ongoing cleanup threads, like Complete Monster (Thread), Five-Man Band (Thread), and Magnificent Bastard (Thread). Other than purely technical requests, edits to these pages ought to be discussed in these threads first.
  9. Also, 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 that follows the format Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard<Name of the example subpage> and Sandbox.Monster<Name of the example subpage> (e.g for Monster.Disney it's Sandbox.Monster Disney) and ask for it to be swapped in on Saturday for Magnificent Bastard and on Monday for Complete Monster.
  10. 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 the page for Mumkey Jones, there's a capitalization error on one of the entries for The Power of Friendship.

So where it says:

No, the former is the correct subpage name.

Mostly done to here. Some of these PRLC candidates don't need to be permared so I didn't add them. For the Nightmare Fuel page, we can still edit them to add new opinions.

~ACW (#33802) that page was moved in this request, because consensus decided for the web video subpages to be plural (Web Videos rather than Web Video).

I may work on the others and make them redirects.

Another one for Permanent Red Link Club. This time around I request these two entries:

  • Encyclopedia Dramatica: The page was very biased against the site and its members, attracting all manner of negative attention from them. No other efforts stopped this, and we have no interest in Tempting Fate here.
  • YMMV pages about Real Life people: Your Mileage May Vary subpages about Real Life people, while not forbidden from creation by default, tend to become about the people themselves, which is beyond the scope of this wiki. If a person's YMMV subpage is redlinked and locked, it's for this reason. YMMV pages for creators and musicians can only be about their works, not themselves.

are changed like so:

  • Main.Encyclopedia Dramatica: The page was very biased against the site and its members, attracting all manner of negative attention from them. No other efforts stopped this, and we have no interest in Tempting Fate here. A wiki vandal later recreated the page at Website.Encyclopedia Dramatica, resulting in that page's salting.
  • YMMV pages about Real Life people: YMMV subpages about Real Life people, while not forbidden from creation by default, tend to become about the people themselves, which is beyond the scope of this wiki. If a person's YMMV subpage is redlinked and locked, it's for this reason. YMMV pages for creators and musicians can only be about their works, not themselves.

The Conan the Barbarian example in the Comics section of Rape Discretion Shot needs to be moved to Literature. There was probably a comic adaptation of "A Witch Shall Be Born", but the story in question was originally written by Howard.

On Permanent Red Link Club, Film.Pokemon Black And White The Movie, WebVideo.Sammy Classic Sonic Fan, WebOriginal.This Troper, and WebVideo.Louder With Crowder are italicized, which is a little weird because nothing else is. I don't think it's necessary to italicize them since the page is talking about wiki pages specifically and not the works themselves. Plus the first one isn't even a real work, as pointed out by the entry.

EDIT: Also, Edward Oedipus Gayfish Cullen has a greenlink to Twilight, when it should point to Twilight (2005).

On Television Is Trying to Kill Us, I'd like to update the Easy Sex Change example to the point below, in order to make the different stages of gender-affirming care easier to discern and prevent the example from being co-opted for transphobic rhetoric.

  • Easy Sex Change: In real life, gender reassignment is not easy, let alone simple. A person wishing to go through this has to attend therapy 3x (or more) per week, and be evaluated by the therapist and doctors to make sure that they won't have any regrets, which is a probable reason why detransitioning is so rare in the first place.note  They also have to live and present as that gender for a certain amount of time, then they must regularly take hormone replacement to at least somewhat change their secondary sex characteristics...and if all goes well with that, then maybe they can get genital replacement and/or plastic surgeries. The hormones can cause drastic, even unwanted changes in a person's mood and physiology...and depending on where they live, the cost for all this could unfortunately be 100% on the patient. (Even if they are dysphoric to the point of being suicidal without it.)

I also believe this example someone put in the sandbox is more than worthy of mention:

  • I Surrender, Suckers: In real life, we call this "perfidy" and, despite what Sun Tzu may say on how effective this tactic is, employing it in a war is a good way to discourage your enemies from honoring your surrender. If you choose to bait the enemy combatants into an ambush, they might as well kill you (or people who are genuinely surrendering) out of paranoia; better safe than sorry.

Another request for Fallen Creator. Change:

  • Throughout the 2000s, Dan Schneider was touted as a pioneer of the modern Kid Com genre, shifting children's TV towards mostly live-action programming for a tween audience with such hit shows as All That, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, iCarly and Victorious, all of which launched the careers of numerous celebrities. However, by the late 2010s, concerns grew over Schneider's behavior, especially after the extremely controversial production of Sam & Cat. His next series, Henry Danger, was a ratings success, but nowhere near the level of Nick's previous juggernauts, and later shows such as Game Shakers and the animated series The Adventures of Kid Danger failed to gain momentum. Finally, in early 2018, it was revealed Schneider had verbally and emotionally abused several of the teenaged stars of his shows, alongside dozens of accusations of sexualization of underage girls and collaborating with convicted pedophiles. Schneider's career was permanently destroyed after Jennette McCurdy's memoir I'm Glad My Mom Died revealed more of the backstage stories on the shows she was in, as well as allegations from Amanda Bynes (even indicating he had a role in her star-derailing addiction problems).

I would like to request a disambig page for Main.Deadtime Stories:

''Deadtime Stories'' may refer to:
* ''Film/{{Deadtime Stories|1986}}'', a 1986 American horror comedy directed by Jeffery Delman.
* ''Literature/{{Deadtime Stories|AnnetteAndGinaCascone}}'', a series of horror novels written by the duo Annette and Gina Cascone.
** This page also includes the 2012 TV adaptation of the books.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Deadtime Stories|MTV}}'', a 2003 {{Pilot}} created for Creator/{{MTV}} by Breehn Burns and Michael Dougherty.
* ''Film/DeadtimeStoriesVolume1'', a 2009 horror film directed by Michael Fischa, Jeff Monahan, and Creator/TomSavini.
** ''Film/DeadtimeStoriesVolume2'', the sequel to the 2009 film now directed by Michael Fischa, Jeff Monahan, and Creator/MattWalsh.
If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.
