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.

Done to here, I wonder whether listing Media Notes pages on Definition-Only Pages is actually necessary.

If it's worth anything, I'm opposed to locking the Renamed Tropes and Square Peg subpages. They need more maintenence than a typical Administrivia page, so I think locking them will just add unnecessary backlog to this thread. Unless there's an issue with vandalism, I don't see what locking will accomplish.

Add under the Video Games folder for UsefulNotes.Adolf Hitler:

  • The New Order: Last Days of Europe: Adolf Hitler is the starting leader of Nazi Germany in this timeline where the Axis won World War II. Due to his advanced age, after he dies on October 1963, this results in the entire Reich being destabilized until a member of his Inner Circle manages to ascend to the seat of Führer.

Eh, good enough.

YouTube is currently being indexed on Text Formatting Rules, which I don’t think it should be. Likewise for TV Tropes and Avatar and the Airbending Fellowship of Vampire Slayers.

Also, that Administrivia page’s link to Text Formatting Rules needs to be namespaced.

@SeptimusHeap: Considering I see "NegaDub" in CamelCase on other pages for the show (such as the Awesome page), I assume that's the case.

So, I'll once again request the edit I requested here.

On the page for Five-Man Band, there is a Kung Fu Panda example that is specifically referring to the first movie, which would go under the name WesternAnimation.Kung Fu Panda 1, but has the link WesternAnimation.Kung Fu Panda which is a redirect to the franchise index. Please change it and any other of those redirects that are on the page accordingly.

I just recently launched the trope No Clear Leader, which covers instances of uncertain leadership within groups/nations. I ask if it can be included in In-Universe Examples Only and No Real Life Examples, Please!, the former to address any "this group as no leader" examples, and the latter due to the risk of stepping on the toes of actual IRL leadership debates.

[up][up] Those are archives, which aren’t supposed to be edited ever, as it says at the top of this thread. Some appear to have broken or outdated wiki syntax on them, which bothers me a lot in general, but I’m sure they won’t be edited to fix that either.

Afraid that I don't understand Also, that Administrivia page’s link to Text-Formatting Rules needs to be namespaced. - which page is this on?

No Clear Leader needs a rationale for its NRLEP listing.

As said above, we don't edit archives.

I'll do the swap of the sandboxes soonish.

Everything else is done.

I meant to say Administrivia.Tips Worksheet, which is linked to with no namespace on Text Formatting Rules. This is indexing the Main/ redirect.

On Example Sectionectomy, please remove the following sentence:

This page applies to tropes; work pages that have their examples removed are decided by The Content Policy, and will be listed there and not here.

As this comment in the CV forum says, work pages are no longer stripped off their on-page examples and locked for Content Policy reasons. In other words, they aren't exceptions to the rule of a minimum of three examples described in How to Create a Work Page.
