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.

I don't know if this has been discussed already but I think it'd be logical to have The2010s and The2020s as respective redirects to The New '10s and The New '20s. I mean, The 2000s is already a redirect to Turn of the Millennium.

Here there be cats.

On WhatAnIdiot.Star Wars, please remove this sentence from The Last Jedi folder, since it links to What an Idiot!, which is what the page is a subpage for.

"What an Idiot!" perfectly summed up Captain Canady's own opinion on Hux regarding that.

In relation to the Adolf Hitler page.


"Master D" and "The Badds" in the NES game Bionic Commando (1988) were really Hitler and the Nazis with the swastikas painted over, due to clumsy Bowdlerization of the Japanese release, called Top Secret: The Resurrection of Hitler.

Not only does he cuss at you in an NES game, but you get to blow up his head, in one of the greatest video game moments of all-time.

^Not sure what you are asking for there, but I fixed the bullet point. Melania Trump isn't locked. Doing the sandbox swaps in a second. Done to here otherwise.

See my previous post - if Text-Formatting Rules is supposed to be an index, the pages I mentioned probably shouldn’t be indexed there. (Just use the [[index]] markup.)

[up][up]

Was asking about changing from Bionic Commando to Bionic Commando (1988). Someone made the latter page to split up the BC games up.

For Monster/Podcasts, if the entries are categorized by release date the Ain't Slayed Nobody entry on The Dare should go between the entries for "The Murder Shack" and "A Dance With Darkness".

"The Murder Shack" was originally released on September 17, 2020; and was recut into three episodes on June 13, 2023.

The Dare was released on October 10, 2022.

"A Dance With Darkness" was released on April 2, 2023.

In The Fundamentalist, please change "the Belgariad universe" to The Belgariad and alphabetize Flawed, currently at the bottom of the Literature folder, between The Elenium and Good Omens.

Done to here, save for Monster.Podcast as I don't know the sorting scheme there.

You still don’t seem to have done what I requested here in the first paragraph. Unless there’s a reason.

[up][up] For Ain't Slayed Nobody? Before the CM list was moved to the Monster/Podcast page over I'd been sorting them by the episodes' chronological release dates—which also seems to be the policy for the Monster/Podcast page itself.

^^^Text-Formatting Rules is not currently indexing anything, and it shouldn't, anyway.

^^OK, probably best to do it in the sandboxes, then. The CM structures are confusing.

^Done.

OK... but now I'm a bit confused. Shouldn't it just be a simple matter of shifting The Dare's entry down a little?

[up][up] It was indexing stuff before, but you’re probably right that it doesn’t need to be an index, so thanks for that.

Remove the parenthetical about Henry Kissinger being “still alive” from European Union. I have a feeling it’s not relevant anymore.

Done and done. Structure changes in Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard pages need to be sandboxed, yes - it's too easy to get them wrong otherwise.
