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.

G La DOS is a salted initialism redirect to GLaDOS that should be on the PRLC.

Cel Animation has in its description that it's definition-only, so please list it in Definition-Only Pages.

^Done.

^^That seems to be a somewhat undercooked TLP - why would this kind of trope not need examples?

^^^That's not an initialism redirect.

Characters.Dragon Ball Frieza has been split into 2 sub-pages, so please edit the Administrivia.Character Specific Pages to include Frieza's example in the Characters who have their own sub-pages in the second paragraph (which includes Goku, Vegeta and the Nostalgia Critic).

Planning for a Allegiance page:

Not putting Literature/Allegiance since it's connected to Completed Migrations — Literature.

[up][up][up][up][up][up][up][up] Main.G La DOS is locked though, so it should probably be on the PRLC, and is a similar case to many initialism redirects, since it got accidentally linked a lot.

Since Allegiance is under Archive/Completed Migrations Video Games (and locked), is it possible for Allegiance to be redirected at Allegiance (2000)?

Minor edit request for UsefulNotes.Adolf Hitler. The quote at the top has an external link to Mein Kampf, but we already have an internal link for it. It should be like this:

"That such a man could go so far toward realizing his ambitions—that is a phenomenon the world will ponder for centuries to come."
— Modern introduction to Mein Kampf

Couldn't ImageLinks.Snuff Film be one of those locked joke stubs like ImageLinks.Dominatrix and ImageLinks.Shock Site are?

Now that Characters.DCEU Steppenwolf and Characters.DCEU Darkseid have been merged into Characters.DCEU Apokolips, I would like to request some pothole changes on Monster.DC Films to reflect those changes.

  • Justice League:
    • 2017 film: Steppenwolf, military commander of Apokolips, had burned countless worlds when he came to Earth, killing millions and raising them as monstrous Parademons, before he tasted defeat. Returning thousands of years later, Steppenwolf seeks to recover the lost Mother Boxes to enact his plan of wiping out life on Earth to turn it into a blasted hellscape like his own homeworld, hoping to offer Earth to his master Darkseid and end his exile. Massacring the Amazon warriors guarding their Mother Box and later doing the same to the Atlanteans, Steppenwolf captures humans who may know of the third Mother Box, killing them when they don't have the info he wants and preparing to torture another until he talks. When the newly formed Justice League moves to stop him, Steppenwolf puts his plan into motion and unleashes his forces on civilians, intending to annihilate all life on Earth to erase the memory of his past failure.
    • Zack Snyder's Justice League: Darkseid, once known as Uxas, is the dark ruler of Apokolips hell-bent on finding the Anti-Life Equation to subjugate all life in the Multiverse. To this end, Darkseid conquers 100,000 worlds and terraforming them into a new Apokolips, cleansing them with fire and turning its inhabitants into soulless slaves aware but without freedom. Darkseid would later invade Earth upon learning it contains the Anti-Life Equation, and tries to terraform it, only to be defeated and driven back. Darkseid would later banish Steppenwolf from Apokolips, forcing him to conquer thousands of planets should he ever want to return. Upon learning that Steppenwolf found the Anti-Life Equation, Darkseid orders him to scorch the planet; when Steppenwolf failed, Darkseid simply crushes his decapitated head. In the "Knightmare", Darkseid kills most of the Justice League, brainwashes Superman into being his servant, and reduces the Earth into a barren wasteland.

Both Steppenwolf potholes can be reverted to The Heavy, the original pothole before Step got a page. Darkseid can be changed to Characters.New Gods Darkseid and Knightmare can be changed to Characters.DCEU Alternate Timelines due to that page having been merged as well.

Requesting that these cutlisted pages go on the PRLC:

(I cutlisted the latter because it's a deprecated Main/ namespace redirect to an Administrivia page)

Self Repair redirect to Self-Healing Phlebotinum, because it seems like it doesn't have to be Phlebotinum at all, it just needs to be a (probably?) in-organic thing that can repair itself?

Mostly done to here, but This Troper IMO needs a better solution than a cut page.

We don't make locked joke pages just because. If someone has a funny idea, we can implement it, but the idea has to come first. And it has to be funny - just repeating already existing jokes isn't funny.

VideoGame.Allegiance isn't locked.

I still don't think G La DOS is worth listing.

Those pages I mentioned (Analysis.Trains With Faces and Analysis.TV Tropes Reviews) actually go under "Other" and need to be locked.

Doing ^ and ^^. Don't think these two analyses require permaredlinking just yet.
