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.

Given that it's been a few days and it's pretty much definitive that UsefulNotes.Donald Trump won, I think it's probably time to edit the page with this tidbit. What do you think?


Several years after his 2020 loss, Trump would once again run for reelection in 2024, winning the presidential election against Kamala Harris and becoming the first president to win a non-consecutive term since Grover Cleveland in 1893. He would also be the first republican president to win the popular vote since George W. Bush in 2004.

Another request: please add Cute, but Cacophonic to Limited Real Life Examples Only, as it allows RL examples of animals but not people (like Runt Infanticide), and this has been the case since at least 2010.

Also cutlisted some CM sandboxes that had been swapped. ~ACW Regarding Monster.Podcast, sorry for taking so long but I notice that one example (The Blind Cut) was removed in your post and I can't find it anywhere on the Lit pages.

OK, done and done but cutlisted the podcast CM sandbox because we don't need identical sandboxes identical to the actual CM pages.

My only comment on the Trump suggestion is that it's the appropriate one.

Should Mean Girls be moved to Mean Girls 2004 so as to avoid confusion with the 2024 movie? None of these are locked pages though, so I don't really know the procedure admittedly. I deleted my question about the Point Break page being Point Break 1991 since the 2015 movie did actually get its own page eventually upon further inspection.

[up] That's a question for the Making disambigs thread.

In the Namespace index for Sandbox/, I can see all the copy/mirror sandboxes for CM/MB. There are quite a lot, and I could use some help cutlisting them.

I would personally recommend keeping them for whenever the process restarts - they're meant to be a list of who approved what so that finding original proposals is easier and we can also PM someone if their candidate is being questioned or something like. They help the process quite a bit.

ACW from Arlington, VA (near Washington, D.C.) Since: Jul, 2009
#35316: Nov 8th 2024 at 8:01:42 AM

And we're DEFINITELY keeping the former CM (and MB) sandboxes, right? Those are REALLY helpful.


EDIT: Shit, my bad, the podcast Marvel stuff's indentation is screwy. Try this:
  • Marvel Universe:
    • Marvel's Wastelanders:
      • Old Man Star-Lord: Brandon Best was Doctor Doom's press agent during the supervillain takeover of Earth. After Doom is injured by the Hulk, Best imprisons the weakened Doom in a prison and takes his resources, turning the Midwestern United States into his personal fiefdom. Best has his subjects believe Doom is in charge when in actuality Best is the true ruler. Best forces his subjects to work in mines and factories for little pay and extracts exorbitant taxes from them. Best has his Doombots kill anyone who protests his dictatorship. Best also takes people who displease him and puts them on Deer on Spear, a broadcast shown to his subjects where Kraven the Hunter brutally kills people and then puts the bodies on trees as a warning.
      • Doom: Cora is a seemingly friendly and goofy robotic helper who is secretly a psychopath. Cora is a Rigellian Recorder who is saved by Star-Lord from hostile aliens. Star-Lord takes Cora to Earth and while Cora helps Star-Lord defeat Kraven the Hunter and his master Brandon Best, she is really scouting Earth for colonization by the Rigellian Empire. Cora eventually abandons Star-Lord and allies with a newly freed Doctor Doom. While Cora is assisting Dr. Doom in his quest to attain the Cosmic Cube, she is actually biding her time. After Doom regains the Cosmic Cube and kills the Hulk, Cora reveals her true colors. Cora has decided that humanity is unworthy of survival and will be destroyed to make way for the Rigellian colonizers. Cora hijacks a Cold War-era nuclear stockpile and aims it at Dr. Doom, destroying the West Coast of the US to achieve her goal.
    • Wolverine: The Lost Trail (second season): These two villains stand out as particularly heinous, even in this dark setting:
      • Jason Wyngarde, aka Mastermind, is a mutant kidnapped by Weapon X so that they can make him into a weapon for the government. He is imprisoned with a mutant named Maureen, as well as Logan himself. Maureen designs a helmet to increase Wyngarde's powers, allowing the trio to escape, but Wyngarde uses his powers to incapacitate Logan, believing him too beastly to be allowed to roam free, allowing Weapon X to recapture him. Years later, Wyngarde is using his powers to kidnap people around New Orleans—at least dozens, possibly hundreds of them—turning them into mind-controlled "zombies" and taking them to a community he is creating, Green Haven. At Green Haven, Wyngarde runs this community like a fiefdom, with humans acting like serfs for the mutants. When Weapon X sends an army of sentinels to capture him and Wolverine, Wyngarde has no intention of giving up his fiefdom, intending to have his mind-controlled "zombies" fight the Sentinels to the death, not caring if they die in the process. Wyngarde also exposes Wolverine to horrific illusions to break him and make him his pawn.
      • Master Mold is the AI that controls the Sentinels for Weapon X and the true architect of Wolverine's misfortunes. Master Mold is using the Sentinels to kidnap mutants so that Weapon X can make them into weapons for the government. Master Mold is also stoking anti-mutant violence in America, by providing funds and support to anti-mutant groups like a biker gang known as the Cold Blooded. After Wolverine escapes Weapon X, Master Mold is dead set on recapturing him. Master Mold hires the Cold Blooded to capture Wolverine but has her Sentinel army wipe them out when they prove too chaotic to control. Master Mold sends her Sentinel army to Green Haven, ordering them to kill everything in their path until Wolverine is captured. After capturing Wolverine, Master Mold not only intends to make Wolverine her weapon, but also plans to use Wyngarde's mind control tech against the people who run Weapon X, desiring to give orders, rather than follow them.

Did the review and did the podcast fix.

We have ways to restore cut pages, and all the "approved examples by troper" sandboxes are part of the Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard Sandboxes and Sandbox.Monster Sandboxes index trees so we can track them down and restore them recursively if they will be needed.

I would agree with keeping both the Approved by Troper pages as well as the Former CM and MB pages too.

I just realized that other sandboxes for CM and MB work pages (MCU, Avatar, Law & Order, etc.) will also either need to be locked or deleted too.

Dead Link should have the Exactly What It Says on the Tin wick removed; the trope was disambiguated per TRS.
