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.

Requesting adding a wick to Helmet-Mounted Sight in the following paragraph of Reds with Rockets (that poor trope has only 44 wicks despite being very old, so that's the reason, really):

R-73/AA-11 "Archer": One of the world's best short-range air-to-air missiles, with an "off-boresight" capability, allowing to be launched up to 60 degrees from an aircraft's centreline via a helmet-mounted sight. Led to a lot of missiles in response, especially after some mock dogfights where German (via the old East Germany) Mi G-29s whipped American F-16s.

The newly launched Fictional Traditions needs to be added to the No Real Life Examples, Please! page. The reason on the trope page is "Not only is real-life not fictional by definition, it is rude and asking for trouble to call another culture's traditions fictional."

With the Ronan entry deleted from Marvel Cinematic Universe, I was wondering if the folders for The Infinity Saga to be merged.

The Infinity Saga

    Examples 
  • Captain America:
    • Captain America: The First Avenger: Johann Schmidt, aka the Red Skull, is a profound narcissist who believes himself a god no longer bound by humanity's rules. The head of HYDRA, a Nazi military organization, Schmidt—as revealed in the tie-in comic First Vengeance—orchestrated the Night of Long Knives to butcher his political opposition before turning the group into his own personal cult. Schmidt is introduced killing the guardian of the Tesseract and ordering the entire village where it was hidden wiped out, before betraying the Nazi party in order to pursue his own goals and murdering three officers sent to check on his research. Schmidt uses the Tesseract to make fantastic new weapons for HYDRA, and has POWs torturously experimented on in order to replicate Dr. Abraham Erskine's Super Serum—which Schmidt originally forced Erskine to create by threatening his family, never informing him that they had already died in a concentration camp. Despite their fanatical devotion to Schmidt, he continually shows no concern for the welfare of his men, having them chomp cyanide pills when captured, executing one merely for surviving an attack, and activating the self-destruct sequence at another HYDRA base when Allied forces overrun it, not caring that hundreds of his troops will be killed in the blast. Schmidt's ultimate plan is to use his new weapons to wipe out half the planet, bombing nearly every major city—including his own capital—just so he can rule over what's left.
    • The First Avenger & The Winter Soldier: Dr. Arnim Zola debuts as a cowardly scientist who joins the Nazis so they'll fund his work. Gleefully making war machines as part of HYDRA, Zola delights in the disastrous results of Dr. Abraham Erskine's Super-Soldier experiment in anticipation of Johann Schmidt turning to his scientific expertise instead, all while mocking his rival over the prospect of his family being executed for his failure. When Schmidt lets Zola in on his plot to Take Over the World, the scientist enslaves and experiments on prisoners of war to build the super weapons necessary for the scheme before betraying his boss to the Allies when it's made clear failure is inevitable. Having become a true believer in totalitarianism, Zola joins the newly-formed S.H.I.E.L.D. and goes about reforming HYDRA within its ranks, all the while masterminding global conflicts to make the people desperate for security. To do this, he abducts and brainwashes people into being "Winter Soldier" assassins, keeping them in stasis and torturously memory wiping them between missions. All of this culminates in a plot to launch Project Insight, which will trap the world in an eternal surveillance state and give HYDRA the ability to slaughter any dissidents, with it being explicitly stated that this will lead to tens of millions of deaths.
    • The Winter Soldier & Civil War: Brock Rumlow is a S.H.I.E.L.D. operative who is really a member of HYDRA. As a STRIKE commander, Rumlow happily killed HYDRA's enemies for years. When Captain America exposes HYDRA's infiltration of S.H.I.E.L.D., Rumlow personally activates Project Insight, a trio of Helicarriers designed to kill millions of people who may threaten HYDRA's power, before killing several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the chaos. Barely surviving the battle and becoming severely disfigured, Rumlow abandoned his loyalties to HYDRA and became the Arms Dealer Crossbones, killing rival dealers and attacking several police stations. He then attacks the Institute for Infectious Diseases in Lagos, killing everyone inside and stealing a dangerous bioweapon. When stopped by Captain America, Rumlow sets off a suicide bomb, hoping to kill Cap and the numerous people nearby as revenge for his disfigurement.

[up]x4 My bad, It'd be here:

R-73/AA-11 "Archer": One of the world's best short-range air-to-air missiles, with an "off-boresight" capability, allowing to be launched up to 60 degrees from an aircraft's centreline via a Helmet-Mounted Sight. Led to a lot of missiles in response, especially after some mock dogfights where German (via the old East Germany) MiG-29s whipped American F-16s.

Please swap the pic in A Serbian Film with this quality upgrade:

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/serbianfilm.jpg

It was discussed here.

In The Content Policy, change Waita Uziga for Waita Uziga, with the Creator/ namespace, because that was the page cut by 5p. Creator.Waita Uziga should also be locked.

Re-cut and lock Anime.Lotte No Omocha and Manga.Lotte No Omocha with the appropriate cut reason. All versions of the work were cut by this thread and should get locked.

Would not be against the MCU merging idea since it puts them all under the same umbrella.

Are TV Tropes mods and staff allowed to retroactively edit this site's Newsletters from long ago?

I'm asking because there's a green wick of VideoGame.Resident Evil on Newsletter.News 202110

Can someone fix that Video Game link to a Franchise namespace so that it will link to Franchise.Resident Evil instead?

Like Donald Trump, now that it's definitive that Kamala Harris lost the election, there should be an edit to the page acknowledging it.


After Biden dropped out of the 2024 presidential election, Harris took over as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee, being endorsed by Biden himself. She would ultimately lose the Electoral College vote and the presidency to Donald Trump on November 5th with only 226 state electors, and conceded to Trump in their phone call on the following day.

Done to here, minus the MCU Monster merge (since I think that qualifies as a major CM edit; hopefully a mod will lend a hand with this case), and the Newsletter thing (editing archives is a no-no).

In the Verbal Tic entry on Permanent Red Link Club, there is a link to the now-cut Exactly What It Says on the Tin.

[down] Yeah, I meant that, sorry.

Misremembered Infinite Use Upgrade as being named "Unlimited Use Upgrade", and now I'm thinking that name would work better for having Added Alliterative Appeal.

What's your request exactly, though? If it's a redirect, I can do that. If it's a rename, however, that would require TRS (and so far the page has no need of a name change).

Hi. I want to request making Tagboard a redirect to Shout Box because they're are synonym terms and, while the former is kinda dated, it's not unheard of and a valid term for small message boards.

That rearrangement of the Monster.Marvel Cinematic Universe page is indeed a major edit and thus can't be done during the moratorium.

Anyhow, as stated before, the CM/MB sandboxes will indeed be cut since they can be brought back. Folks who still need their contents need to take copies themselves.

Please make the following changes to Badass Israeli:

  • Comment-out the following ZCEs:
    • Deborah and Barak (in the Myth & Religion folder)
    • The Heroes, Golda Meir, Ray Donovan examples and the NCIS ones except for the first and last one (in Live-Action TV)
    • The Deus Ex example (in Video Games)
  • Remove the Elijah example in the Myth and Religion folder as misuse (the bears did all the work).
  • Remove the Fauda example (in Live-Action TV) as a general example.

Done to here. I moved the ZCE sub-bullets to the bottom of their example trees so formatting wouldn't break. Let me know if anything was missed.
