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.

In Idiot Plot, pothole "the world population suddenly loses about 50 IQ points" after the description of a second-order idiot plot to World of Dumbass.

I've cutlisted them, per what was said before in this thread about CM/MB sandboxes.

I don’t think thats a good idea, as the other CM/MB sandboxes were duplicates of the official CM/MB pages, unlike the Former CM/MB sandboxes.

At the very least, we should wait until we get an update on CM/MB policies before we think about cutlisting the Former CM/MB pages

I’ll lift my face, and run to the sunlight.

[up] Yeah, I think they might be useful for historical reference, as the CM/MB pages themselves require looking through the history to see which characters were removed.

The policy has been stated here, is there a better place to put it?

They are not progress sandboxes, they are more like trackers for past cases for future reference. Not confident if they're useful when there are no new proposals. If CMMB aren't going to have changes in foreseeable future, the Former sandboxes should have the leftovers wrapped up and also not get any more additions. Maybe it'd make sense to move to Archive/.

Wonder if ~ACW or other regulars can comment on it.

[up][up]Maybe archive, maybe keep, but I personally strongly oppose cutting them outright. Hell, sometimes out of curiosity I go to that list.

I would like to request that the following edit be made to the Snuff Film page for crosswicking purposes:

* Midnight Vampire: The antagonists of the short are criminals who record themselves killing innocent victims in brutal ways. They are just about to film their murder of a helpless girl when the titular vampire suddenly walks onto their set and begins to Pay Evil unto Evil by killing them all.

The current Complete Monster fanworks page has a piece of factual misinformation (complete monster > fanworks > anime & manga > mobile suit gundam witch from mercury > The Morrigan)

>Eventually left with only one Enhanced Person due to their own cruelty, the CE Os force the final Enhanced Person's partner into Indentured Servitude and threaten to kill her lest she pilot the Pharact

The CE Os don't threaten to kill her, they tell her that if she doesn't pilot it, Elan will have to until it kills him, and vice versa (so Norea pilots it until she physically can't, then they tell Elan to do it or they'll have her do the final mission that'll kill her until he's near death, rince and repeat). Suggest change to:

>Eventually left with only one Enhanced Person due to their own cruelty, the CE Os force the final Enhanced Person's partner into Indentured Servitude and force the duo to alternate piloting the Pharact lest one of them is forced to do it alone until the strain kills them.

Requesting a lock for Hate Sink, as tropes have been unilaterally added to the subtrope list several times even after it was reduced.

Where's the archive for the former CM list? Since Former Complete Monsters was cutlisted despite being useful. And is still at Monster Sandboxes

Thank goodness the TV and video games ones are still there.

On Administrivia.Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement, please remove the text at the very end of the page "(or this thread for political issues).", as it links to the morgued "Trump and ROCEJ" thread. Identified here.

Panty Shot has an Exactly What It Says on the Tin pothole. The text is probably fine to stay as written, but the pothole needs to be cut.
