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.

No examples for Accidental Nightmare Fuel. Use Nightmare Fuel and put it on the YMMV tab.

Naming A Trope needs:

  • The quote changed, since Fast Eddie changed his sig.
  • A space inserted in the Trope Namer section, between the title and the first sentence.

On Complete Monster Film page, there is a line:

  • Louis Roulet from The Lincoln Lawyer is an absolutely vicious, sadistic, misogynistic rapist and murderer who shows no empathy for anyone he hurts, sent an innocent man to prison for one of his crimes, and is perfectly willing to murder or threaten anyone who might pose any threat to him, including a young girl. Quite notable that he is the case that caused the textbook Amoral Attorney protagonist to finally turn on a client.
    • His mother isn't much better, either!

Can you remove the line about a mother? She is not a Complete Monster because she loves her son. Keep the line about Louis though.

YMMV/Fifty Shades of Gray:

Love It or Hate It: Sweet Baby Jesus.

(Okay, the trope description is strictly optional.)

There has been a request on discussions to add this link to the Edit War entries - probably potholed under "And sometimes it gets ridiculous."

[up]That one is on the Wikipedia page, by the way.

Okay, we're done to here except:

  • I didn't put the cover pic on Fifty Shades Of Grey. For some reason the pic resize site I use is putting a border on pics...I think they've got a new feature that's malfunctioning. We can try again later.
  • I left the quote on Naming A Trope as it is...seems fine to me even if Eddie's changed his sig.
  • Love It or Hate It is an "in-universe examples only" trope, so if it's not in 50SoG then it doesn't need to go on that page's YMMV page.
  • I don't get the Edit War request, that text isn't on the page and it has no examples.

The request wasn't for Edit War, but for Wikipedia; it's on the discussion page.

For Let's Play, remove Red Chocobo. It's a redirect to Chorocojo, which is already on the list. Red Chocobo is just a former nickname the Let's Player had. Also, under pokecapn, Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 has Let's Play at the end of it, making it a red link. Removing it should make it a blue link.

This should be added to Fifty Shades Of Grey:

Beta Couple: Kate and Elliot. Aside from a bit of tension in book three they're the happy, emotionally healthy couple in contrast to Christian and Ana's constant drama.

[up] Thanks, and there is also another thing that needs to be cut;

  • The Albanian sex slave traffickers and their associates in Taken have absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever, give horrific treatment to those poor girls who fall in their clutches, and are, all of them, Too Dumb to Live. The fact that Bryan Mills destroys the whole organization is quite a relief.

We agreed many times that whole groups or organizations cannot qualify for a Complete Monster title. They are also on the Film page and should be cut as well.

What Happened to the Mouse? is in the ymmv section for Naruto, but it isn't a subjective.

Can you also get rid of the hottips in YMMV.Naruto as well?

Geez, I need to chainsaw that page. Why was the objective Generic Doomsday Villain there? Anyway, DTH.
