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:
- Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
- Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
- 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.
- We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
- If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here
.
- If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here
.
- To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here
.
- 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.
- 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.

Fanfic.My Immortal: Poe's Law pothole needs to be removed from the Troll Fic example. Since the author's intent isn't made clear in the example, it could probably be cut entirely.
just call me Mathy | Sometimes I clean wicks on my Twitch streamIn Everything's Worse with Snowclones, in the hypothetical thought portion that reads as "surely, everyone read that other page- I just have to make a pun with it", the hyphen would probably be better off being a semicolon.
I'll admit that this is a grammar nitpick, so take it or leave it, I suppose. It just looks like it might actually be incorrect grammar (as opposed to an absent Oxford comma or something like that).
The Qur'an: Adaptation Explanation Extrication. The book contains the part from the Bible about David being chastised for the trope-naming Uriah Gambit and repenting (modified but recognizable). However, it doesn't contain the actual story of Uriah and Batsheba, so it's unclear what he repents for.
Characters/AngryBirdsMysteryIsland: make this a page that redirects to Characters/AngryBirds (characters from all Angry Birds media currently redirect there).
Squidward TentacoolsThe MB entry for Stripe wasn't under the YMMV. I just added it there with a link to the original EP.
Please make Main.The Robber Bridegroom a disambig page:
The Robber Bridegroom may refer to:
- A fairytale collected by the Brothers Grimm.
- A 1942 novella by Eudora Welty, based on the fairytale.
- A 1975 theatre musical by Robert Waldman, based on Eudora Welty's novella.
I like to eat poop
Please move this review
from Film.Death Wish to Film.Death Wish 1974.
On Monster.Film B, please change the wick for Film.Bad Samaritan to Film.Bad Samaritan 2018.
I'd like to request Pandoras Jar as a redirect for Pandora's Box.
Is there a reason why Monster Spider Man is locked? I'd like to make a couple edits to swap with Monster.Spider Man.
Trope Editor (he/him)I'd assume it's due to the new "lockdown" on Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard. The mods don't want people to just keep making edits

Working on: Author Appeal | Sandbox | Troper Wall![]()
If your edits are just grammar or link corrections, that’s probably fine, but anything beyond that is currently not allowed. The ban on adding and removing examples will probably be removed eventually, but only once a good way of doing so is found.

At Mega Man, for Irregulars Report novel, please change the namespace to Literature.
