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.
- Some locked pages have ongoing cleanup threads, like Complete Monster (Thread), Five-Man Band (Thread), and Magnificent Bastard (Thread). Other than purely technical requests, edits to these pages ought to be discussed in these threads first.
- Also, we do not do direct edits (other than changing wicks) to Magnificent Bastard or Complete Monster example lists. Rather, you need to do the edit to a sandbox page that follows the format Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard<Name of the example subpage> and Sandbox.Monster<Name of the example subpage> (e.g for Monster.Disney it's Sandbox.Monster Disney) and ask for it to be swapped in on Saturday for Magnificent Bastard and on Monday for Complete Monster.
- 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.

There's a couple of minor bits on All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles.
- MAD Magazine -> Magazine/{{MAD}}
- Dork Tower -> Webcomic/DorkTower and needs to be moved either to Web Original or a new Web Comic folder
- MST 3 K -> Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 (it's used in the Rifftrax example as well)
- Yes Dear -> Series/YesDear
- [[{{Urotsukidouji}} Overfiend]] -> ''Overfiend'' (Should the use of Urotsukidouji in the description be changed to Overfiend for consistency or left alone?)
- In the Visual Novel example there are two uses of V Ns which should be VNs (CamelCase)
- Hotel Dusk -> VideoGame/HotelDuskRoom215
- Comic Jumper -> VideoGame/ComicJumperTheAdventuresOfCaptainSmiley
- Princess Mononoke -> Anime/PrincessMononoke
- The Wotch -> Webcomic/TheWotch (if a webcomic folder is opted for, that needs to move)
- The note on the AskMen.com's example is broken and natter.
- Cracked -> Website/{{Cracked}} (multiple uses)
- Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya -> LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya
- Robot Chicken -> WesternAnimation/RobotChicken
- Sailor Moon -> Manga/SailorMoon
- Sealab2021 -> WesternAnimation/{{Sealab2021}}
- Terminator Salvation -> [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} Terminator: Salvation]]
- Rifftrax -> Podcast/{{Rifftrax}} and move to weboriginal folder
Apologies if I missed any and that should be in order.
EDIT: I also question the use of folders on such a small page, but if that's how it should be, I request the spaces between the folder tags and the examples be removed.

I made a (short and not very good) page for Marriland, can someone at him on the Lets Player page?
On Let's Play, can someone link to InTheLittleWood as a subheading of the Yogscast?
Can we lock Monster.Fan Works? We have a serious problem with people adding bad examples without discussing them. We'll hopefully get to cleaning it soon, but we need to lock it to stop it from getting worse.
Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.We're caught up.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerHacking away at the relateds on the Justified disamibuguation page, so I request that the occurrence of {{Justified}} on the locked Final Fantasy VII character page be changed to {{Justified|Trope}}.

On complete monster Film page, there is a line
- William Tavington from The Patriot likes to shoot little boys and set churches filled with innocent people on fire. The audience can only cheer when the hero kills him.
- Movies by Mel Gibson in general seem to have a higher-than-average ratio of Complete Monsters.
- Tavington exists mainly so Gibson's protagonist can brutally slaughter British troops and still look like a good guy.
- Edward Longshanks undergoes a Historical Villain Upgrade in order to justify William Wallace' violent way of achieving revenge and freedom in Braveheart.
- The Mayan warriors in Apocalypto are horrible, especially the rapist Middle Eye who enjoys torturing captives.
- Movies by Mel Gibson in general seem to have a higher-than-average ratio of Complete Monsters.
This should be changed because Edward Longshanks has been disqualified so change the line to:
- William Tavington from The Patriot likes to shoot little boys and set churches filled with innocent people on fire. The audience can only cheer when the hero kills him.
- Another good candidate from a movie by Mel Gibson would be the rapist Middle Eye from Apocalypto. While all the Mayan Warriors are truly vile and horrible, this guy stands above his peers. Not only he rapes women, but he enjoys torturing his captives brutally and he is the one who kills Cocoa Leaf by pushing him of the cliff. Even other slave holders are disgusted with him.
Another thing that has to be done on Film page is removal of Ellen Berrent from Leave Her To Heaven. She is pretty nasty but she does everything for love and not for kicks or selfish goals.
Also, on CM Disney page, the quote should be removed
->"And that's all there is to report from the happiest place on earth: evil family members, psychotic killers, and of course the prince of all darkness himself, Satan." —>— The Nostalgia Critic, Top 11 Disney villain list.
This is the quote on the page, and it should be removed because it shows some list of Disney Villains on You Tube, but none of the villains on the list made it to our CM page.
Finally, on CM Western Animation page, there is another villain that has to be axed; Rumpelstiltskin from Shrek Forever After. He is bad but he is also Played for Laughs sometimes, and he loves his pet goose.

I've just launched "The Team Benefactor" and I think it might be worth mentioning under the "Associated Character Tropes" section of Five-Man Band;
- The Team Benefactor — The team member who contributes some sort of resource rather that their own abilities. Usually by being the one with money.
Gor:
- Longevity Treatment: The Caste of Physicians developed a treatment called the Stabilization Serums, which allowed the recipient to live for hundreds of years. The Priest-Kings, the Physical Gods of the setting, have a similar treatment, the oldest being about 5,000,000 years old.
We're caught up except for the quote on Disney...checking with the rest of the staff on that.
Could the Conspiracy Theory entry be removed from the Barack Obama page? Conspiracy Theory is a redirect to Useful Notes, Conspiracy Theorist is a No Real Life Examples Please page, and the entry looks like it's mostly complaining.

A genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinkerOh, and I found couple more that need to be axed from complete monster Film page; the bullies from the Estonian film Klass because they violate "no group" rule.
Also Christo from Act Of Valor because as written, he loves his family so no matter what, he is disqualified by this.
^^ Nope, it is a valid use of the subject as a trope.
Goal: Clear, Concise and WittyGot 'em.
On Sex Slave, there is a redlink to Sensitive Pornograph.
Could someone please remove it?
Evil is my favorite color.Main.Yu Gi Oh needs to be changed to Anime.Yu Gi Oh on The Chick, to Franchise.Yu Gi Oh on Dangerously Short Skirt, and to Manga.Yu Gi Oh on Compensated Dating.
Done and done.
I was looking at the pages in Hottip Cleanup Y, cleaning up the hottips, when I came to You Know That Show. There's a hottip in there that needs to be changed over to the labelnote markup, on the page quote. Not to mention, there are a few Red Links, including the ever-present This Troper, plus a bad namespace for a troper's page, and someone who tried to plural Ridiculously Cute Critter.
For the Web Original section on Mondegreen:
- Many You Tube videos give you the option to turn on closed captions. On videos where the maker provided the captions, there's no issue. However, the rest of these videos use a speech-to-text program to automatically transcribe the captions, leading to such moments as "Hey, I've been trying to reach you for the past hour. What've you been doing?" being intepreted (or misheard by the program) as "Anytime we put that style what you've been doing?"
Please change Main.Yu-Gi-Oh to Anime.Yu Gi Oh and Main.Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds to Anime.Yu Gi Oh 5 Ds on Sandbox.Blue Eyes.
On Roleplay.Duel Academy R 2, Main.Yu-Gi-Oh to Franchise.Yu Gi Oh, Main.Yu-Gi-Oh GX to Anime.Yu Gi Oh GX, and Main.Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds to Anime.Yu Gi Oh 5 Ds.
I'm here to post the edit request idea I already mentioned in another thread. Basically, the current caption to the CM Disney page seems a bit spoilerish; I think it should be replaced, though I'm not sure by what. note

"The Daily Show has to be right 100% of the time; FOX News only has to be right once." - Jon Stewart3819: Archive pages aren't edited, ever, even for fixes like those.
3820, 3821: Done.
3822: Hmmmm...point taken. I'll reopen the thread and move it back over.

Two things for Monster.Fallout, since I did bring it up on the Special Efforts thread and heard okays for it:
- Myron of Fallout 2 should be slightly revised. We never do see him kill a hundred slaves, but he sure the hell bragged about it and demonstrated a knowing disregard of human life in the process. I'd have it fixed like thus:
- Myron, a chemist who, in exchange for money and whores, invented the drug “Jet” for the Mordino crime family. He brags about having perfected the drug’s recipe by experimenting on about a hundred slaves with heart conditions, killing nearly all of them by inducing heart attacks, and has no remorse for their deaths. Not only does he take pride in how many lives have been ruined by his drug, but, if the Player Character is female and has low intelligence, he will also attempt to rape her by giving her a drugged drink.
- Salt-Upon-Wounds of Fallout: New Vegas should be removed. The White Legs are an Always Chaotic Evil group, and his actions as described did set the scene for Honest Hearts, but that was an Offstage Villainy.

I now go by Graf von Tirol.
As part of a transplant, I'd have this added to Monster.Anime And Manga (and please make sure it's alphabetized; the entries towards the end are this way; I'd also alphabetize the Metroid entry and remove the Hana Yori Dango example as it was undiscussed leading up to the locking and not even a good entry at that as determined by the thread that day):
For Horny Devils:
