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. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

Hate to ask this, but someone edit the Ninja entry on Final Fantasy VII and add "Partially justified as she's only sixteen during the game and is probably not too keen on killing people that have shown her nothing but kindness". It only seems fair to her character. Being a ninja doesn't mean you are skilled or heartless. Especially if the character is young and just trying to save her dying villiage from financial collapse.

On the Word Cruft page, can the Most Triumphant Example redlink either be changed, to its bluelinked namespace, Sugar Wiki, or removed?

Unless the redlinks present on the page are intentional?

Well, dude, if you want an example on that page edited, please first look at How To Write An Example to make sure that what you're requesting is, in fact, a legitimate edit. You're violating a whole bunch of rules.

4523 is done, both the addition and the page lock. We should be caught up now.

es, well, that's the thing. I KNEW that I probably was. That's why I bothered to check here in the first place. Can you really condemning me for being honest about it though?

Also, I'm not really comfortable talking about this after I received some very bad news about a friend of mine. So can, we just, you know, drop it?

"World Of Warcraft Review Calling the "Grats" to an award thing rude. Hey, if it's a new guy, he actually just did something that probably took some time, You say grats because it's Common freaking courtesy, Common courtesy being that if you got an achievement for winning a lottery you didn't freaking enter he gets grats for his minimal effort because that beats NO EFFORT. Did you camp out waiting for deathwing to come raze your face? NO! You got lucky and think it's more than someone getting to level 10 and unlocking specializations? Congratu-F***ing-Lations you have an elitism problem!"

What i meant by this was that i was insulted that Yahtzee thought "Grats" being given is a program, It's simply common courtesy, and of course, the design of it was meant to emulate Yahtzee's own style.

EDIT: Wait, this is for multiple pages? OH. Didn't realise that, sorry. This one's for Zero Punctuation's DMoF page.

I think this a YMMV thing. A lot of people hate his guts. Sometimes, I do too, but the man is cynical and that's why people like him. Cock jokes and cynicism. Excuse my language.

As discussed in the Complete Monster cleanup thread, the content of Monster.Jo Jos Bizarre Adventure and Monster.Hellsing needs to be moved to Monster.Anime And Manga.

Also, Dragon Ball and The Godfather need locking.

Realised I miht have had the wrong trope so hopfully this is right.

I'd like this on the Barack Obama page

Continuity Nod: In his 2008 acceptance speech he said "Sasha and Malia, I love you both more than you can imagine, and you have earned the new puppy that's coming with us to the White House." In his 2012 acceptance speech he tells his daughters "But I will say that for now one dog's probably enough".

on the False Rape Accusation page, A Passage To India needs changing to A Passage to India. At the moment, A Passage to India has 14 wicks, so that edit will take it over the 15 wicks necessary to get it onto the main Completed Namespace Migrations page.

For Fallen Creator, since THQ has effectively ceased to be starting today, I feel we should add this to its entry:

"Eventually, it filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on December 19, 2012, and its fate got sealed a month later when it had to auction off many of its properties, including major studios Relic and Volition to Sega and Koch Media respectively."

Or something like that.

On the Barack Obama page under Does This Remind You of Anything?, the entry for House is a Zero Context Example. It needs to be either removed, or someone needs to explain in what way House resembles Obama's '08 campaign (I for one don't remember anything remotely similar about them).

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

^ We're removing Main pages of works to promote the use of namespaced titles.

Could the redirect target of X Just X be changed from Zero Context Example to Zero-Context Example to break the double redirect?

We can't do that. Editing X Just X will break the faux-redlink and make it a bluelink.

Got another for Inheritance Cycle:

  • Surprise Party: In Brisingr, after Eragon returns to the Varden's camp and gets settled in, he heads off with Nasuada to what he thinks is going to be a boring dinner of political conversation with nobles who want to fawn over him and his dragon Saphira. But when Nasuada opens the flap to the tent, it turns out to be a surprise party arranged by her and Eragon's adoptive brother Roran featuring most of the villagers of his hometown of Carvahall and many other people he knows and likes.
