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.

I recommend to discuss it here first.

Also, you don't need to escape the markup. Moderator power includes post editing power.

VideoGame.Super Metroid used to be a redirect to Franchise.Metroid, but for some reason someone changed it into a stub and thus was cut listed. Main.Super Metroid still redirects to the main page, so I see no reason to keep a properly namespaced redirect red-linked like this.

On the Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking page, please change the wick for ArsonMurderAndJaywalking/StandUpComedy to ArsonMurderAndJaywalking/RecordedAndStandUpComedy. Thank you.

As the original page still exists, would it be possible for you to complete the redirect? Thank you very much.

Pretty significant typo on page Monster.Western Animation. Under the Mighty Max entry, the one for the character Spike, "attack a peaceful villains" should read "attack a peaceful village." Pretty big error, which could drastically change the interpretation for someone who doesn't realize it's a typo.

Hello, I am requesting the ability to alter my profile on the Tropers: Players League of Legends page since it's several months out of date now.

[up][up]I had a PM conversation with someone from your group a little while ago. As a result of that, the article was going to be moved to a different namespace so that it could still be edited. We are not going to spend the effort to edit the Tropers/ page for you, and the security rules that are in place prevent anyone but the troper whose handle matches the article from editing it.

The only namespace I can think of here is ForumSupport/, but that's not an official namespace so I am holding off on the page move.

Frankly, the article has nothing to do with our wiki. It could be maintained anywhere.

I'll start a discussion about that namespace, since there are other pages drifting around that may need one. If folks (I am not involved) decided to keep the abovementioned page, we can think about moving it to ForumSupport/.

Also, Litchi Hikari Club needs Oral Fixation Fixation changed to Oral Fixation.

So does Characters.Teen Wolf.

I requested to add under Compensated Dating, under media type Anime and Manga:

  • Subverted in episode 2 of Servant × Service. Taishi was suspected of this, for managing to placate Touko with a hug and a few yen, before Saya clears up the issue by noticing that they have the same surname—they are, in fact, siblings.

On Monster.Film, the RoboCop section needs a little clean-up, mostly from the franchise being now split is separate articles.

(Please note that I added a space for every instance of the brackets neutralizing the CamelCase around RoboCop, so that the whole thing be displayed as readable code. Don't forget to remove these spaces when making the change.)

* ''Franchise/RoboCop''
** ''Film/{{RoboCop|1987}}'' (1987)
*** Clarence Boddicker from the original movie has a blood-soaked criminal career. It's more play than work for him and his sadistically joyful gang of buddies. [[CruelAndUnusualDeath The cruel way he and his men shoot up Murphy]] is only the tip of the iceberg. There are moments where he makes wisecracks like an evil version of VideoGame/DukeNukem, but these are almost always followed by displays of brutality. For example, his most famous line among the ''[ =RoboCop= ]'' fandom comes when he breaks into a man's house to find him enjoying the company of several women, to which he comments, "Bitches, leave." He then proceeds to shoot the man in both knees, leave a live HE grenade next to him and calmly walks out.
*** Dick Jones in the original is the CorruptCorporateExecutive who orders Boddicker to do what he does. And sics ED-209 on [ =RoboCop= ].
** Cain, the Nuke cult leader from ''Film/RoboCop2'' goes further; he blows up a drug treatment center just because they try to cure people of their addiction to Nuke, cuts open the stomach of one of his minions after [ =RoboCop= ] has forced him to reveal the location of one of the labs making Nuke, and is willing to use [[ChildSoldiers children as soldiers]] in his gang. He later [[BadBoss kills all the members of his own gang]]. When he finds in his limo an illegal immigrant worker from the drug lab, pleading not to be turned over the police, he coldly shoots her and pulls her out. When he discovers that a corrupt and Nuke-addicted cop gave information to [ =RoboCop= ], he has him eviscerated whilst still alive, [[EvenEvilHasStandards scaring even his two accomplices, Hob and Angie]].
--->'''Angie:''' [[YouSaidYouWouldLetThemGo You said you were just gonna scare him!]]\\
'''Cain:''' (''with a psycho look on his face'') Doesn't he look scared?

You don't need to escape any of it, Saint. Post it as if you were writing it on the wiki and then the mods can open up your post to edit and thus retrieve the markup. That's a lot simpler than worrying about extra spaces or a lack of line breaks.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Dully noted. I wasn't too sure how to proceed with a block of text that size. (Edit: it still doesn't like quotes, though...)
