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.

I just found out that someone in the past made a (now deleted) YMMV page for Well-Intentioned Extremist (presumably to add Real Life examples). Thus, I think it should be added to the Permanent Red Link Club under the "Pages that were made to bypass an Example Sectionectomy" folder.
I found another article that should be added to the Permanent Red Link Club. This one belongs in the "Real Life subpages for items that don't allow Real Life examples" folder:
- EveryoneHasStandards.Real Life: In real life this is People Sit On Chairs, and the Real Life section was being used as a thinly veiled place to house examples of Even Evil Has Standards, which doesn't allow Real Life examples either.

Hi
I will have this list caught up by the end of the weekend, if not sooner. Keep bringing 'em in.
"In distress", my ass.
Afraid I'm going to be adding to the catch-up list, Wilbyr. 
For No Real Life Examples, Please!:
* {{Redshirt}}: Trope is for a character as a plot device, which requires a writer that real life lacks. Also, Redshirt is defined as being a good guy, making this also a morality trope.
* RedshirtArmy: Trope is for a group of characters as a plot device, which requires a writer that real life lacks. Also, RedshirtArmy is defined as being good guys, making this also a morality trope.
In uffish thought
- Item 83: Film/ namespace for The Princess Bride.
- Item 98: Change the third sentence opening to "However, if circumstances have forced them together". This is proper grammar and is how it is written on the actual list.

Actually, the Peter Anspach version, which is what ours is an exact copy of, doesn't have the comma. Although the comma would be grammatically correct.

Please add Captain Jack from Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, written up here, to Video Games.
"In distress", my ass.
And some more to keep Wilbyr busy in No Real Life Examples, Please!'. 
* WifeBasherBasher: Has the potential for flame bait and a sensitive real life issue. Closely related tropes EvenEvilHasStandards and PayEvilUntoEvil prohibit real life examples, as well.

That seems shoddy reasoning to me. How could that be flame bait?

Hi
6456, 6457, 6460, 6462, 6463, 6465-69, 6473, 6480, 6482, 6484, 6488: Done.
6464: Namespaced and the discussion is moved.
6470: All corrections are done. I removed the Collar 6 example under Examples Are Not Arguable; someone can submit a rewrite if they want it back.
6471: Done; I agree with Septimus on the CM thread needing to decide whether a page should be locked.
6474-76: That's a job for the RL People project...when they get the pages in the shape they need to be in, they can be addressed here.
6477, 78: I'm asking about those.
6481: I did the first, but other than potholes and namespaces, the text of Evil Overlord List isn't supposed to be altered, so the second is out.
6485: Added as is.
Also, guys, from here on out, I won't be accepting any edit request, especially for the CM pages, that doesn't have all its namespaces in order.
Consensus in the CM thread seems to be to cut Ygor from the Frankenstein films from the Film page.
Include a link to Mighty Avengers at Brian Michael Bendis, there is already an entry, without link.
Ultimate Secret Wars
Bit of a big one here.
From the Monster.Film page, Cut
- Miss Minchin
- Jennet AKA the Woman in Black
- God from 2010 Legion
- All the A Clockwork Orange examples
- The Enter The Dragon examples
- Lord Blackwood's entry and please put a note that Moriarity is from the 2009 Sherlock Holmes series
- Wah Sing Ku from Lethal Weapon
- Linton Barwick
- Doctor Terrence wynn
- The Assault On Precinct Thirteen examples
- Mark Collins from Twisted
- Peter and Paul from Funny Games
Also add that Tommy Udo is from Kiss Of Death
Oh, and cut Ygor from Monster.Film as well on Monster.Anime And Manga cut Louis L. Bridgette from Freezing Cut the Sheriff of Nottingham from Monster.Live Action TV

If I may, there are a few minor spelling, grammar, and formatting errors in the CM writeups for Iago and Richard III linked in the previous post; details here in Post 16544.

Doublepost, since the edit requests don't cover the same issues.
Forum discussion has resulted in the launch of Administrivia.Crosswicking. Some locked pages need to be updated with links to it:
- Administrivia: I am not sure where the page link should go, but I think that the "TV Tropes Terminology" section or the "Basic Page Building" section could work.
- Welcome to TV Tropes needs "cross-reference" in the "Adding New Media Articles" folder potholed to Crosswicking.
Hi
6490-92, 6495: Done.
6496: I put the Crosswicking link in the Basic Page Building section.
I'll look at that big list of additions later.
