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.

Please add the following to No Real Life Examples, Please!:

* MinionWithAnFInEvil: Evil trope.

* TheTysonZone: The trope as a whole invites gossip about real life celebrities, and "bizarre" is subjective.

should be changed to

I took your advice, and also looked up what episodes Vermionous Skumm appeared in.

  • Verminous Skumm from Captain Planet and the Planeteers. While the other eco-villains were too much of a caricature to be really scary, this doesn't apply to this disgusting rat-thing whose actions are almost always portrayed in a much worse light than those of the other villains. "Mind Pollution" had him peddling mind-affecting drugs to teenagers (one of which was Linka's cousin, who died as an indirect consequence of his intoxication) just for the joy of ruining their lives and those of their friends and families. "A Formula for Hate" had him harassing a kid who's HIV positive and spreading lies about AIDS just because the kid's an easy target. Another episode has him trying to force toxic food down the captured Planeteers' mouths to kill them in a needlessly and horrifically painful way. "If It's Doomsday, This Must Be Belfast" has him planting a Nuclear Bomb in Jerusalem's Temple Mount, baiting an Israeli or a Palestinian to set it off (as well as bring nukes into The Troubles and apartheid South Africa).
  • Fire Lord Ozai from Avatar: The Last Airbender is a genocidal, child-abusing fascist dictator who has dedicated weeks at a time and large portions of his national army to hunting down and killing a twelve-year-old and his friends. He forced Ursa into marrying him, and tried to kill her old lover out of spite. He obtained the throne when he manipulated Ursa into murdering his father to usurp the throne from his grieving older brother Iroh. He then thanked her with banishment from the Fire Nation and threatened to hunt them down and kill the children if she took them with her. He physically abused his son Zuko by burning his face for speaking out of turn, and tried to shot him with lightning when he decides to join Aang. He manipulated his loyal daughter Azula into becoming his perfect little villain to the point where she snaps from the pressure, only to discard her to a completely meaningless position. Finally, his reaction to news of rebellions in the Earth Kingdom is to try to incinerate the entire continent. He doesn't regret any of those moments and feels no remorse for the consequences.

On The Wiki Rule, the line about the Lone Wolf Wiki should be moved and placed in a "Gamebooks" folder, and Lone Wolf need the "Literature/" namespace added.

I just realized that in my writeup for The Batman's Joker, "affecting" should be replaced with "infecting".

EDIT: [down] Good call.

[up][up][up] Much better; those are swapped in.

[up][up] Done. Are there any others on that page that need to go in that folder?

[up] I changed it to "poisoning" since "infecting" implies a biological agent and not a chemical attack.

We don't have enough information on Persona 5 to make a page yet. There's no need to rush.

I modified Skumm a bit. Captain Planet and the Planeteers I'll try and find that ep w/ the poison food.
EDIT: Couldn't find it, but here:

Captain Planet and the Planeteers has Verminous Skumm . While the other eco-villains were too much of a caricature to be really scary, this doesn't apply to this disgusting rat-thing, whose actions are almost always portrayed in a much worse light than those of the other villains.

As I'm trying to Cross Wiki Tiered by Name, I've discovered that Final Fantasy VII is locked.

Therefore, can you please add this as an example:

  • Tiered by Name: The summon Bahamut comes in 3 increasingly powerful versions, culminating in Bahamut Zero.

Start My Own was locked (I'm still shocked over how suddenly it happened), but it's not included yet in Locked Pages.

Caught a spelling error on No Real Life Examples, Please!, on the The Man Behind the Man entry. (It should be "behind", not "beyind".) It needs fixing.

Just a suggestion for What to Do If You Are Suspended, to add under "How Long Does it Last?": "If you have been suspended for spelling/grammar trouble, you will need to screen your edits through the "Help with English" thread [with a potholed link to the thread there] until it has been determined that you can sufficiently write examples to the standard of quality we expect of our editors." Something along those lines, since there seems to be a LOT of people who get suspended for that who don't realize that stipulation.

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

7084: Not done per the following posts about it.

7088 — 7092: Done.

7093: Done; I removed the line entirely, someone who's familiar with that work should come up with a new version if it's valid.

7094: Done.

7096: That's a good suggestion; it's under discussion.

I am unsure on that suggestion ... how many people do read the stipulations about suspension durations either there or in the herald PM?

[up][up] The more signs/notices are up, the more chance someone might actually read them. Having worked in retail, with three BIG SIGNS in particular pertaining to what we didn't do with balloons at one place, I'm always of the mindset you can never have too many signs or notices.

If nothing else, it gives the moderators something else to point to then the last time someone linked the thread in Edit banned/suspended, or posting the link themselves again.
