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.

Slight cleanup for Tarkin's entry at Star Wars

Despite having no Sith Powers, Grand Moff Tarkin is just as horrible. In the only movienote  in which he appears, he orders the destruction of a heavily populated and influential planet purely to make a point to Leia and seems quite willing to repeat the process ad infinitum if such is necessary to quash the Rebellion. The only emotion he shows at all at this prospect is a kind of cold satisfaction. The Star Wars Expanded Universe only makes him worse, by showing that he codified the Empire's policy of rule through fear as "The Tarkin Doctrine," and revealing that he first came to the Emperor's attention after he crushed a peaceful protest under his boots-by landing his Star Destroyer on them.

For Monster.AnimeAndManga, please add the following entries:

  • On From the New World, K demonstrates why Kamisu 66's Ethics Committee is so desperate to prevent the creation of Akkis. Even before his PK powers came to fruition, K alarmed the village and his family with his sociopathic tendencies. According to Tomiko Asahina, his subconscious worldview was obsessed with destructive, murderous images and impulses. When the Ethics Committee fails to take action, however, he develops PK and uses these powers to brutally rip his teacher into a bloody stain on the classroom. K becomes euphoric in learning that his Death Feedback does not work and he proceeds to butcher every person in his path with a horrifying smile. On the first day of his rampage alone, he kills 1,000 people (including everyone from his class). Then, after weeks of killing, he finally falls ill and visits the hospital Tomiko worked in. Tomiko and Doctor Tsuchida eventually succeed in poisoning and killing K… but not before the bastard blows Tsuchida's head off with his PK.

[up][up]Thanks for the addition. However, after chatting with Occasional Exister, I've concluded that Emperor Daikangitei does not count because we only see him during that one particular instance. Despicable as he was in that scene, it would be difficult to get a full assessment of the emperor as a person from just that one scene

Therefore, on Monster.Anime And Manga, please strike the entry on Emperor Daikangitei of From the New World. The From the New World entries should thus be revised to the following:

  • On From the New World, K demonstrates why Kamisu 66's Ethics Committee is so desperate to prevent the creation of Akkis. Even before his PK powers came to fruition, K alarmed the village and his family with his sociopathic tendencies. According to Tomiko Asahina, his subconscious worldview was obsessed with destructive, murderous images and impulses.

K becomes euphoric in learning that his Death Feedback does not work and he proceeds to butcher every person in his path with a horrifying smile. On the first day of his rampage alone, he kills 1,000 people (including everyone from his class). Then, after days of endless killing, he finally falls ill and visits the hospital Tomiko worked in. Tomiko and Doctor Tsuchida eventually succeed in poisoning and killing K… but not before the bastard blows Tsuchida's head off with his PK.

Please add the following to No Real Life Examples, Please!, as per "Real Life section maintenance" thread in Long Term Projects forum:

* AllJewsAreCheapskates: Ethnic stereotype.

* GoodParents: Too subjective and subject to arguing which parents are or aren't "good", and too common to trope in real life.

Could you please add this candidate for the Monster.Western Animation subpage under the film section. It goes as follows:

  • Dag, the leader of the pack of coyotes, in Barnyard. Unlike the other coyotes who kill for food, Dag seems to get more out of killing than he probably should. This is shown when he shows a group of chickens his chain which has severed chicken legs on it. When faced with Otis's father Ben, he murders him and then shames Otis by telling him that his father would've survived had he been there for him. He then makes a compromise with Otis that stated that he and his pack of coyotes could get a couple of animals every night, and if Otis didn't comply, Dag and his coyotes would personally slaughter everything in the farm that Otis held dear, including possibly the farmer. He then tries to spitefully eat the young chick Maddy just because she called him a "meaner."

On Monster.Live Action TV please replace the Dick Roman example in Supernatural with this writeup

  • ** The leader of the Leviathans, commonly known by assumed name Dick Roman, wasted no time in establishing himself as one of the worst Supernatural's ever had to offer. Not content with simply lurking in the shadows to feed on humanity, Roman planted his minions in key positions, murdering and devouring every human in the way. Taking control of a major company, Roman began to place chemicals in corn syrup so humanity would be rendered helpless as cattle for the Leviathans to feed on. The Winchesters, who he knew could prove an issue, he framed for a nation-wide killing spree. Other monster species were seen as 'competition,' with Roman planning to exterminate them as well after manipulating them into helping him. A Bad Boss even by the show's standards, Roman was known to devour his minions in a fit of rage or 'bib' them: forcing them to devour themselves. Few villains on Supernatural have managed to inspire the same fear or hatred as Roman did, and his killing of Bobby Singer only deepened the hatred the Winchester brothers had for him.

Same series, replace Lilith with Ambar's post here. And cut Zachariah from these entries.

Same page, add Gerard Argent from Teen Wolf from this post but remove the spoilers.

Same page, remove spoilers for Alice Noon from Sons Of Anarchy

Same page add

  • Melakon of the world Ekos, a villain of Star Trek: The Original Series was a devotee of Naziism introduced to his people in an attempt to soften it by a former Starfleet officer named John Gil. Shunning the attempt to water down Hitler's philosophy, Melakon decided to embrace Hitler's path. He overthrew his mentor and formed a fascist regime on his homeworld while trying to organize a new holocaust on an entire neighboring planet called Zeon. Before murdering his mentor, Melakon was denounced by him as nothing more as a self seeking adventurer: a traitor to his people and all they stood for.

Add to Monster.Film

  • Major Taussig in the World War Two film Hornets' Nest is a cold, cruel man who is firmly distinct from the other reasonable German Soldiers. A member of the SS who has no compunction in committing war crimes, Taussig spends the film trying to murder or torture any 'Partisans' he comes across in the Italian countryside. At the film's opening, Taussig shows off his methods by gathering every man, woman and child in the village, lining them up and having them all gunned down without batting an eye before taking the village as a base for his men.

  • Patrick Channing of The First Power is a satanic Serial Killer who makes a pact with the devil for supernatural power. With a huge string of corpses behind him, Channing offered the deaths to Satan by carving a pentagram into every villain, earning him the name "The Pentagram Killer." After being caught and executed, Channing revives and continues killing with the added twist that he now aims for revenge against the cop who caught him. His aim after that is simply to keep killing as many people as he can forever, with the added twist he can possess others as well.

  • Karl Hochman of the film The Ghost In The Machine is known as The Address-Book Killer for his predilection of obtaining victims from stolen address books. While driving to kill a victim, Karl is injured in a car accident and a freak electrical surge when he is hooked up to machinery results in his soul becoming digitized. Now free to continue his spree, he uses his powers to scan address books digitally and murder everyone on the lists. Now able to manipulate any electrical, Karl initiates electrical fires, causes explosions and uses electrical shocks to claim new victims with seemingly no way to escape him.

  • Dr. Berrisford of the film Bad Dreams is a mild, unassuming man who runs a hospital for those with mental trauma. In reality, he is a sadist with a god-complex and wishes to test his theories on suicide on his patients. Berrisford manipulates his mentally fragile patients emotionally to make them snap, resulting in them killing themselves and others. He has one leap out her window to the street, and has another throw her head into a turbine. One patient he leads to the roof to manipulate her into jumping off before the hero of the movie rescues her. Berrisford simply tries to push them off himself, after having mentally tortured said patient the entire film by planting the idea in her head that the ghost of a cult leader who'd tried to kill her was haunting her.

  • Fender Tremolo of the film Cyborg makes the most of a world After the End where he can do what he wants. The leader of a group of vicious marauders called The Pirates, Fender seems to want nothing so much as to wipe out every survivor he can. Fender murdered the girlfriend of The Hero Gibson and her son, kidnapping her daughter as a pet and servant. He murders nearly everyone he comes across and takes special delight in tormenting Gibson himself. When he finally captures Gibson, he crucifies him on a mast. While he wants to cure himself of the plague that's infected so many, Fender has no compunction slaughtering everyone else and scenes set before show he was just as evil before the widespread plague hit: he just needed something to set him loose.

  • The Takashi Miike film Lesson Of The Evil gives us Seiji Hasumi. Seemingly a mild-mannered teacher, Hasumi is a dangerous Serial Killer who loves sadistic murders and killing. Teaming up with a killer in America, Hasumi killed many people there before murdering his partner as well. At his school in Japan, Hasumi begins murdering students and 'overbearing' parents before deciding to simply massacre everyone at school one night with a shotgun. Even after being caught, he decides to fake insanity to escape responsibility in court as a new game.

  • Major Rocha of the The Elite Squad sequel The Enemy Within begins his reign of terror in Rio's slums by forming a militia and slaughtering anyone who won't give his men a cut of the profits. Any who resist the militia are executed, along with any witnesses. When Mathias, one of the Cowboy Cop heroes is getting info from a drug dealer, Rocha murders the dealer- and then shoots Mathias in the back. When two journalists get too close to the truth, Rocha tortures them, kills one, then has the other raped and killed before burning the bodies. when the main Anti-Hero gets too close, Rocha tries to kill him as well. A brutal thug of a human being, Rocha eclipses anyone else in the films for his violence and corruption.

  • Mick Cutler of the third Resistance game was incarcerated in prison before the Chimera attack. Deciding to use the prison as a base, Cutler ran it with absolute savagery and barbarity. He disposed of any potential threats and led raids to capture other human survivors, using them for gladiator games to entertain himself and his followers or possibly cannibalizing them. Mick is first seen brutally murdering a doctor, and placing another The Hero Capelli into a gladiator arena. Even when the Chimera discovered the location and attacked, Mick tried to stop Capelli from actions that may have saved them just to keep his own power.

  • in Gunnm, Most iterations of Desty Nova have been amoral at best and have performed inhumane experiments on humans all for the sake of research on Karma. The latest incarnation, Super Nova, powered by two Brain Chips, direct access to Melchizadek, and an afro in his introduction betrayed the main characters and the other two clones of himself to Aga Mbadi, and proceeds to gleefully tell Alita how LADDER is going to send down an army after the Z.O.T.T. to wipe out The Scrapyard and capture all people on Tiphares for their brains. He then destroyed Alita physically and mentally by telling her her brain was replaced with a chip and deconstructing her body, causing her remains to fall down a shaft all while maniacally laughing about it and celebrating over her despair and sadness, which disturbed even his other clones. When he asks if the clones would like to work together with him and they politely decline, stating that their methods have grown too different, he uses his power to kill NovaPod and would have killed Nova X if he didn't unplug communication. All in his introduction. While various Novas have been Faux Affably Evil or Affably Evil, Super Nova is just plain evil.

    • Angel Valentine shows he's a nasty customer by ambushing the heroine Kotonoha and tying her down before sexually assaulting her. He gleefully enjoys seeing her struggle and shifting through her multiple personalities until she realizes she's helpless. Later, he decides to murder two girls he was in charge of protecting solely to piss off Kotonoha's escort Morito by presenting him with their dismembered arms.
    • Morito's master. She's openly talks about using children as experiments and making them into soldiers, and has no problems with getting rid of them when they outlive their use. One of experiments with children is so she could gain the ability to use "Dead Language", she used 10000 subjects as guinea pigs, of whom 90 percent died or were incapacitated. When an experiment was successful she would chop the limbs of those that it worked on, and graft it onto herself.

    • Rando from the Getter Robo series was an Evil Overlord whose mission was to Take Over the World even if he had to kill every last human on it. Starting with mass-murder, Rando forcibly converted his victims to mindless killing machine cyborgs and unleashed them on the rest of humanity. He had no compunction using nuclear weapons on citie as well, all borne out of his desire to rule the world.

Given the discussion that happened here forward, I guess I'll submit the following item for the FAQ folder of The Content Policy and the 5P Circuit:

Q: Are we allowed to make forum threads about works processed by 5P?
A: If it was voted "clean and keep", a forum thread is relatively safe as long as it is restricted to talking about the clean parts. Anything with a stronger judgement is discouraged on the forums.
