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.

Would someone please be kind enough to add a "now available in our Trope Co catalog" to Fetish Fuel, please? And come to think of it, the mods might want to keep an eye on Fetish Fuel as well. (I tried to make it as worksafe as possible, but it may need a little tweaking just in case. If so, I apologize for any trouble I caused with that entry.) Thanks!
On Characters.Kill La Kill, Hiroyuki Yoshino and Shin-ichiro Miki should have the Creator/ namespace.
...oh, it's not locked any more. I did the edit myself.

On Monster.Super Sentai, please strike the entire Unsorted section. The entries listed under Unsorted are ZC Es and do nothing to explain how and why the villains qualify as CM villains.

Together, we are one.One more request for today: on Monster.Kamen Rider, please strike the entries for Apollo Geist and Scorpio Zodiarts. The former is one-sentence entry that fails to go into detail about Geist's crimes and seems more like a Generic Doomsday Villain. The latter is poorly written and flunks the heinous standard found in Fourze.
EDIT: Also on Monster.Kamen Rider, please de-spoiler the Eyes Dopant entry as well as all of the entries under the Kamen Rider OOO section.

7623: Done except editing YouKnowThatShow.Film, as that's an archive.
7624: Fixed.
7627, 29, and 30: Done.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.Cheers Telcontar!
Together, we are one.On Work Pages In Main, please add to the list:
On Creator Pages In Main, please remove:
- Chris Comerford (cutlisted)
- Brain Scratch Commentaries (moved to namespace)
- Brony Foundation For The Arts (moved to namespace)
On Wick Namespace Migration, please add in the not-so-complex list:

You may also want to add those three to Locked Pages, although we do hope it's only temporary.

On Star Wars, the link to Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor needs fixing.
Thanks Telcontar. BTW, on suggesting a Lit Sandbox; otherwise we'd BOTH go crazy

At Fallen Creator, this item:
- Director Tod Browning had a string of successful silent-film collaborations with LonChaney, and helmed the seminal talkie vampire film ''Film/{{Dracula}}'', but after the initial disaster of ''Film/{{Freaks}}'', it was all downhill. However, Freaks ''has'' become VindicatedByHistory and is now considered an underrated classic.
Should be changed to

Stumbled on un-namespaced work(s) when cleaning the Ambiguity Index:
- Agent327
should be added to the "A" subsection
- SeraMyu
should be added to the "S" subsection
and
- TeenMom
and
- TracyBeakerReturns
should be added to the "T" subsection of Work Pages In Main

Actually, no need for that, since I'm namespacing them all (and they're done!).
In the case of Sera Myu, please put it in the Wick Namespace Migration under:
* '''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/relatedsearch.php?term=Main/SeraMyu Sera Myu]]''' - Theatre/
Also from the Migration page, you can now take Battlestar Galactica (Classic) off of there, since it's done.
... God, I hope we wouldn't have to do this for migrations much longer...

I now go by Graf von Tirol.At The Prophet Muhammad page, It links to a redirect to the Main/ namespace for Cartoon History Of The Universe (A redirect with a "The" at the beginning.) So, I'd like a mod to change it from: The Cartoon History Of The Universe to: ComicBook.Cartoon History Of The Universe (Replacing the . with a /)

I've just chucked my guts up over reading about Holocaust denial, Nazi apologists and those who regard Adolf Hitler as a hero. I thought a note on the page would be worth having. Something along these lines may be appropriate.
- Despite the staggering amount of evidence and testimonies from Nazi officers as well as Hitler's own recorded plans there is one Conspiracy Theory after another on how Hitler is either a hero for his actions or framed for the atrocities he had ordered and committed. Let's just say the amount of facts on this issue are so vast that it is hard to credit claims of it all being a hoax as the barbarism was sadly treated in the day because it was too unbelievable and leave it at that.
And/or maybe this.
- Truth in Television: A minority today believe that Hitler was not responsible for any of the atrocities he committed, to the point of editing movies to make him look like a hero. Not only was whitewashing common practice during the Nazi reign (forging the swastika in places of historic significance for example) the world was simply not prepared that such evil could exist and it was only later that they were able to accept stories such as the Holocaust.
Are people adding in Hitler apologia on the article? If not, why invite it?
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"They can't, it's locked, but I see your point. I'm just highly disturbed by it and thought it might be worth addressing if there's a way we could.
Currently reading up My Rule Fu Is Stronger than YoursNo, it has little to do with our mission. If people want to be conspiracy-mongering morons, they can do it elsewhere. Telling them to cut it out only adds a sense of legitimacy to the stupid.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"And that crap's probably copypasta from Encyclopedia Dramatica and we don't want that.

BTW, it's going to be awhile until the TV Sandbox is ready to be launched. I'm going through Literature now, and then TV will follow.
