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.

People were ranting about it I think.

People were going on long philosophical rants in the description and adding Real Life people.

In The Lonely Island, under But You Screwed One Fish!, the word it's is used instead of its. Very minor, I know, but it bothers me so much.

Brother–Sister Incest should have a link to Incest Subtext added. Also, you seem to have forgot to deleted all the folders when you added the link to the sub page with the moved content.

The commented out part in the description can be put back, with Incest Yay being replaced with Incest Subtext.

The example folders can be taken off the main page, because all the examples are already on subpages.

For Ctrl Alt Del:

Designated Hero needs to be taken off the main page. (already moved to YMMV)

Needs to be added to the main page:
* FalseCause: [[http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20110502 Rogues take less damage from falls. Rogues wear light clothing. Therefore, no clothing would be even better.]]

FanHaters needs to be taken off the main page

For the Inheritance Cycle page, please remove the tropes "Ho Yay," "Foe Yay" and "Freud Was Right." All the examples listed are huge stretches to qualify, and seem to be the result of the same person with an overactive imagination. If anything, such a subjective observation should be under YMMV anyway.

Those items seem to be a hangover from the Accentuate the Negative bashing that got the page locked in the first place, an impression that is reinforced by a trip to the site they are pointing at. Removed.

In Disney page, there is one villain that counts (and is even mentioned of the film page). Most users evidently supported him being there, but one insisted and deleted him just before you blocked the page.

The description was:

  • Though it isn't the case for most of his incarnations, it's rather easy to see Pegleg Pete this way in The Prince and the Pauper. He plundered and terrorized the innocent, peaceful people of England, and worst of all, he claimed that he is doing this in the name of the king!

So can you add him please? He should go below the mad doctor.

He meets all the five criterias. Pete is usually either Played for Laughs, Anti-Villain, or most usually Harmless Villain. Not is The Prince And The Pauper. He meets all five criterias. He dies in the end, and neither one of his incarnations never died before.

Sorry, I'm not adding more examples to the page, 9Darthmaul, largely because of your edit warring. The page will remain as-is for an indefinite period of time.

The Irate Gamer was locked for edit warring from what appear to be single-purpose accounts. Couldn't they have just been banned and the page carried on like normal? Considering the bashing he gets, I had seen virtually no vitriol on the page before then.

That said, the "Troll" listing is poorly written in all-lowercase and probably shouldn't be there. Please remove it.

I removed Troll. If you want to fully revise the article and make it compliant with TV Tropes standards, do a Sandbox version and let me know when it's ready to transplant.

Regarding the lock, the point isn't that we can ban people. We can always do that. But some pages just attract flaming and vandalism. We could ban half the Internet and someone would still show up and try to deface them. Locking them saves everybody a lot of trouble.

for The Bible

Bookends: Genesis and Revelation both make use of vastly more blatant super natural elements than the books between them. They are also a Distant Prologue and Distant Finale respectively.

So Bad It's Horrible has two quotes instead of one, plus the image should be on the right.

Write up what you want it changed to. We aren't going to write it for you.

I'm sorry, although I think this needs editing I can't really see a perfect way to make the edit. I think the better thing to do would be to change the pages concerned to:

"A character who holds view which are a MISREPRESENTATION of [meme]"

Although according onto the posts by Madrugada in the thread I created the articles are not about the strawman at all. In that case I suppose I should have posted to Trope Repair Shop, but if the pages are intended to refer to the strawman fallacy then I feel that should be done.

Is there any reason why the in-universe examples on Perverse Sexual Lust got deleted and the page got locked? It's not like the main page was Fetish Fuel related, just the now deleted Troper Tales. Plus the page had a big warning saying not to add real life examples.
