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.

Please add Abaddon to Monster.Live Action TV under the other Supernatural entries...same page, make the Nogitsune part of the Teen Wolf tree

Add Paul Sarone to Monster.Film

Add to same page:

  • Noel Winters of Harry Brown. He is a psychotic, misogynistic, sadistic teenager and the leader of the gang of chavs living on the estate, and he often abuses women for sexual pleasure while also engaging in regular acts of brutality, a lot of which he films on his phone. He and his gang regularly abuse Leonard to the point that the old man eventually tries to fight them with a bayonet - but the gang overpower and kill him, whilst filming his death on one of their phones. Although (whilst captured and being tortured by Harry) Marky admits that, whilst he and the others only really meant to scare Leonard, Noel was the one who ended up stabbing him. And Noel himself even urinates on the dead man's body. Later, during a riot on the housing estate, he is found hiding with help from his also-psychotic uncle. Having been confronted by Harry (and also having found a female police officer trying to call for help), Noel's uncle tells him to strangle the officer, and Noel takes pleasure in sadistically strangling the woman - and actually encourages her to struggle for her life, as he watches her die.

Add all of these to the Monster film page

Add these to Monster.Live Action TV under the heading Oz

Add these entries to Monster.Comic Books

On Monster.Video Games And Visual Novels add this under the Elder God for the Legacy of Kain tree:

  • The Hylden Lord is the commander of the Hylden, a race banished to a demon dimesion. He possessed Mortanius and used him to corrupt the Guardians of the Pillars of Nosgoth by murdering Ariel and leaving her lover Nupraptor to find her body and drive the Guardians insane with his grief. This in turn corrupted the Pillars and caused the land to decay and rot with the Guardians. With the corruption of the Pillars, he possesses Janos Audron and rebuilds the Sarafan order of vampire hunters, driving them to endangerment and establishing tyrannical control of human civilization. He uses this control to construct a network of Glyph-powered machines around Nosgoth to direct the energies of the Device, an ancient Hylden war weapon. With Janos imprisoned and deformed to power the Device, the Hylden Lord plans to activate the Device and kill all non-Hylden life in Nosgoth through the Glyph network, including the human Sarafan that serve him loyally.

Add to Monster.Literature here for Frankenstein

Rewrites for Film:

Harry Brown: Noel Winters is a psychotic, misogynistic, sadistic teenage leader of the gang of chavs living on the estate; he often abuses women for sexual pleasure while also engaging in regular acts of brutality, a lot of which he films on his phone. He and his gang regularly abuse Leonard to the point that the old man eventually tries to fight them with a bayonet - but is overpowered and kill by the gang, while they film his death on one of their phones.

And Noel himself even urinates on the dead man's body. Later, during a riot on the housing estate, he is found hiding with help from his also-psychotic uncle. Having been confronted by Harry (and also having found a female police officer trying to call for help), Noel's uncle tells him to strangle the officer, and Noel takes pleasure in sadistically strangling the woman - and actually encourages her to struggle for her life, as he watches her die!
Insidious: Chapter 2: The Woman In White, AKA Michelle Crane, is a vicious ghost. When she was mortal, Crane tormented her young son Parker after Parker's father left them. She'd force Parker into girls' clothing and to believe himself as a little girl. When Parker grew up, she forced him to become a twisted Serial Killer who would be dubbed The Bride In Black. Parker, at her urging, would claim fifteen victims before her death, whereupon he committed suicide. When her son possessed the hero Josh, Michelle tried to get him to murder Josh's entire family, Josh's children included.
Pompeii: Roman Senator Corvus is a sneering, arrogant aristocrat who feels he can do whatever he wants. Starting the film with a brutal slaughter of a Celtic tribe, Corvus murders the mother of the young hero Milo, though the boy escapes and later becomes a slave at the city of Pompeii. When Milo becomes attached to the Roman noblewoman Cassia, whom Corvus lusts for, Corvus promises to spare him for Cassia's sake, but has him and another Gladiator named Atticus chained in the Arena to be slaughtered by Roman soldiers to recreate Corvus's victory over the Celts. When Cassia protests, Corvus tells her he simply wants her as a possession that he can break and that she will "stay broken," to beg and crawl as he demands. Corvus blackmails her family into agreeing to the marriage by threatening to accuse them of treason and murders Cassia's father when Mt. Vesuvius erupts. To get to safety, Corvus kills innocent civilians and even abandons his loyal dragon Proculus while attempting to abduct Cassia and escape.
The Punisher (1989): Lady Tanaka, the leader of the Yakuza, intends to muscle in on the Italian mafia's territory. To do this, Tanaka has the bosses' young children kidnapped with anyone who might interfere murdered, including a harmless babysitter. Tanaka promises to return the children, but her true intention is to sell them into child slavery. When Frank Castle himself is captured with his friend, Tanaka has them tortured on a modern-day version of the rack. At the end, when the most powerful mob boss has teamed up with Frank to get the kids back, Tanaka holds a knife to the child's throat and orders his father to kill himself. She admits there's not even a guarantee she'll keep her word but says a small chance is better than none.
Striking Distance: Jimmy Detillo isaccused of excessive force on a suspect by the heroic honest cop Tom Hardy. Jimmy seemingly kills himself, but it is revealed that he fakes his death to cover up the fact that Jimmy was the Serial Killer dubbed "The Polish Hill Strangler," who has been murdering young women by throttling them with a rope. To get revenge on Hardy, Detillo begins murdering any woman he's had a relationship with in the past and does his best to frame Hardy for the murder. At the end, Jimmy kidnaps Tom, his current girlfriend and Jimmy's own cousin with intent to murder them all. When Jimmy's father, the police chief, interferes and tries to stop Jimmy, Jimmy guns him down without a second thought before trying to kill the others again.

[nja][down]Consistency's sake.

Addition to Tabletop Games section of Sex Slave:

The Dungeons And Dragons Splat book Legions of Hell describes Glasya, the Archdutchess of Malbolge, the Sixth Hell, as a cruel sadist who deals with trespassers in her realm by casting them into torture chambers. Unless they are male and very attractive, in which case it might be worse; she has been known to either force them into this situation or offer it as an alternate punishment. (It's suggested that she kills or imprisons most of them eventually anyway, once they bore her.)

I'd like to request the following edits to Naruto:

First off, please delete the What An Idiot section from Rin Nohara's folder, and add this:

Ass Pull: Some fans see Rin's involvement in Obito's Face–Heel Turn as including several examples, such as having been made into the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, then forcing Kakashi to kill her, and later these events, down to the compulsion to commit suicide, being the result of Madara's plan.

And then for Obito Uchiha's section:

  • Can't Un-Hear It: Many fans consider Megumi Han's performance as young Obito to be a lot more memorable than that of his original voice actor, Sosuke Komori.
  • Wangst: Many consider his reason for turning evil - the death of Rin, his childhood crush - to be poorly executed as a Freudian Excuse.

Thanks!

Double Standard needs SailorMoon namespaced to Anime/

Drunkard's Walk needs two instances of Manga/SailorMoon changed to Anime/SailorMoon and one unnamespaced instance in an internal link [[SailorMoon Sailor Senshi]] changed to [[Anime/SailorMoon Sailor Senshi]]

Moral Guardians needs a first instance of SailorMoon namespaced to Franchise/ and a second instance changed to Anime/

Naruto's YMMV needs SailorMoon namespaced to Franchise/

Sonichu needs two separate instances of SailorMoon namespaced to Franchise/

In Monster: Anime and Manga the phrase "the above-mentioned [[Manga/SailorMoon Wiseman]], and possibly" needs to be deleted (since the entry is made redundant by aphabetization), and a second instance of Manga/SailorMoon needs changing to Franchise/SailorMoon

In Brown Eyes, the Sailor Moon example needs cross-wicking to match with what's on the series character page. Please replace with:

Please add the following write-ups to the Complete Monster pages:

To Monster.Film, add:

  • Highwaymen: Fargo is a Serial Killer who travels around the States in his 72' El Dorado to use his car in vehicular homocides. Ever since he was a kid he had a disturbing fascination with car accidents until he decided to stage his own. Now a middle-aged insurance investigator, he primarily targets women, murdering the protagonist James Cray's wife in front of him before convincing the authorities that it was an accident. This started a years-long feud as James incapacitated Fargo in revenge, before Fargo disappeared from the hospital as a cripple to continue his killing spree elsewhere. He sends Cray photos of the deaths he causes to taunt him for being unable to stop him, leaving a bodycount of at least nine women and several others. He goes out of his way to torment his victims, such as tying a crashed car with two victims inside to the back of his own and dragging them along the road at high speed. He later kidnaps a victim whom Cray had initially saved to take her back to the motel where he had previously killed his wife, putting her in a red dress to re-enact the murder solely to mess with Cray.

  • Kiss the Girls: Casanova is a Serial Killer and sexual sadist who kidnaps young women and locks them up in an underground dungeon in the woods. He considers himself a "collector", drugging and tying up his victims to create a captive harem and forcing them to take part in his twisted fantasies. Any girls who break his rules (escaping from their restraints, talking to the other girls) are either murdered by lethal injection or tied to a tree outside to die of starvation and exposure. While it initially seems that he's so deluded that he actually believes he "loves" them, he later admits that it's purely about possessing something he wants and that he wants to break them down completely through rape and torture. He has an allegiance with another Serial Killer from the West Coast known as "the Gentleman Caller", but their connection is purely for his own gratification as he considers the other one expendable and simply wants to share his crimes with another sicko. He's eventually revealed to be one of the cops working on the case and visits Kate, his only victim who escaped by herself, to rape and kill her. When she fights him off, he tears out the gas tubes in her kitchen to blow them both up. When detective Alex Cross arrives after having figured out his identity, Casanova taunts him by pointing out how he molested Cross's niece, one of his last victims, for more than a week.

And on the same page please replace the Demolition Man write-up with this:

  • Demolition Man: Simon Phoenix hails from a dystopian era of Los Angeles when the city was being overrun with violent criminals in the late 20th century, where he indulged in theft, kidnapping, rape, arson, and murder to his heart's content. He starts the movie by holding 30 people hostage and demanding a ransom, when in fact he already killed them all for his perverse amusement before the cops even arrived. He manipulates the Cowboy Cop John Spartan into making a misjudgment that makes him seem responsible for their deaths in the raid on Simon's compound, sending them both to a cryo-prison for decades. He's woken up in 2032, when the rebuilt megacity of San Angeles has been turned into a crimeless nanny state after a great calamity. Simon indulges in his freedom to be a maniac and spread chaos again, casually murdering almost everyone who gets in his way by beating people to death, gouging out someone's eye to bypass a retinal scan, hacking into a computer to impale someone to a wall, or simply shooting them. He was unfrozen by the new society's benevolent dictator Dr. Raymond Cocteau to assassinate Edgar Friendly, the major rebel leader trying to undo the oppressive system. Simon sets out on this task with murderous glee, killing many innocent bystanders in the process. He teams up with his old gang after they're unfrozen and eventually murders Cocteau to start a new lawless dystopia where he and his minions can commit crimes all day. He starts by unfreezing every criminal locked up in the cryo-prison, including murderers, rapists, and serial killers, and gunning down all the technicians because he no longer has any use for them. Phoenix is one of the poster boys for the malicious type of Chaotic Evil villain, inherently hating rules simply because they hold him back from being a murderous psycho.

On Monster.Comic Books, please add this write-up, indented as the third Sin City example. On the same page, the potholed page image should also be namespaced to ComicBook.Sin City.

  • The Colonel, also known as The Salesman, is one of the top enforcers in Herr Wallenquist's Basin City Mob. He runs a clandestine division of contract killers and occasionally performs the hits himself. He mentors new trainees to shed all redeeming traits so they can become remorseless killing machines, inducing one of them into murdering the only man she ever loved before assigning her the code name "Blue Eyes". His largest operation is the 'Human Resources' division, a massive kidnapping, sex slave-trading, brainwashing, organ harvesting and industrial-strength porn production operation. He kills off one of his own henchmen through Eye Scream on the off chance that the hero Wallace might track the minion down, after previously having the man's male lover stabbed to death with over a dozen knives. He has an alliance with a Dirty Cop named Leibowitz, but when Leibowitz's loyalty might falter, he orders his son's arm broken as a warning and threatens to kill his whole family. The Colonel is pretty obviously a sociopath who displays no character traits other than hinting at a wish to direct the bodies of the people around him, to see their "full potential" realized.
