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.

I would like to add this to the Fan Works file of Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil:

Shadowchasers: Backwater seems to emphasize this Trope; each time the crime has occurred (both in Tsuki's backstory and with Solex) the perpetrator is depicted as the darkest and most vile type of villain; the first example was instrumental to Tsuki's Heel–Face Turn, while the second disgusted her, and given that she's a demon who was born and raised in the Abyss, that's really saying something.

Two edit requests related to My Immortal.

  1. My Immortal ought to get a line added "See also (My) Immortal: The Web Series", a Web Video adaptation."
  2. Main.My Immortal ought to become a disambig between My Immortal and (My) Immortal: The Web Series.

On DarthWiki.Fallen Creator, add this double bullet point under the point about Sonic Team.

  • Among Sonic fans, Dimps has become this. During the Sixth Generation, Dimps was praised by Sonic fans for keeping 2D Sonic alive at a time when Sonic leaped to 3D. When Sonic's Dork Age started setting in, Dimps' games were further praised for making quality Sonic games when the main console games were declining in quality. Then came Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode I. Suddenly, they took all of the blame for the game not truly being in the spirit of the original Genesis games, saying that Sonic Team alone should have made the game (cheerfully ignoring that it was the current leader of Sonic Team, Takashi Iizuka, that said he wanted it to be different from the original Genesis games). Afterwards, they somehow went from producing completely original Sonic games to Reformulated versions of the Sonic Team's games, and now Dimps gets a lot of flack for producing some of the worst games in the entire franchise (most notoriously Generations 3DS and Lost World 3DS), and even their earlier Sonic games like Sonic Advance and Sonic Rush now receive bile for being subpar.

Please help out our The History Of Video Games page.

Pending the edit, a piece of writing advice. Never use self-referential statements in an example description, like "[X] becomes this" or "has become this". Just get to the point of the example. In that thing above, just delete the first sentence.

Bubba The Love Sponge's entry on Professional Wrestling should be altered. Not only is it slightly inaccurate but more happened and more data has came out since the entry was likely put on the page. Here is my proposed replacement, three bullet points:

  • Radio DJ Bubba The Love Sponge being employed by TNA lead to a seemingly never ending stream of wall bangers. As an "interviewer", he demonstrated little wrestling knowledge and took away time from wrestlers to put himself over. He was paid more than actual wrestlers actually good at their jobs. Finally, he turned out to bully wrestlers backstage, figuring few would do much to him because he was friends with Hulk Hogan. Complaints to "management" from the rest of the staff solved nothing.
  • After the country of Haiti was devastated by earthquakes, Bubba the Love Sponge went on a spiel about the U.S. constantly helping other countries. This culminated in him screaming "Fuck Haiti!" TNA was doing a charity benefit for Haiti at the time. While higher ups continued to give zero reprimands to Bubba they were all to happy to garner one when Awesome Kong kicked Bubba's ass backstage for crossing her and for his disrespect to the numerous lives lost or ruined. After serious outcry and Kong's lesson in respect, he made one of the slimiest, most bullshit apologies ever where he basically said in no uncertain terms that he was apologizing but wasn't the least bit sorry for being a parasite who had insulted a country that just got devastated by the worst natural disaster in recorded history when his host decided to give its blood to those more deserving. Then Hogan came onto Bubba's radio show, stated he was completely on Bubba's side and joked that Kong was PMS-ing when she gave Bubba what was supposedly the worst beating Hogan had ever seen. This from a guy who got his leg broken when he asked for training to become a pro wrestler. Kong, one of TNA's best workers who was recommended by the likes of Low Ki, would later ask for release from the company.
  • Kong later sued Bubba for (allegedly) leaving threatening racist messages on her phone. In an instance worthy of another DVD set against a wall, Kong was a guest on another radio show which quickly turned into a setup by Bubba and the show's host, who was one of his friends. This was completely unprovoked, as the prior situation had been settled months before. Fortunately, Bubba's antics finally caught up with him and he was fired from TNA shortly after. For a third wall banger, he would later try to blackmail Hulk Hogan and his ex wife with a hidden camera, which is still a wall banger for TNA not nipping it in the bud.

I have migrated the work page for Flight 29 Down into the Series namespace and changed all but one wick leading to it. One index it is listed in is locked. Please change the link to Flight 29 Down to Series/Flight29Down to complete the migration.

In case you haven't gotten around to it yet, on Monster.Video Games, please replace the current Tomb Raider entry with the following tree:

  • Tomb Raider
    • Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness: Pieter Van Eckhardt is easily the most evil opponent Lara has had. He is not only a remorseless Serial Killer who collects alchemically altered body parts from his murder victims, he also systematically betrays and kills the other members of his Five Bad Band to make sure his secrets remain hidden. He seems to inspire loyalty solely through fear.
    • Tomb Raider (2013): Big Bad Father Mathias demonstrates narcissism in its ugliest form. His first diary entry reveals that he saw his fellow survivors from a 1982 plane crash in Yamatai as weak, stupid, and useless liabilities. As a result, he sends them sailing to their deaths simply to prove his theory that escaping the island by boat would be impossible. Eight years later, he forms the Solarii Brotherhood, an Ax-Crazy cult that worships Sun Queen Himiko. Mathias, however, sees no value in his followers nor Himiko, as the cult merely serves as a distraction for the other survivors to buy Mathias enough time to find the key to leaving the island by himself. As Lara Croft discovers, Mathias initiates new followers into his cult by having his recruits thrown into a chamber in the Geothermal Caverns and left to fend for themselves for days, even weeks, without water or food. This process destroyed his recruits' humanity and forced many to resort to cannibalism. Mathias also has no problem killing his own followers. When one of his men objects to destroying a bridge to stop Lara from escaping his hideout (which would kill some followers in the process), Mathias shoots the dissenter point blank and asks if there are any other “non-believers.” After noticing that Lara and Conrad Roth's helicopter was shot down by a sudden lightning strike, he attacks the crash site and ultimately tosses a hatchet to kill Roth. Afterwards, Mathias convinces Dr. Whitman to betray the survivors by recapturing Samantha Nishimura, Lara's best friend who is seen by Mathias as his key out of Yamatai. Not long afterwards, Mathias uses Whitman to distract a pair of Oni and leaves his ally to die a brutal death.

Also on Video Games, please add Lucky Quinn from Watch_Dogs. Here is the entry:

  • Watch_Dogs: Dermot "Lucky" Quinn leads the Chicago South Club, a syndicate involved in human trafficking, drug dealing, and cybercrime. Before the game begins, Lucky manipulates Rose Washington and Mayor Donovan Rushmore into an affair, then manipulates the Mayor in killing Rose so he can blackmail him later for more power. In the process of obtaining this blackmail material, he kills Lena Pearce. Lucky also has no tolerance for failure. He kidnaps Maurice's wife and sells her as a sex slave at a human trafficking auction after Maurice fails to kill Aiden, and kills a fugitive Aiden delivers after an operation goes south. Lucky later orders his men to kill Clara Lille when he's made aware of her working against him. As he lays dying, he declares that Chicago will build a statue of him while never knowing his true criminal nature, thanks Mayor Donovan for being "stupid enough to fall in love", and states that vigilantes like Aiden will be forgotten because they don't matter.

Also, Creator Pages In Main needs Yuna Kagesaki, Yusaku Yara and Zeljko Ivanek removed.

Finally, assuming that the lockage reasons are still applicable, Microsoft Windows ought to be locked and the corresponding entry on Locked Pages namespaced.

Please add this writeup to the Monster.Literature subpage.

  • The fairy tale book, The Pentamerone, has the nameless queen from the short story Sun, Moon, and Talia. When she had realized that her husband has cheated on her with another woman named Talia, she ordered her secretary to bring the children to her. She then gives her royal cook the job of cooking the children into several dishes, and then to serve said dishes to her husband. When it seemed like her husband was eating his own children, she continually mocked him for his mistake, and was blissfully unaware of the fact that her royal cook had cooked the King two lambs instead of the two children. The Queen later gives her guards the task of bringing the young woman to her palace, and so, Talia is brought before her. She condemned Talia to to burn in a huge bonfire that she had set up for her, and she then asked her to remove her clothing because she thought they were too valuable to be burned with such lowly woman.

[nja]Willbyr, my advice: Start with 8389 and do the Monster stuff from there, then back to my summary post. BTW, for 8413, I DID add the Watch Dogs entry to my post (Tomb Raider was already there). 8389, 8394, and 8400 aren't there, nor is the above.

I should like to have the Microsoft Windows page updated slightly, replacing the currently-used youtube video link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPnehDhGa14) with a newer one that covers up to Windows 8 and is done on real hardware (an Asus notebook) instead of a virtual machine (This video).

8404: Done, minus the first sentence per Fighteer's suggestion.

8402: I did the first edit, but I dunno if the disambig should be done before the Main/ wicks are namespaced.

8386, 8387, 8389, 8390, 8394: Done.

8396: I need to discuss that one.

Not done (yet): 8310, 8314, 8326, 8347, 8393, 8401
