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.

A drop in the bucket, perhaps, but Jackanory is now in the Series/ namespace with all wicks moved, so it can be removed from WorkPagesInMain.J To L. (Main.Jackanory only has three inbounds; should it be put on the cutlist?)

[up] Done, and the Main/ link is cutlisted.

8532: Done.

8533: Done. I didn't remove the material from Complete Monster Live Action TV that was used for the actual page.

8534: Done.

8535: I got the first two, lu got the last.

8536: Done.

8537: Everything is done except the request for Locked Pages; after discussion, the points Septimus brought up in the next post are sufficient to keep that info vague.

8539, 8541: Done.

Stopping here, running out of awake.

Gotta stop here for now.

^^I've namespaced Fear Island and Digital Dimension, so these don't need to be added.

Also, Kairos and Lunch Break need to be removed from WorkPagesInMain.J To L and the discussion page of Kairos moved here.

Megan Reads Brideshead Revisited and Nine Lives needs to be removed from WorkPagesInMain.M To O.

WorkPagesInMain.P To R needs The Ruins removed.

WorkPagesInMain.S To U needs Soul Plane, Superpower Classic, Tim Ronald Jake and Trucks taken off.

Request for addition to Final Fantasy VII under "Memetic Mutation"

  • The option to say to Aeris "you're the slum drunk!" is infamous. In response to the question of Aeris or Aerith, some suggest naming her "Slum Drunk" when she joins shortly after.

[up] Did those...is that Fallout writeup the same as what's on its YMMV page? I used that as the new CM entry before I saw this last update to your post.

Per ATT, if I may, I've a minor correction to the new section on Welcome to TV Tropes on whether and when to delete content from a page: in the section on moving Trivia and YMMV items on main work pages to the appropriate subpages rather than deleting them entirely, YMMV should be potholed to YMMV.Home Page (the index of subjective tropes) rather than to YMMV (the erstwhile home of the index of subjective tropes which now tells readers not to use "YMMV" or like phrases when writing for the wiki).

[up]Actually, just use that at CHERUB Series; I made a few other minor tweaks.


For Naruto, please replace the CM entry as follows:
  • Complete Monster: Naruto is an idealistic series with most villains achieving redemption or having redeeming qualities. That said, two of them outstrip others in atrocity and have nothing redeeming whatsoever to them.
    • Orochimaru was the series' first monster, and one of its worst. Formerly one of the three Sannin, and a hero of the village, Orochimaru was driven out when it was revealed that he was a Serial Killer and Mad Scientist, who had performed sick experiments on captured villagers, genetically altering infants in order to create super soldiers, and murdering others in an effort to unlock the secrets of immortality. He joined up with the Akatsuki, but was expelled after he tried to body jack Itachi Uchiha, and struck out on his own, recruiting lost children into his Hidden Sound Village with promises of power. He infiltrates the Chunin exams, corrupts Sasuke with the curse mark, and then triggers a war between the Sand and Leaf Villages. During his battle with his former mentor, The Third Hokage, Orochimaru sacrifices three of his men in order to summon the First, Second, and Fourthnote  to fight against the third; resulting in the Third's death. He later does his best to kill his former friends Jiraiya and Tsunade, completes Sasuke's turn to the dark side, and is defeated while trying to steal his body. Having long ago shed any good qualities he once had, Orochimaru shows how low even those with once good intentions can fall, having reached the point where he does not even remember them anymore.
    • Hidan, unlike the rest of the Akatsuki, has no real Freudian Excuse. An Axe-Crazy Psychopathic Manchild and member of a Religion of Evil, Hidan worships violence and death, and sees mercy (or indeed, anything other than full-scale slaughter) as a sin. He and his partner, Kakuzu, corner and capture the Two-Tails jinchuuriki, Yugito Ni, delivering her to Pain for draining and, eventually, death. The two of them subsequently slaughtered a temple's worth of monks in order to collect the bounty on the head monk, Chiriku. During the battle at the bounty station, Hidan engaged Asuma Sarutobi in combat, and used a religious ritual to bind their souls together, then began mutilating himself in order to torture Asuma, ultimately leading to the Leaf Ninja's painful death. When Asuma's student Shikamaru confronted Hidan, Hidan mocked his mentor's memory, and attempted to inflict the same fate on Shikamaru.

These last few are done except for [up].

I'm going to be out of town this weekend and may not have a computer with me, so any further requests will have to sit or be done by another mod.
