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.

Please add to One Piece – Fish-Man Island Arc:

  • Complete Monster: Hody Jones, a Fishman who takes Arlong's Fantastic Racism and turns it Up To Eleven. He's more brutal, more racist, more treacherous, and more cruel, but the kicker? He pulls a reversal on Arlong's sole Pet the Dog moment; whereas Arlong was mortified when Luffy used a Fishman as a human shield, Hodi actually uses a Fishman as a human shield against an attack. One of Arlong's former crew, Hatchi, stated that, while Arlong was a bastard through and through, he'd never hurt a Fishman no matter what. Hody, on the other hand, is known for killing any who talk to or know them. In fact, when he tries to take over Fishman Island, part of his plan is to execute all who had signed Queen Otohime's petition. This means that he's planning to murder thousands of its residents. He already killed Otohime and framed the human he hired to burn the petitions in the first place as part of this plan... and got cocky enough to brag about it in front of all Fishman Island.

^^That page was locked because it was cut a while ago. Unlocking Requests is a better place for that.

  • Please add the Folder Control to Tabletop Games; the third Pathfinder entry should start "Pathfinder's evil deities" (extra brackets not needed); and replace the current quote with this one (can't figure out the formatting):
    "If a man dedicates his life to good deeds and the welfare of others, he will die unthanked and unremembered. If he exercises his genius bringing misery and death to billions, his name will echo down through the millennia for a hundred lifetimes. Infamy is always more preferable to ignominy."

Please add this to the Western Animation section of the Complete Monster Fan Works page:

  • The Lion King Adventures: The Writer is responsible for all the bad things that happen in the story, and is the true villain of the entire series. The Writer created the world Simba and his friends lived in, and had caused every evil act in that world. The Writer also created all the other villains in the story. The Writer's creations included Scar, as well as evil versions of Timon and Pumbaa who drain the souls of cubs. He had always been trying to kill Simba and his friends or ruin their lives for fun, and at the end of the series, he goes into the world himself to kill Simba and his friends so he can take over and rule the world for eternity as he destroys thousands of lives for his own amusement.

Please add the following rewrites to the Monster subpages.

To Monster.Film A To E:

  • Dirty Laundry: The gang leader Gold Tooth is a vicious gangbanger, drug dealer and pimp who crosses as many lines as he can in his limited screentime. When he sees one of his prostitutes who owes him money, he beats her up and rapes her while letting his men rough up her two friends. He then sees a small boy who refused to run drugs for him, and has his men beat and threaten to kill the kid. When a mysterious stranger takes note of this, he threatens to kill him too if he tries to interfere. A wheelchair-bound shopkeeper soon reveals that he was incapacitated when a gang (implied to be led by the same gang leader) did the same thing by killing a young girl for refusing to become a drug runner.

On that same page, the Basic Instinct example should be alphabetized just above Batman.

To Monster.Literature:

  • First: Do No Harm: Violet's husband keeps Violet chained to a wall under guard, naked, beats her almost every day with his bare fists because her Healing Factor keeps her alive and it just annoys him. At one point he briefly considers cutting out her ovaries and womb, just to see if her Healing Factor can handle it. Then he decides not to because he might need her to bear another 'tool'. He also has a daughter whom he considers as nothing more than a disposable tool, sending armed mercenaries after her in an attempt to kill her because he felt she was out of his control.

  • Jennifer Government: John Nike is a stand-out Corrupt Corporate Executive even by the standards of the corporatist Dystopia in the novel. As the Vice-President of Marketing for Nike, he arranges to increase their latest product's revenue by increasing its notoriety by killing every person who buys it, including children. When agent Jennifer Government catches on to his scheme through the inevitable chain of subcontractors that expose his plot, he orders Jennifer's 8-year old daughter Kate—revealed to be his own child from a previous relation he had with Jennifer—kidnapped and threatens to kill her if Jennifer tries to arrest him. He ultimately tries to hire a paramilitarized NRA to kill the President so he can give his own unscrupulous MegaCorp complete power to control and process humanity as he sees fit. John Nike's greed has no limits and he is willing to see his entire society reduced to an unending nightmare out of selfishness and cruelty.

On that same page, please provide a work page link for L.A. Confidential.

To Tabletop Games, add:

  • Iron Kingdoms: Toruk is the Monster Progenitor of the dragon race, although he considers his progeny the only thing that might pose a threat to him and desires to destroy them all. To accomplish this he becomes an Omnicidal Maniac against every other race. He turns a whole set of island nations into a mix of undead and mutants to serve as his army, all with the intent of slaughtering as many of the inhabitants of the mainland as possible to make a bigger army.

And on Monster.Comic Books, the potholed page image should be namespaces to Sin City.

On A To C (missed those from the last time):

On J To L, the following entries can be removed:

On P To R, you can add "La Ribambelle" (yes, it goes in R, since it has an article).

Finally, on Useful Notes Pages In Main, please add "Korean Mythology".

8601: Done.

8602: Check Monster.One Piece and see if the way I added it there works.

8603, 8605: Done.

8606: I went ahead and added that, but the nature of the entry makes me wonder if it really qualifies...was it approved by the CM cleanup thread?

8607 - 8609: Done.

Please change the Sum of all fears reference on Monster.Film P To Z to:

The Sum of All Fears: Neo-Nazi billionaire Richard Dressler wants to create a fascist superstate in Europe. His ruminations on history have led him to the conclusion that Adolf Hitler was a fool for trying to fight Russia and America- it's much better to have them fight and destroy each other. Dressler obtains a nuclear weapon and places it in a football stadium during the Super Bowl, killing countless innocent people. He blames the attack on Russia so the Americans will bring their military to bear and when Russia stands its ground, the two countries are ready to engage in all out nuclear war on one another thanks to Dressler's framing and stroking of tensions.

(It is just changing the reference to Hitler to namespace him.)

The USA Political system page calls the GOP a center-right party and I think this should be changed. However I don't think their far-right or fascist either.

However the Republican party is further to the right than most mainstream conservative parties. For instance David Cameron would probably be better off running as a Democrat than a Republican in the US. While I don't know if Dems are ouright "right-wing" like another commenter claimed they are right-leaning centrists by international standards ever since Clinton pulled them to the right and the progressives have been weakened in the House. At the very least we should mention the GOP is to the right of most center-right parties for most countries (and to even many Americans they are increasingly extreme), or that they have a strong right-wing populist constituency.

8615 - 8617: Done.

[up] While I do see your point, I think keeping the page general in terms of defining the parties is the safest route. I'll ask about it.

UPDATE: After discussion, that one's declined.

could you remove BoundAndGagged.Live-Action TV from Administrivia.Hyphenated Titles, since I've moved it to BoundAndGagged.Live Action TV, plus could you remove Alec Douglas-Home from the Useful Notes section, as he is now at UsefulNotes.Alec Douglas Home.

An edit I'd like to request for Naruto, under Tobi/Obito's section:

It Was His Sled: Tobi not only isn't the real Madara Uchiha, he's also Obito. Both were huge spoilers when first revealed, but by the time they were animated, both facts had become almost impossible to hide.

Also to Harsher in Hindsight, the bit talking about the Blood Purges, since it no longer makes sense - sorry for that confusing request that time. That said, I'd like it to be restored to as follows:

The bloodline purges in Mist Village were already bad enough when we were first introduced to them by Haku, whose family was torn apart by them, but later we learn that they were orchestrated by Tobi, manipulating the 4th Mizukage, who had a very big grudge against the Hidden Mist since they were responsible for Rin's death. Suddenly, the genocide and civil war take on a whole other layer of meaning as a senseless and cruel act of Disproportionate Retribution.

And then please add, "and then they become even more cruel when we learn that Madara orchestrated the Hidden Mist's role in Rin's death, all in order to get Obito under his control.

Thanks!
