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.

Something Awful: Please delete the pothole to "Electric Retard". It's referencing a trope that does not exist and is instead redirecting to a work page.

I turned the Dark Souls page into one for the whole game series and made Dark Souls I for the first game. I'd like the latter's type changed to a work page.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

Both are typed as work page on my screen.

[up]Okay then.

Is there a way to tell the page type for the rest of us?

In Final Fantasy VII under Player Punch, please change the example to "Aeris is killed by Sephiroth towards the end of the game."

[up][up][up] You can check the page types indirectly through the Itty Bitty Wiki Tools "number of pages of each type in any given namespace". You can for example open a list of all the works under a given namespace, and do a search on the title you want to check.

And to set the type of pages that have yet to get one, you have the "Un-Typed Pages" list.

On this subject... far from me the thought of swamping you guys with work, but there are many Characters/ pages that are incorrectly tagged as "subpage". They would need their type changed to "a work's examples page".

From here:

  • Anime And Manga A To J:
    • Please add Kilobot
    • Please replace the Franken Fran tree with the single rewrite.
    • Please add Makoto to the Guilty Crown tree, between Keido and Mana Ouma.
  • At JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, please double-indent J. Geil and add D'Arby below him.
  • Edward Wade goes to Video Games A To K.
  • Video Games L To Z:
    • Please add Amascut to the Rune Scape tree, right before Bandos.
    • Please add Tayama to the Shin Megami Tensei tree, before Serph.
    • Dimentio rewrite replaces the current one in the Super Mario tree.
  • Teridax goes to Other Media, but I don't know how you wanna do it. BIONICLE is (literally) a multi media franchise. Maybe create another category for multi media works?
Thanks.

Okay after getting a PM about a recent page (or rather subpage) I needed indexed, I decided to check out How Indexing Works and found out that not only does the [[index]] markup, (I assume used for making sure that trope examples are not indexed along with subpages) does not work, but that the Page-type is limited to mods due to technical issues.

Since I cannot actualy fix the problem that wound up getting me the PM because of that, I ask that Fanfic.The Infinite Loops be changed to an index+trope page somehow

At American Horror Story, for the quote, please add a comma then "Blood Bath" at the end (that's the episode it's from).

With permission, I'd like to add a paragraph or so to Mormonism about Orson Scott Card (under the "Mormon Media" section). I'm making sure that's okay before I do the actual write-up.
