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. Some locked pages have ongoing cleanup threads, like Complete Monster (Thread), Five-Man Band (Thread), and Magnificent Bastard (Thread). Other than purely technical requests, edits to these pages ought to be discussed in these threads first.
  9. Also, we do not do direct edits (other than changing wicks) to Magnificent Bastard or Complete Monster example lists. Rather, you need to do the edit to a sandbox page that follows the format Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard<Name of the example subpage> and Sandbox.Monster<Name of the example subpage> (e.g for Monster.Disney it's Sandbox.Monster Disney) and ask for it to be swapped in on Saturday for Magnificent Bastard and on Monday for Complete Monster.
  10. 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.

DTH, didn't lock because we don't lock pages just for the sake of it.

Please set the page type for Ghost Rider and Blood to 'disambiguation'.

Could you possibly delete this mention in Locked Pages?

  • Pantheon.Disgraces and subpages: Request from the Pantheons thread due to persistent shoehorning of complaints.

I ask because we are in the process of getting rid of that page and that is one wick i can't delete properly

Wicks are now gone for Disgraces and I'm about to cutlist it.

For the PRLC page when it gets moved:

  • Pantheon.Disgraces: Attracted huge amounts of work and character bashing that was deemed unnecessarily toxic and inappropriate for the Pantheon.

Wallbangers.Professional Wrestling:

Remove: Note: WWE has had so many of these, a page was made to contain them, and then another for WrestleMania.

Add:

WWE and Wrestlemania have so many they've been spun off to their own pages:

and change page type to Trope That Does Indexing.

In Dangerously Short Skirt the dangerously part means that she's an action girl so you need to say how she's fighting in it or something.

Usual batch to come tomorrow, but for now, from here:

  • Star Wars
    • Canon Works
      • Please replace the Tarkin writeup with the writeup at the above.
    • Expanded Universe
      • Legacy tree replaces the current tree
      • Onimi entry replaces the current entry, both for non-canon works.
  • Other Media
    • SCP tree replaces the current tree (Web Original group).

Thanks. Also, for pre-crisis Martian Manhunter, please make the period into a slash so that the "Useful Notes" part of the link doesn't show.
