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.

Done to here, the title of the autism page needs discussion elsewhere.

Please add to The Bible:

  • Mass Resurrection: According to The Bible, God will do this on the Last Day to everyone who had ever lived, raising them from the dead just before the Judgement.

Let's fix the punctuation for that quote at Arrowverse:

"I have no desire to kill you. I want you alive. I want you to see the world burn. I have looked so often at your wife and son these last 11 years...Miranda and Jonas, their faces etched into my mind. And when I finally get to meet them, I will let them know that you and your friends are responsible for their suffering."

Laconic.Just Plane Wrong, Laconic.Just Train Wrong, and Laconic.Artistic License - Film Production all contain the "X DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOOD NIGHT!" meme which all the other Artistic License laconics have been locked for, so all of these pages should be re-written and locked.

In Characters.The Bible:

  1. Add the [invoked] tag to all the Names The Same cases, because them all are in-universe.
  2. Cut the "Christians" section, because it only has misused examples.
  3. Cut the Celibate Hero entry in Uriah and comment the Uriah section out.
  4. Replace the Sinkhole of Captain Obvious to a pothole of Circumcision Angst in this entry:

For YMMV.Ghostbusters 2016, does this sound valid for Harsher in Hindsight?

The 2015 Saturday Night Live sketch "American Voices" featured Leslie Jones as a 1950s talk show host, whose program ended after the network cut short her rant against degrading cinema portrayals of African-Americans. Now, the backlash against this movie seems to have made her the subject of such rants.

That wouldn't go on the Ghostbusters YMMV page, but rather the SNL one, were it an example.

Does it sound like an example, or a stretch?

Read literally, it might be. However, given the context under which we locked the article for the new Ghostbusters, it's too meta and flame-baity for my taste.
