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.

[up] Minor amendment: don't abbreviate "something" as "smth." in wiki entries. Writing wiki entries is not a race; just write out the whole word.

Please Cut List Pokémon Fan Works, remove it from Fan Works for subpages, and then add this to the latter under the Anime/Manga group:

  • Pokémon fanfiction Pokémon: Storm Clouds: Masque, a Team Rocket agent who specializes in using hypnotic powers to strip Pokémon of their identities and make them his willing servants, is the true Big Bad. While initially presented as an ambiguous figure in the story and somewhat Affably Evil, he is gradually revealed to be a sick, twisted individual who enjoys the amount of control his mind games give him over others. He takes pleasure in stripping Pokémon of their identities and secretly manipulates all the higher-ups of Team Rocket for fun. He later breaks away from Team Rocket and attacks the hometown of the protagonists. While he does have an ulterior motive, it's still clear that he takes a disgusting amount of pleasure in terrorizing and slaughtering the residents of the small town with his Pokémon. When one of the protagonists call him out on his manipulations and accuses him of viewing humans as nothing more than tools, he responds thusly:
    I don't see human beings as tools. That distinction is reserved for Pokémon. No, I see people more as...toys. There's a distinct difference, you see. A tool is used to accomplish something, while a toy is just there to be played with. I wasn't using Giovanni for anything other than my own amusement. And like any toy, he eventually stopped being entertaining—and when a toy bores you, there's only one thing to do: snap it in half and throw it in the garbage. That's it, end of story.

OK, all caught up except for the request to make a plural redirect.We rely on the bracket mark-up for that as allowing plurals as redirects would make them innumerable

~Tropers/nombretomado: This request does include a non-plural redirect, though. And AFAIK, plural redirects are allowed under certain circumstances; IINM, one of those circumstances is if the trope title is custom-titled (which does not work with the brackets markup), thus why we have All Blue Entries redirecting to All Blue Entry.

EDIT: Huh. Someone forgot to custom-title All Blue Entries. Well, that's easy to fix. <submits custom-title request>

For the Ghostbusters reboot YMMV page:

So OK, It's Average: What the general critical response has boiled down to. Most reviews, aside from diehard fans of the original or people who were biased in favour of the film and helped propagate the sexism narrative, fell into the category of saying that it wasn't as bad as the trailers made it out to seem, but not a good film in its own right.

Very slight rewrites for Ace Attorney (before and after Engarde's entry):
  • Manfred von Karma is the Big Bad of the first game. As a prosecutor, he had a flawless, decades-long win streak, until defense attorney Gregory Edgeworth managed to have him penalized for his illegal workings in the courtroom, causing von Karma to become enraged by the black mark on his previously-perfect record. Right after the end of the case, an earthquake hit the building. It trapped Gregory Edgeworth, his nine-year-old son Miles, and a bailiff inside an elevator. As oxygen was beginning to run out, the bailiff panicked and attacked Gregory. Miles threw a piece of evidence from the trial at them to get them to stop fighting, which turned out to be a gun, which fired once, a terrible scream was heard, and then Miles passed out from lack of oxygen. Von Karma had come across them. The bullet from the gun shot through the glass and hit his shoulder, causing him to scream. For revenge, von Karma picked up the gun and shot the unconscious Gregory in the heart. Afterwards, von Karma took Miles under his wing and, for fifteen years, raised Miles to be the antithesis of everything that Gregory Edgeworth was, twisting the boy to fit his views and become a ruthless, cold-hearted prosecutor who cared for nothing but getting a guilty verdict every time. Finally, on the very last day before the Gregory Edgeworth murder case was closed forever, von Karma set up a murder and pinned the blame on Miles Edgeworth, intending to have his own foster-son executed for a murder he didn't commit. Von Karma also planned it out so that Miles would be convinced that he himself was the one who had killed his father and would confess to and be charged with that murder as well.
  • Dahlia Hawthorne, the Big Bad of the third game, previously manipulated her boyfriend into assisting her in a crime, before framing him for murder and ensuring his suicide to cover her tracks. She later poisoned the lover of the prosecutor Mia Fey when he got too close to her crimes, before she seduced Phoenix Wright as well. When her twin sister Iris fell for Phoenix, Dahlia accelerated her plans to poison him. When an ex-lover of hers tried to warn Phoenix, Dahlia murdered him and tried to frame Phoenix. Despite being executed, Dahlia returned as a vengeful ghost, aiding her mother to kill Dahlia's cousin Maya Fey solely to spite her elder sister Mia's spirit. Taking steps to manipulate her twin again to help with the murder, she came back from the dead to possess Misty Fey—albeit due to Misty's desire to protect her niece Pearl—and attempted to murder Maya, being stopped only by the intervention of Godot who killed her host. But despite this she became convinced that she had forced Maya to murder her own mother and caused her to commit suicide, which she gloated over to their faces. She's also a giant hypocrite, as she shows nothing but disgust towards Morgan Fey because of the "petty revenge" that she was after, but at the same time was going along with Morgan's plan specifically in order to get her own revenge on Mia.

I would like en edit request to Horny Devils. Per a query on Ask The Tropers and this thread, I am currently transferring all crosswicks from Shadowchasers to FanFic.Shadowchasers Series since the Shadowchasers.fanfic series isn't a franchise.Can I request such a change?

In addition, the page outright refers to the Fic as a franchise. Can that tidbit also be removed?

Please redirect Fictional Pantheon to Fantasy Pantheon.

[up] OK, but that leaves the matter of dealing with already existing redirects of that kind, like All Blue Entries.
