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.

The Evil Overlord List cannot have its text modified. It is a copy of a list created by someone else which we host on condition of not altering it. We have open subsidiary lists, though.

If these changes are too vague or large-scale, I apologize, and I'll raise them in the Sandbox. Tumblr (Website) suggestions:

Second paragraph of main article: "Differing from other mainstream social media sites, rather than personal profiles for networking, its populace is made up largely of a variety of fandoms and artists, while having been noteworthy for every variety of Hatedom imaginable and acquiring a reputation among Hipster bloggers in its earlier years. It's also known for its tacit encouragement of designers. Tumblr's interface makes it easy to set up a portfolio, and its support staff has been praised for running its Theme Garden, which features often minimalist layouts designed by users."

Suggest removing run-on list of fandoms that comprises third paragraph.

Suggest removing second sentence of fourth paragraph, as it implies it were written without knowledge of recent events.

  • Arch-Enemy example is largely subjective and many not relevant anymore.
  • Catchphrase example made entirely redundant by Memes page. It's also huge and out-of-context which sort of defeats the purpose.
  • Does Not Like Men entry is an attack on certain users.
  • Overheating example should be changed to Anti Poop-Socking.
  • Rule #1 example is dubious at best, and the sub-example is no longer valid.
  • Soapbox Sadie example rewording: While once widely known for its amateur photographer and Hipster blogs, this has slowly grown to become the widely-accepted stereotype of Tumblr users off the site, with many activists, with varying degrees of seriousness, becoming prominent.
  • There Are No Girls on the Internet entry is dubious at best. Evidence given in article contradicts other examples. Recommend removing this trope as example.
  • Urban Legend example now outdated. Should read "It was once trivially easy to attribute a post to the staff blog, or CNN, or any number of reputable sources that never said a word about it through some editing."
  • What You Are in the Dark entry is rambling.

Please add the following page quote to Perverse Sexual Lust, per this discussion:

Lister: This is crazy. Why are we talking about going to bed with Wilma Flintstone?
Cat: You're right. We're nuts. This is an insane conversation.
Lister: She'll never leave Fred and we know it.

May I suggest the following addition to YMMV.Ghostbusters 2016, underneath Base-Breaking Character?

  • Kevin's stupidity makes him either entertaining comic relief, or an obnoxious detriment to the team.

Noblest moderators, might I humbly request that you consider a page quote for The Chick?

"Maybe it's just me, but I can't figure out how to feel like one of the guys with these guys. You know what I mean? I always feel like I'm 'the girl'."

On the Ghostbusters (2016) Trivia page, could a moderator please add this bit that was excised from its Film page:

  • The Danza: Ed Mulgrave Jr., the Aldridge House historian who asks for Erin's help, is played by Ed Begley Jr.

Please redirect Abnormal Joint Rotation Range and Hypermobility to Abnormal Limb Rotation Range. They're technically more accurate titles (the latter being the official term for the real-life equivalent) and would be more appropiate for examples that involve a non-limb body part (e.g. head, upper torso).
