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.

At Marvel Comics, please replace the Thor: Vikings entry with this slight tweak:

  • Thor: Vikings: This Garth Ennis miniseries, from the Darker and Edgier MAX imprint, features the sadistic, psychotic Harald Jaekelsson, who embodies the worst stereotypes of Vikings. In 1003 AD, Harald leads his men to rape and slaughter all inhabitants of a village before setting sail for the new world. Cursed by a wise man to sail for a thousand years, Harald and his men arrive at New York as nigh-invincible zombies. Setting about to slaughter, pillage and rape all they find, Harald and his comrades turn New York into a near death camp—which, as this is MAX, we see in all its graphic gore—with Harald selecting the seat of his new throne built of human bones at the Empire State Building. When he faces Thor, Harald tries to humiliate the God and taunts him to go die a coward's death before casting him into the Hudson River. Despite only having a brief appearance, Harald marks himself as one of the most truly vile beings the God of Thunder has ever faced.

Requesting entry for Horny Devils, which should be added under the one for World of Warcraft:

  • A specific example that plays the Trope straight is Sensiria, a Quest Giver in the Darkmist ruins who was Out-Gambitted by her victim. After "gifting" the night elf Verinias with power (turning him into a hideous demon in the process) he uses this power to imprison her in the ruins while hording the Highborne souls she was after for himself. she tricks the player into freeing her, then briefly reveals her true form before cooing to him/her that she'll repay the favor, and then vanishing. (She hasn't appeared to do so yet, and a more benign quest giver warns the player not to accept it if she does.)

Recently I launched a new Trope Feathered Serpent; however, I would like Plumed Serpents and Quetzalcoatl as redirects since they are just as commonly used instead. I've tried to do it myself, but I just can't figure it out could a moderator do this for me please?

The thread dedicated to cleaning up YMMV.Pokemon Anime have unanimously agreed it needs a Tainted by the Preview entry for the upcoming season. Also, to clean up excess negativity, all entries under The Scrappy should be replaced with a link to TheScrappy.Pokemon.

Stephen Hunt: Please recreate and cutlist the page to get rid of a ghost wick.

There's also another weird ghost wick on the same page (English Civil War): "James Graham, Marquis Of Montrose". Any way to fix this?

The wording for the Frieza entry in the "Definitely Not a CM" section of the Complete Monster FAQ is a bit redundant about the humor, uses Characterization Tags (which is discouraged and also kind of redundant), and his name is spelled wrong because Dragon Ball Z Abridged makes it perfectly clear that there is no "I". Please change it to this:

A weird ghost wick from a page that never existed: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/SignatureSong/0K (linking to the page doesn't work).

  • 14310: Provide a new write-up, please.
  • 14312: There have been no edits since yours, so leaving this unlocked for now.
  • 14316: I believe that Watsonian versus Doylist is a meta-concept solely, and not used as a trope (note the lack of examples listed on the page). If it is used as a trope, it should be in-universe which your current write-up has no context of.

Regarding the special character ghost wicks - Signature Song.0K and UsefulNotes.James Graham,Marquis Of Montrose - I'm not familiar with a method that can get rid of these.

Done to here otherwise.

Special characters are an admin matter, nothing we can do.

About The Vampire Diaries it's been a while there without that sockmaster showing up. Or maybe they have had an undetected account. If the latter isn't true, maybe we can unlock it - ~shimaspawn?

This would all be more efficient if you just let us edit Moral Guardian. If you're insistent on keeping it locked, then...

  • Kevin Kelly and Mr. Wrestling III often act as such on Ring of Honor, programs, chastising wrestlers for doing anything vaguely illegal or saying anything deemed profane. Steve Corino, on the other hand, openly supports acts that could be considered genuinely evil, and even III lets up if the moral violation in question will result in trouble for BJ Whitmer.

  • Ashley America runs a "news report" in which she denounces overuse of women on wrestling shows as wrong, as well as speaking out against employment of Indians.

On the same The Great Comics Crash Of 1996 page, please remove "to" from the following line (emphasis mine for easy location): "In addition, Marvel had attempted to in-house distribution of their own comic books"

For those wondering, "in-house" is only either an adjective or an adverb; it has no verb sense.
