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.

Why are there all these requests for redirects when neither the page nor the requested redirect is locked?

Since the latest system update editing any new page in the Main/ namespace automatically redirects to YKTTW. Only moderators and admins can still edit them the usual way,

In https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Monster/DungeonsAndDragons Forgotten Realms section, it says Cyric "invented new ways to drive beings made". It should be mad, not made; it's a serious, confusing typo so I request its correction.

I'm opposing having Evil Stepfather redirect to Wicked Stepmother, because it is an Always Female trope that has been both a story and character archetype since literal prehistory. Making a separate Evil Stepfather trope that doesn't reference it should be the way to have.

[up][up] Well, Wicked Stepfather already redirects to Wicked Stepmother.

[up]Yeh, I figured (just personally) that it is a matter of the word. Keeping Wicked suggests that it is the same Wicked Stepmother trope being fulfilled by a male character. To use Evil does not have the same connotations quite as much, and so people will start using the redirect when a stepfather character just isn't nice (which is half the reason why step-parents exist in fiction) instead.

14346: Googling this indicates it's a wrestler. Please make sure to specify which folder/group examples belong to in the future. 14351: Not creating this redirect since it muddies the term (cf. 14359). 14352: Not at this time. 14360: Which section does the phantom go to?

  • At Comic Books, please correctly alphabetize Realm of the Damned.
  • Also, phantom goes under Dual Destinies.

Please add ThreeAmigos to https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/FiftyShadesOfGrey

Three Amigos: Anastasia as the main character, Kate as her same-gender best friend and Jose as the opposite gender, close friend that could be a love interest.

Marvel Comics: In the Black Panther entry, please pothole "starving animals to death" to Bad People Abuse Animals instead of Kick the Dog—the latter is not literal.
