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.

Hi, could I please get the redirect removed from 'Lifeline' that currently points to 'Operator's Side'? I'd like to create an article on the Lifeline series of Android and iOS games.

Since Paper Mario: Color Splash is nearing its release, I made a new YMMV page in the Sandbox for it. I would still recommend keeping it locked though; the hate doesn't seem to be dying down anytime soon.

Gor Please add:

  • Fake Wizardry: Discussed in Magicians of Gor. Tarl and his friend Marcus hire a stage magician to steal a McGuffin; Marcus, like those of Gor generally, believes in magic and that the stage magician can do real magic. The stage magician assures Marcus that he will use mundane stage magic to steal the McGuffin rather than real magic, since it will be more humiliating for those from whom the McGuffin is stolen.

[up][up][up] Wait, we can't have YMMV pages for works that no longer exist???

^ If a work page is cut (for whatever reason, but usually for being a stub), it can't have any subpages remaining. Not sure what their request up there is supposed to be though, since the work page still exists. Maybe they're referring to a ghost wick?

Film A To E: In the Alien: Resurrection entry, please pothole "Dr. Mason Wren" to Mad Scientist.

  • 14426: It's unclear what you're asking. Please add links.
  • 14428: What? Are you talking about a ghost wick? The primary work page is still in existence.
  • 14429: Let's wait until it's actually been released.

14406, 14407, 14409, 14410: Will have these done shortly. The rest is done.

Thanks. On a different note, the redirects that I've requested here aren't showing up in the "Related" pages of the relevant tropes, even though they've been implemented. This is preventing me from submitting custom titles for The Power of Rock's redirects.

So, why didn't the character sheet show the YMMV symbol next to Holtzmann's Crazy Awesome entry?

My writeup change for the Microsoft Windows page looks good, but the fact it has no paragraphs breaking it up makes it clash with the rest. Please break it up like this:

After seeing the immense criticism that Windows 8 faced, Microsoft decided to go on a different development path with the next version of Windows, which they surprisingly named "Windows 10", skipping "Windows 9" (claiming it was to avoid compatibility issues with software for older versions of Windows like 9x). Microsoft launched the Microsoft Insider program in September 2014 to allow the public to beta test the new version of Windows as it was developed. Several betas went out to the Insider Program members who were also the first to receive the completed operating system when it released in July 2015.

Windows 10 re-introduced the Start Menu which was a combination of the older style Start Menu as well as Windows 8 Style apps. It also introduced Microsoft's voice assistant Cortana to computers. Microsoft was so confident that Windows 10 would be successful that it offered free upgrades to anybody running Windows 7 or Windows 8. Sure enough it was on nearly 40 million computers by the end of 2015.

Microsoft also stated that Windows 10 would be the last major new version of Windows and that incremental updates to it would release annually, similar to other operating systems.

There is also a quotation mark at the end that should not be there.

Slight rewrite for Literature M To Z:

  • Sun, Moon, and Talia: This short story from the fairy tale book The Pentamerone has the nameless queen. When she had realized that her husband has cheated on her with another woman named Talia, she ordered her secretary to bring the children to her. She then gives her royal cook the job of cooking the children into several dishes, and then to serve said dishes to her husband. When it seemed like her husband was eating his own children, she continually mocked him for his mistake, and was blissfully unaware of the fact that her royal cook had cooked the King two lambs instead of the two children. The Queen later gives her guards the task of bringing the young woman to her palace, and so, Talia is brought before her. She condemned Talia to to burn in a huge bonfire that she had set up for her, and she then asked her to remove her clothing because she thought they were too valuable to be burned with such a lowly woman.
