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.

  • 14747: Seeing as each Pokemon (and its evolutions) had its own folder, it would internally inconsistent to group four into one folder. Declining this for now.
  • 14751: I don't follow, since three arrows points up to Literature.The Green Mile entry.

Holding off on edits to Creator.Donald Trump for now.

DTH otherwise.

[up] Other Pokemon Pages gives specific groups their own folders. See the bottom few folders of Characters.Pokemon Generation II Families for a couple examples.

Live-Action TV: Please fix another grammatically clunky sentence in the The Beast of Gévaudan entry by changing this:

"as he will be remembers for them and becomes willing to kill his sister with no hesitation or remorse"

to this:

"as he will be remembered for them and is willing to kill his sister with no hesitation or remorse"

Could you please add in Trump article that he is now the president-elect of USA?

"At the early morning of November 9, Trump was elected as the new POTUS"

Not sure if there is a trope of stars turned into president/politician, but if it does, then I think it could be nice to include it, as he is the second TV-Movie star person to be elected as the president (Reagan was the first)

Please unlock ActionGirl.Web Original.

As part of the Redundant New Media Pages effort, the content of the subpage ActionGirl.New Media needs to be moved there. "New Media" is not an accepted folder name or subpage for trope examples.

  • I think there are now enough votes to do this. Please thusly also remove the quote.
  • At Marvel Comics, for works with their own pages, please add (includes Fury: My War Gone By) for The Punisher.

A request to unlock Justin Bieber's page. The page feels like a stub, and the page image hasn't been updated. I had provided a page image on the page discussion.

The page "Monster/Dungeons and Dragons" could perhaps use some updates to Cyric and Lolth, given the changes in 5th Edition D&D.

Lolth's victory was very short lived (from a deity's standpoint), because Eilistraee, Vhaeraun and the rest of the drow pantheon came back after The Sundering, and Eilistraee and Vhaeraun even allied against her. Ed Greenwood's take on the matter is that Lolth didn't actually manage to kill them (sources are listed here and here (note 3 and 4)).

Cyric attempt to kill Mystra wasn't exactly successful either, since she actually managed to survive, very weakened, and then reappear at the end of the Sundering.

We should be caught up. I think.

At Marvel Animation, grammatical fix for Apocalypse (X Men series):

  • Apocalypse is a would-be mutant conqueror who despises everything that isn't him and fancies himself a God. In his first appearance he creates a device designed to take away people's free will and make them his slaves. He tricks four self-loathing mutants, including Warren "Angel" Worthington, into believing this will cure them of being mutants, preying on their feelings of inadequacy and subjecting them to torture to turn them into his Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Apocalypse then orders his Horsemen to go on a worldwide genocidal rampage. In his next appearance, Apocalypse creates a plague designed to wipe out most humans and mutants. This plague furthers tensions between humans and mutants, with some humans blaming mutants for it, and creates a Bad Future, where mutants and humans alike are dying from this plague. Later Apocalypse manages to get hold of some time travel technology and uses it to travel to the Axis of Time, a interdenominational area that controls time itself and plans on destroying the time stream and reality itself, so that he can recreate it in his own image.

Please add:

Everything's Worse with Snowclones, to "Commonly Problematic Snowclones":

* Badass X: This trope was originally defined as a character who embodied the Rule of Cool and was followed by dozens of tropes about a character, action or object being seen as badass in some way. The problem is that "badass" is actually a very vague term that can mean a wide variety of things including "cool", "fighter", "(super)powerful", "brave", "assertive", or "fearsome", which are all either covered by other tropes or not really tropeable to begin with. The trope eventually got an Example Sectionectomy and many of its subtropes were renamed.

It Was His Sled: Change this:

by adding this:

Compare Late-Arrival Spoiler, Everybody Knows That. Contrast All There Is To Know About The Crying Game, where the twist isn't merely common knowledge but the only thing people know about the work.

On further inspection it looks like Everybody Knows That is actually a Just for Fun page and not a related trope. Please make it:

Compare Late-Arrival Spoiler, when marketing assumes the twist has already been spoiled. Contrast All There Is To Know About The Crying Game, where the twist isn't merely common knowledge but the only thing people know about the work.

We've made a game out of this! Head on over to Everybody Knows That.
