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.

Please remove the Dragon Ball Xenoverse entry from Video Games A To K and add Dragon Ball to Video Games for works with their own pages (there's gonna be a second DB VG CM with this week's batch).

The Ymmv Pokemon Sun and Moon page is ridiculously bloated. Here are some suggestions on things to cut

Under Base-Breaking Character there are two entries about the starters' final forms that essentially say the same thing. I request cutting one of them (I suggest the earlier one comparing Incineroar to Tony the Tiger, but I'll leave it up to the moderators choice).

Under Counterpart Comparison there's some serious Fan Myopia throughout the whole section. I suggest the following cuts:

  • Rowlet has been compared to Kotori Minami due to the colour scheme and the character's association with birds.
  • Litten have also been compared a lot to Rin Kaenbyou, more specifically her cat form, most likely due to similar color scheme and an association with fire.
  • Bewear is similar to the Yu-Gi-Oh! card Fluffal Bear. One of its abilities is even called Fluffy!
  • Turtonator can also be compared to another Mine Turtle.
  • Both UB-02 Beauty and Absorption have been compared to the Chimera ants or the Terraformars.
  • Many have noted how similar Midnight form is to◊ Yabuki Joe.
Along with anything else the moderator thinks should be cut.

Under Ensemble Dark Horse: I suggest cutting the entries for Pikipek and Snorlax's Z-move. The buzz for them has completely died down

Under Memetic Mutation: Many of these either just cute little jokes that came and went, or applications of memes from other series (like the Jojo ones). I suggest the following cuts:

  • It's spherical!
  • Pokémon Birthright and Pokémon Conquest is starting to come up among fans of Fire Emblem, with how the emblem of Sun looks almost exactly like the emblem of Hoshido, and Moon's emblem resembles Nohr when you squint. Made even funnier when you realize that a Turn-Based Strategy spin-off named Pokémon Conquest actually exists, and even funnier still in that both franchises have already crossed over and that Awakening and Fates' character designer also designed the major characters in Pokémon Go.
  • "There's a Rotom in My Pokédex!" Followed by, "A Rotom? In my Pokédex? It's more likely than you think."
  • "Set fire to the sun!"
  • "Steal the moon!"
  • Being nearly bowling ball-shaped, Togedemaru has been the subject of similar jokes to Rowlet. (Such being called "spherical".)
  • After Salandit's reveal, jokes of "SALANDIT NO SWIPING!" soon sprang up.
  • The odd pose that the male Pokémon Trainer does in the July 2016 trailer's been interpreted as a Jo Jo pose (with comparisons to Killer Queen).
  • The common response to Crabrawler's appearance is "BIG MEATY CLAWS!"
  • When Snorlax had its Z-Move revealed in the September 1st, 2016 trailer, it uses its Z-Move, Pulverizing Pancake, on Gumshoos, who has an uncanny resemblance to Donald Trump. There are jokes going around, about how it will take one obese American (Snorlax) to bring down Donald Trump (Gumshoos). Similarly, many jokes have been made about its awakening animation.
  • The fact that Snorlax was shown to be dormant for decades and has finally awoken has made a lot of "Awaken My Snorlax" videos.
  • The moment Gladion was revealed, he was immediately compared to a Jo Jo character, usually Dio, seen in art like this. This is all on account of his pose looking like it'd belong in that series.
  • A Japanese trailer released on Sept 7th 2016 had a screenshot of a tanned, long haired version of Professor Oak. Many people have joked that this is actually an Alolan Professor Oak. The site even joked that he was Professor Oak's Alolan form!
  • The theory that Lillie and UB-01 are one and the same has led to countless Splatoon and Nina Tucker jokes.
  • As soon as UB-02 Absorption was announced, there was an absolute flurry of jokes about it being the Ultra Beast version of Larry the Lobster or Alex Louis Armstrong. Other jokes were that it's UB-02 Beauty (or Gladion)'s Stand. Additionally, before it's localized name was revealed to be different, quite a few fans were amused that a creature named Expansion was in the games.
  • Pushes to make Harambe Explanation into a Pokémon, complete with mock-up art. After Oranguru was revealed, it was seen as the closest answer to this wish that players would ever get (even though Oranguru is technically an orangutan, not a gorilla). Many "dicks out for Oranguru" memes followed.
Along with anything else the moderator thinks should be cut.

The Bible: Please add a colon after the Humble Hero pothole in the Virgin Mary's entry. Also, remove the Common Knowledge section under "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", change the Names The Same passage under "John of Patmos" to Cryptic Background Reference and put [invoked] in the God Never Said That entry under "The Pharisees", because each of the aforementioned are Trivia tropes.

Please italicize the quotes under the "Cain", "Ezra", "Queen Vashti" and "Nehemiah" headers in the Old Testament folder.

14780 is done. For Base-Breaking Character, I removed the newer entry, as the former is worded a little better.

Just launched the NPC Random Encounter Immunity trope, and I can't crosswick it on the Final Fantasy VII page.

  • NPC Random Encounter Immunity: Played straight. How did the people of Nibelheim get to the reactor to work? How do hermits (like the smith south of the Gold Saucer and the guy in the cave near Fort Condor) survive? Why do kids near the north pole have snowboards when all the slopes land you in high-level encounter land? Plants don't grow in Midgar, so who grows the food and transports it?

Am I really expected to write words here?

Please redirect Unpicky Eater and Can Eat Anything to Extreme Omnivore (they denote the main varieties of the trope, as explained in the description).

On X-Men, edit this line in Sabretooth's entry:

"Sabretooth played off Daken's desire for fatherly affection and drove him towarda confrontation with his father solely to hurt Wolverine more after he was forced to kill Daken."

Towarda should be changed to "towards a".

On Compensated Dating, one of the Anime and Manga examples (Please Tell Me! Galko-chan) is located outside of its folder. It should be moved inside its folder.

[up][up] I agree that trope might want some redirects for clarity, but those suggestions are not the trope. The trope is "very smart person gets psychic powers through methods that roughly relate to the fact they are smart or for the same reasons" A better redirect would be Smart Equals Psychic, rather than the other way around.

For Pokémon Sun and Moon.

  • Not Drawn to Scale: Wailord, the largest Pokemon in the entire franchise, is physically shorter than the trainer and only twice as wide.

Better off on its character page. Also you need to mention Wailord's measurements and the PC's measurements for context.

#14799: Nov 15th 2016 at 6:45:20 PM

  • 14792/14794: Use the redirect suggested in 94 as it fits better.
  • 14797: Holding off, see 14798.

DTH otherwise.
