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.

Edit to Hollywood Tactics:

Some form of "will never be used by a Badass Army" (which alludes to such an approach on its own page).

The That One Boss/Pokemon for Cyrus sounds something awfully like from an FPS game than anything. So I decided to rewrite it. And here it is:

  • Cyrus's battle in Spear Pillarnote  / Distortion World note . Despite not being his trump card, his Gyarados is pretty dreaded. Aqua Tail/ Waterfall is boosted by its STAB, so it definitely will do a ton of damage to most Pokemon. His Gyarados also happens to have Earthquake, so bringing Electric-type and Steel-type Pokemon against it is quite risky. And while Ice Fang is pretty weak, it does provide good coverage to his Gyarados. His other Pokemon isn't any better, either. Crobat is pretty fast and it has specific moves to annoy your Pokemon. Air Slash will deal damage and it will often make your Pokemon flinch. Confuse Ray so your Pokemon will be confused, and Toxic to badly Poison your Pokemon. His Hounchkrow actually isn't too outstanding in DP, but it is dangerous in Platinum as it now has Heat Wave and Psychic. And his trump card, Weavile is pretty fast and actually has a high Attack stat, packing dangerous moves such as Ice Punch and Night Slash, as well as Brick Break in DP or Fake Out in Platinum. Oh, he now has a Houndoom in Platinum. It has good coverage just like most of his Pokemon does, as well as having Will-O-Wisp to burn your Pokemon. Cyrus's team is quite the thing for that point in the game. And if you blacked out, you have to climb all the way back to Mt. Coronet and through the Distortion Word.

Okay, that's a bit too long.

Please move the content of Sandbox.Rape Is A Special Kind Of Evil to Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil.

As you can check, no real content change, just alphabetization, better sorting of the examples, namespaces and wicks corrections when needed, and standardization.

Anatomically Impossible Sex: Please change this:

  • A virgin always bleeds: A very common and very old myth in real life, and thus it's no surprise that it turns up in many works of fiction as well.

by adding this:

  • A virgin always bleeds: A very common and very old myth in real life, and thus it's no surprise that it turns up in many works of fiction as well. This perception is so prevalent that faking it is a trope in its own right.

Fifty Shades of Grey has this at the end of the description:

"...reimagine[s] the Bella and Edward love affair set in contemporary Seattle, Washington with Bella as the young college graduate virgin and Edward as the masterful billionaire with secret sexual predilections.”

Speed read 14 naughtiest bits? I understand "no prudishness", but if anyone wants to read what happens in the book they are free to buy it or do a simple google search. I don't see any need to directly link the content on the work page. I think the link can be killed and it would have no impact whatsoever on the work page.

Also, according to another troper the first link in the description (to the fanfic) is dead and should be cut. I can not confirm that at this time as I will not be clicking on any 50 shades external links from a work computer.
