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.

Considering the fiasco has gone too long and they haven't shown any signs of getting better... I was thinking that an entry regarding Creator/Konami in Fallen Creator is overdue... What do you think? I can try to make a 'neutral'-ish post about them.

Sliding Scale Of Video Game Obscurity was cutlisted along with Sliding Scale Of Film Obscurity. I don't know exactly how it happened, but now the latter exists while the former is cut and locked. There's now a TLP draft for Sliding Scale of Video Game Obscurity, which was launched but doesn't actually exist because of the lock. Either unlock Sliding Scale Of Video Game Obscurity, or discard the draft and cut Sliding Scale Of Film Obscurity along with all the other obscurity sliding scales.

Apparently the thing about Konami being a Fallen Creator already has a writeup in the Discussion topic dating back at January 2016. I will bring it up, and then try to rewrite it. Let's see how I go...

  • Konami used to be a beloved studio and publisher of some of the most respected game series from the NES, including Castlevania, Metal Gear, Contra, also having a very strong arcade presence and invented the ever famous Konami Code. At the eighth console generation, everything just went down the drain on this company. While they have started to show signs of problems in 2012; where they announced the cancellation of the Silent Hill reboot that was meant to be directed by Hideo Kojima; 2015 exacerbated the issues further with their declaration to seriously scale back AAA-Video Game development and focusing on Pachinko and Mobile games, alienating gamers and even their own staff. With the Metroid Vania-style Castlevania drying up since Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Koji Igarashi left the company after the next game and went on to create his own studio and make a Spiritual Successor of the Metroid Vania-style games that Konami constantly restricted him from making. That game was funded within hours. Konami's downward spiral did not stop regardless, as it mistreated the aforementioned Hideo Kojima, firing him after the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (which Kojima made) and barring him from receiving the awards that the game won. Then news spread that Konami has been absolutely making its video game division's life a complete hell by working with them, with the employers likening it to being sent to prison and added further when another news spread that the current CEO of Konami admitted of never playing video games before taking the position. With beloved franchises turned into Pachinko machines with questionable marketing strategy (such as Castlevania Erotic Violence), people completely lost their faith in Konami that the video reveal of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater pachislot went on to become the third most disliked video in all Youtube history, and any attempts to make new titles out of the old franchises such as Metal Gear Survive fell flat in the fans' eyes. By 2016, people has forgotten Konami's influence in early gaming history and it is seen as nothing more than a money-grubbing greedy corporate that continues to insult video gamers by unapologetically making games that no gamers care and constantly considered as one of the worst video game companies ever, matching even Electronic Arts. At best, it's a complete laughing stock to western gamers, and at worst, it generates bitter rage amongst all gamers.

What do you guys think? I think I went too long...

Edit this entry on Monster.Film A To E with this;

  • The Beastmaster: Maax was the High Priest of Aruk prior to being banished by King Zed, who learned Maax was planning to sacrifice Zed's unborn son. In retaliation, Maax ordered his witch servants to magically extract the infant from his mother's wound and kill him anyways. The unfortunate queen is killed and the infant prince, Dar, only survives because local villagers rescued him. Years later, Maax led the Juns in conquering Aruk, blinding and imprisoning Zed. Maax presides over brutal oppression of the kingdom, regularly sacrificing children to his god, Ar. He wipes out Dar's village, leading him into conflict with Dar himself. When Dar enters Maax's prison to free Zed, he discovers that Maax has innocent people tortured and transformed into mindless beats to serve as his guards. Maax later attempts to have Zed, his young son, and his cousin Kiri sacrificed to Ar. He then taunts Zed by revealing Dar is his son before killing him.

Why so serious?

[up][up][up] That writeup probably is a bit overlong, yes; more importantly, there are quite a few grammatical flubs in it (shifts in verb tense, subject-verb disagreements, etc.). You may want to trim it down and run it through the "Get Help With English Here" thread before it's added to the page.

[up][up] The link at the beginning should be to Film/TheBeastmaster; otherwise, you're linking to the trope of the same name.

[up][up][up][up] You could split that up into multiple paragraphs using double backslashes (see Text Formatting Rules); it would help with readability.

I think the Konami write up could do with a mention of how they bought the moderately known and loved company Hudson Soft and then did very little with their properties, resulting in Hudson fans hating Konami as well.

Before taking it to that English help topic, I think I could use some help about which sections needs to be turned into new paragraph. For instance, their missteps at 2015-2016? Or what else?

I admit that it may be too long, but really, I felt that those actions are actual necessities to be listed so the readers can understand just how low Konami has fallen these days.
