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.

On FiveManBand.Literature, please delete the examples for Liveship Traders and The Witcher, as they don't fit the trope. More detailed explanations as to why can be found in the dedicated cleap-up thread here, just in case: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13401353520A80460100&page=53#1319

Requesting Law Of Contagion as a redirect to The Laws of Magic. Some of the individual laws are fairly well-known, but the page describing them is hard to find.

Some of the other terms on that page, like Law Of Similarity, might work as redirects too, but Contagion seems the least likely to come up in other contexts.

At Film F To O, for Non Stop, please change the first sentence to:

Zack White and Tom Bowen send anonymous text messages to Bill Marks demanding $150 million, threatening to kill someone every 20 minutes if the money is not transferred.

Please also cut the Rex Mundi example from Comic Books.

Another slight change to the first sentence of the Wolf Creek entry at Other Media:

Michael "Mick" Taylor is an Australian killer, rapist, and torturer who preys upon tourists visiting the Wolf Creek area, falsely befriending them before taking them back to his home and slowly torturing them to death.

Trope redirects are for searchability. Someone must therefore be expected to search for the word you're proposing instead of the primary trope title. I challenge you to present evidence of the use of "dracohumanoid".

Time to hit Google.

Usage of the term is split between roleplayers (like here and here) and nutty conspiracy theorists (one of Vladimir Putin's past lives was apparently a draco humanoid, don't you know). However, the spacing is inconsistent - it varies between "dracohumanoid", "draco-humanoid", and "draco humanoid".

If you did decide to add it as a redirect, it would probably be best to wiki word it as Draco Humanoid. If not...well, no skin off my teeth.

"dragon humanoid" (with quotes) results in 33,600 hits on google whereas "draconic humanoid" (with quotes) comes up with about 3000. So... maybe Dragon Humanoid as a redirect?

2000 AD: For the Judge Death entry, please reword a rambling sentence thus:

[...] even at a young age. He was already obsessed with killing before he adopted his insane father's philosophy and love of torture and murdered his whole family. [...]

Got an edit suggestion for ya on the real life section for Moral Guardians, Professional Wrestling.

  • New York Post writer Phil Mushnick hated professional wrestling, and he wasn't content to just not watch it, he wanted to stop everybody else from watching it. When billionaire Ted Turner donated to charity Mushnick said he would have done better to close down WCW. He was behind the media assault on steroid use in professional wrestling and despite the likes of Vince McMahon being cleared Mushnick still claimed he was guilty. He claims all fans are mentally challenged and equates parents letting their children watch it to abuse. And he tries to use tragedies such as the unrelated death of Brian Pillman to spearhead taking down all wrestling promotions.

In the second-last paragraph of the description for Real Life, it includes a link to the Other Wiki page on the 2012 phenomenon, which has been outdated for almost 5 years. It would probably be better to unlink the words "coming soon" and link the word "in" in the note to that page.

For Live Action TVM To Z, from here:

  • Jafar stuff replaces the current entry under the Once Upon... tree.
  • Please add Paris Trout.
  • For Sharpe please double-indent Hakeswill and add Dragomirov below him.
  • Please move the Prisoner Zero entry from that page to Western Animation (Series).

Also, at Cartoon Network, for the Jonny Quest entry, that should be Elise Lenoir not Lenior.

Thanks.

Shouldn't the curly braces around Manfroy in that quote also be turned into brackets?

[up] We apparently do not have a page for Manfroy, so I think the curly brackets ought to be deleted unless that was how it actually looked in the source material (and I don't know if that's the case... le shrug). EDIT: Wait, you mean more like "... this dark bishop [Manfroy]"? Right, if the original quote has a pronoun and the name's replacing it, then yeah. Replacing with square brackets would be appropriate.

[down] My edit was [nja]'d. But yeah, I got what you meant after I posted.
