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.

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.
I don't mean double brackets that link to page, I mean single brackets used when you replace words in quotes to provide context.

Like "he" in a quote is turned into "[Manfroy]".

Stupid pagetopper. Also got ninja'd.

Alright, at Shin Megami Tensei, please create a new sub-category called Shin Megami Tensei: Persona Persona sub-series and move it between the main series and the third group; please then move the final entry on that page to the new group. There will be 2 new entries to the Persona group with this week's CM batch. Please also change the appropriate part of the Persona 3 entry to this: The Protagonist's parents and Yukari's father

Also, please replace the current quote at Other Media (BIONICLE is getting its own page) with this:

"You see, in this world, there's people like me and there's people like you. And people like me eat people like you for breakfast and shit them out. You're nothing but foreign vermin, a stinking introduced species. And it's up to my kind to wipe your kind out. And that makes me the winner, which makes you..."

Two things. One: A History of Magic still has severe formatting errors and needs to be cleaned up. Two: I nominate Suguru Kamoshida and Masayoshi Shido from Persona 5 for Complete Monster status. Kamoshida dismantled the track team because Ryuji stood up to him, relieves stress by beating the members of the volleyball team, sexually assaults a student and drives her to attempt suicide, and attempts to have you and Ryuji expelled when you stand up to him. Shido emotionally manipulated a high-schooler into becoming his own personal hitman, had Futaba's mother assassinated in order to steal her research, frames you for assault and ruins your life in order to protect his own image after you stop him from sexually harassing a woman, disposes of his "allies" as soon as they outlive their usefulness (including Haru's father), has ties to the Yakuza, would rather kill himself (albeit temporarily) than repent for his crimes, and cuts you in line for the elevator.

Edit request for Final Fantasy VII: Playable Characters, Aerith's profile.

  • Fire/Water Juxtaposition: As part of her Evil Counterpart dichotomy with Sephiroth, Aerith is associated with water via Great Gospel and the Lifestream, contrasting Sephiroth's fire associations via the Nibelheim Incident and his Supernova attack.

I have one for Final Fantasy VII also. Please add this to either the main entry for the game, or the entry for Yuffie on the playable characters, whichever is felt is best:

Not Me This Time: There's a variation on this during the Wutai sequence. As the party approaches Wutai, they are confronted by a group of Shinra soldiers and Yuffie comments "I have nothing to do with this one!" As they'd already been a bit suspicious but didn't yet know that she had done anything, this clues them in when, during the battle with the soldiers, she's gone and so is all their materia.

Hey, I was wondering why the "Race- Privilege, Relations, Racism, etc." thread was locked? There doesn't seem to be any reason posted for the lock?

If this is the wrong place to post this question, kindly direct me to the appropriate thread, thank you.

I was wondering the same as [up]. I image it had something to do with coming too close advocating violence against others, but, it still seems pretty sudden.

I've asked about it in the moderator discussion. There was no holler and no prior discussion in the mod channels.

[up][up][up][up] This refers to an improper launch in YKTTW. Link to draft here and link to page here


Please move everything under "Awesome Music" on YMMV.Jon Tron to Awesome.Jon Tron (or would it be AwesomeMusic.Jon Tron?). The latter already lists the Katy Perry example. I think the music videos ought to go on Fan Fic Recs, rather than either of these pages, so I'm requesting they just be cut. Obviously the remixes of songs not sung by Jon or featured on Jon Tron should be cut.

Here's my suggestion for the move:

Please remove the BIONICLE example from Other Media (near the bottom); lock BIONICLE, and add the latter to these pages for works with their own examples:

Thanks.

On Monster.Western Anmation, delink WesternAnimation.Cadillacs And Dinosaurs in its entry since it redirects to ComicBook.Xenozoic Tales, which is linked later in the paragraph.

If new monster subpages are created, then should they be immediately locked?

FanFic.A History Of Magic

Edit in this as a working source for the story?


Health Point and Health Meter as redirects for Life variations of both?


Literature.Whateley Academy as a redirect for Literature.Whateley Universe ?

On the Hollywood Tactics page I wanted to add a note on the United States Civil war in the Real life section. Pickett's charge is covered extensively, but a note should be added about the war itself being a transition from pre-industrial revolution tactics to more modern ones. The war began with both sides employing Napoleonic tactics more or less (minus the artillery charges) and closed with trench warfare at Petersburg with the only major elements missing being machine guns and barbed wire. A major factor in this was the introduction of the Minie ball which led to widespread use of *rifled* muskets which were far more accurate than the smootbore muskets that Napoleon's troops and enemies used. For this reason alone a charging formation could expect loses of 50 - 70%, whereas in Napoleon's time the loss rate was closer to 15 - 25%. Pickett's charge is merely the most famous ruinous charge in a war filled with ruinous charges, but it would not be until the close of WWI a half century latter that better tactics would finally start to see use.
