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.

Hello, I would like to add an alternative title for Fake Defector: Face-Heel Mole.

declined. does not mean the same thing at all; we don't need more snowclones, especially as redirects. ~M

I also requested an alternate title to BFS: RHS, which stands for Ridiculously Huge Sword.

Declined. the only reason we've kept BFS is because it has widespread use outside the wiki. The request does not. ~M.

Please redirect Inescapable Fate Worse than Death to And I Must Scream (taken directly from the first paragraph of the article's description, which is summarized by the second line of the Laconic subpage).

Please change

As a response to this ATT thread, asking for a lock of FanficRecs.Template Page For New Fandom Recommendations. Two of the other templates are already locked (probably due to being very common), but this one's having some weirdness associated with it for some strange reason.

I think FanWorks.Template Page For New Fandom Recommendations has been added to the cutlist, but mentioning it here to be complete.

... When I see "The Chosen Ones", I immediately think of a story having multiple characters who are each The Chosen One of a different prophecy/legend/religion and thus have no actual connection to each other, perhaps even being in conflict with each other due to mutually incompatible goals (e.g. two Chosen Ones are to save their respective races, but the only way to do so requires sacrificing the other Chosen One's race).

So nix on that redirect, please.

At Video Games A To K, for Criminal Case, for the second entry, please get rid of the parenthetical.

At Video Games L To Z, for Resident Evil, please add this after Brian Irons, and then move Lansdale right below this:

  • Resident Evil 4: Osmund Saddler, the Faux Affably Evil master of Los Illuminado ("The Enlightened Ones"), reawakens the Las Plagas parasites, infecting multiple villagers before determining the strain works. Injecting himself with a "master" Plaga, Saddler spreads the parasite to the rest of the village, destroying the minds of everyone it comes into contact with and leaving them as Saddler's puppets. Saddler also conducts horrible experiments on those in his clutches and disposes of the corpses by feeding them to Las Plagas infected monsters. However, when children are infected they die painfully due to their bodies not being developed enough to handle the strain. Saddler plans to use the President's daughter to infect her father and from there take over the US and then the rest of the world, infecting everyone with Las Plagas and leaving them as broken shells for him to control while Saddler reigns over the world.

Since Silicon-Based Life.Other is used for examples that follow the traditional style of the Silicon-Based Life trope save for the fact that the element used in lieu of carbon is not silicon, I proprose the redirects Exotic Element-Based Life and/or Non-Carbon-Based Life to either Silicon-Based Life or its subpage Silicon-Based Life.Other, whichever you deem is more appropiate.

Could you please redirect Silicon Based Biochemistry and Exotic Biochemistry to Silicon-Based Life? Searching for "silicon-based life" on the Other Wiki automatically sends you to this article, whose title and content made me realize that Silicon-Based Life is simply "silicon-based biochemistry"; and since non-silicon-based examples are permitted and the whole concept is based on the exoticness of using a chemical element other than carbon in the latter's place in an organism's biochemistry, "exotic biochemistry" seems to be the most logical choice of name that doesn't make preassumptions about the choice of element.

PS: I wish I had realized this sooner before [up]. ^^;

PPS: The Other Wiki also uses the term "exotic element-based biochemistry" as a heading of one subsection. I leave it up to the staff to determine whether or not Exotic Element Based Biochemistry is acceptable as an additional redirect (it would be understandable to nix it on account of it being rather lengthy compared to, say, Exotic Biochemistry).

A couple monster stuff:

  • At Film F To O, please move the No Tears... entry right after the No Good Deed entry (alphabetization).
  • Please remove Rurouni Kenshin from Film and Anime & Manga for works with their own pages.
  • At Cartoon Network please get rid of the parentheticals around series for Ben 10 (actually, just make it franchise please, e.g. Ben 10 franchise)..

Requesting that Location Title (which was an alternate name proposed for the YKTTW) be made into a redirect for The Place.

(Actually, what I really want is to rename the trope, but I'll hold off pending TRS backlog clearage before pushing that.)

Done ~M.
