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:
- Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
- Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
- 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.
- We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
- If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here
.
- If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
- To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
- Some locked pages have ongoing cleanup threads, like Complete Monster (Thread), Five-Man Band (Thread), and Magnificent Bastard (Thread). Other than purely technical requests, edits to these pages ought to be discussed in these threads first.
- Also, we do not do direct edits (other than changing wicks) to Magnificent Bastard or Complete Monster example lists. Rather, you need to do the edit to a sandbox page that follows the format Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard<Name of the example subpage> and Sandbox.Monster<Name of the example subpage> (e.g for Monster.Disney it's Sandbox.Monster Disney) and ask for it to be swapped in on Saturday for Magnificent Bastard and on Monday for Complete Monster.
- 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.

Welcome To TV Tropes has a typo in the "Creating Redirects" section. Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuuutsu has a third "u" that shouldn't be there—the correct spelling is Suzumiya Haruhi No Yuutsu.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
^That's actually the correct romanization, albeit not the common one.

Well at any rate, it's not currently an actual redirect, so I dunno, something's gotta change one way or another.

Hi, I'd like to edit The Bible (particularly the Arc Number section for Forty) to read:
- Forty—First appears as the number of days and nights it rained during the deluge; among other things the number of years that the Israelites roamed through the desert.
- Commonly used in the Bible and other ancient Near Eastern literature as flowery shorthand for "a long time".
- Forty—First appears as the number of days and nights it rained during the deluge; among other things the number of years that the Israelites roamed through the desert.

The Double Standard edit has not happened yet. Is this because the mods are super busy and haven't gotten to it (considering the various backlogs, and holidays), or was my request rejected for some reason?
Anyway, Nietzsche Wannabe needs to have its Older Than Dirt wick removed as well. Since that index was redefined to cut off at 800 BC, Achilles / The Iliad no longer counts as Older Than Dirt.
EDIT: The wick is 4th from the bottom of the Literature folder. The name Achilles is also italicized by mistake.

Oppression anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere.
The mods haven't been responding to this thread lately; it's likely because of the holidays.
- Septimus Heap: SA link fixed
- Arcades Sabboth: In the future it would help if you would link to the sandbox page or just put the edit you wanted in the post rather than sending me to two different pages to make the edit.
- My Timing Is Off: moved
- troacctid: u removed.
- Zernik: Not going to add third level Natter, edited your example to avoid that.
The mods have been busy as hell. Thank you for your patience.

I just created a page for Let's Player Supergreatfriend. Could someone please add it to the index on Let's Play?

OK sorry Blackcat. In the future I will include a link.
I figured the mods are very busy, plus it is holidays.

Done. I would appreciate it if you would set the page type of each page you make by clicking on "set page type" in the tools menu. I set this one to "Creator or person".

Please change the HC Bailly wick in Let's Play to HC Bailly, as I namespaced the page ages ago.

I wanted to give a Christmas present to my buddy Deboss and put the Complete Works of Shakespeare on his user page, but it's locked. :-(
Can you help me out?
No, I will not. certes suspended as a sock of the vandal who wiped a troper's page.

Please edit Literature.The Bible to remove the Older Than Dirt wick. That index was redefined to remove the confusing situation of having half the Bible in one index and half in another.
The relevant change has been made, to the last paragraph above the trope lists, of Sandbox.The Bible.
Old version:
One of the Trope Makers; tropes that appear in it are by definition Older Than Feudalism (or Older Than Dirt if they occur in portions of the first five books of the Old Testament).
New version:
One of the Trope Makers; tropes that appear in it are by definition Older Than Feudalism. While some parts of the Old Testament may be somewhat older than 800 BCE, it would be very confusing to try to sort tropes into multiple indexes based on which book and verse they came from.
Thank you.

One for Camacan: Your Troper page contains ptitle markup that needs to be changed to Wiki Word links, since we're trying to get rid of it completely (the markup, not your Troper page).
Can the other mods also look at their pages and make sure they have removed ptitle markup from their Troper pages, as well. Thank you.

Gotta trope, dood!
Just noticed a typo in the last paragraph on the Wall Banger page-
Should probably be "[...] If their facts are wrong[...]"

They lost me. Forgot me. Made you from parts of me. If you're the One, my father's son, what am I supposed to be?
The last of the concerted If You Know What I Mean cleanup:
- Prince of Persia has a sinkhole which should be deleted.
- Ranma ½ has a wick which should be changed to Double Entendre.
- Side Effects Include... has a sinkhole which should be deleted.
Thanks!

That's not the last of it. The "related-to" page still hasn't been fixed, and therefore it's still not showing wicks for pages that haven't been edited since the page was initially cut.
I'm aware of that, but it's the last of the ones (~1500) that had shown up since the cut happened. I'll get the rest as they trickle in.

Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking should mention its relationship to Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
It's super effective.
There's a typo in TVTropesTheTVShow.Proposed Recurring Fictites. Instead of "Like [[series/DoctorWho The Master]], Artemis has worked and is still working...", it should be "Like [[Series/DoctorWho the Master]]...", with a lowercase t.

Characters.The Bible has a wick to Mixed Marriage that needs to be switched to Maligned Mixed Marriage.

Monster.Western Animation has Ren listed as an example. He's plainly supposed to cross the line twice, and it even mentions him seeming ashamed of himself. Could someone have it removed?

I cleaned some YMMV items off of the main page for Outnumbered, but the YMMV page is locked, so I can't move them there. Here they are:
SIDE NOTE: There was also a Memetic Mutation entry, but I left that out because it was an X Just X that didn't say what the meme actually was.
