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
.
- 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.
- 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.

Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)Sick Puppies was locked because it didn't have examples, right? Can it be unlocked? I want to re-create it.
Alright I have split 4 works with the name "Dark Matter" to disambiguated names so I want to request an update to Dark Matter accordingly
- Change Dark Matter to Dark Matter (2015)
- Change the Dark Matter pothole to Dark•Matter (1999) (the link, not the display text)
As well as the following additions:
- Dark Matter (2017), the DC comic book imprint spinning out of Dark Nights: Metal.
- Dark Matter (2010), the book written by Michelle Paver.

Some of the examples under Five-Man Band seem really shoehorned and don't work as examples.
Literature:
Percy Jackson and the Olympians - Book 4 (Rachel is no more an 'official' member of the team than Nico, and doesn't even fit the Smart Guy role all that well.)
A Song of Ice and Fire - the Stark children (There's six Stark kids.)
Live Action TV:
Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor and Companions

~The Nerf Guy: We don't erase all edits by ban evaders on principle. It depends on the circumstances. A person who is clearly here to serve a personal agenda, or commit vandalism, gets their edits reverted in part because it may frustrate them into giving up. Otherwise, it's not worth the effort. A bad edit is a bad edit; it gets removed regardless of the status of the editor. For other edits, it's a judgment call.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"At Marvel Comics, for Ultron (the first one, NOT the What If? one), please replace the first sentence with this (just some pothole tweaking):
Ultron, shortly after his activation, gained a malignant intelligence, came to the conclusion that morality was irrelevant and humanity was flawed, and sought to Kill All Humans and replace them with androids like himself.

Migrated to Chloe Jessica!
Uh, no. We're not supposed to split sentences between potholes like that. See Sink Hole.
I think All Blue Entry is more appropriate, though there is a sinkhole or two there.

In Monster.Assassins Creed, is it possible to correct "franchuse" by "franchise"?
Whoops. Yes, please fix that (it's in the header).
Also (and this is my bad), at Anime And Manga K To Z, please move the Sorcerer Stabber Orphen entry after the Slayers duo.
In addition, at Film A To E, I think the Dark entries may be alphabetized incorrectly (Satan should probably go before Walter; not sure about Durant).

Can Laconic.Fast Eddie be replaced with this?
The troper: TV Tropes' retired founder.
The video game: A platformer about a man trying to collect things like hearts.
I'm asking because I've just made a page for a game with the same name.

Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)It should be cut. We don't create laconics for works or users. It's more of a joke than anything.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"We have plenty of joke laconics around. Which is a problem but Laconic.Fast Eddie does not appear to be a problem child.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanI was looking through Poison Oak Epileptic Trees Archive and Poison Oak Epileptic Trees Archive Two and noticed that there were some inappropriate Complete Monster wicks that should be cleaned up. I'm leaving the ones that are integral to the entry, but here are the ones that should be changed.
From Poison Oak Epileptic Trees Archive:
- Under the "Obadiah Stane is physically abusive to his daughter, if not outright sexually abusive" entry, change "But he is a Complete Monster towards her" to "But he is a irredeemable monster".
From Poison Oak Epileptic Trees Archive Two:
- Under the "N was sexually abused by Ghetsis" entry, deleted the Complete Monster wick in "And seeing as how Ghetsis is the unparalleled pinnacle of cunt in the Pokémon world".
- Under the "Concordia and Anthea are the result of Wife Husbandry by Ghetsis" entry, delete the Complete Monster wick in "Any child of Ghetsis is a rapechild".
- Under the "Lucky Star is all Konata's fantasies" entry, delete the Complete Monster in "This is, in South Park, also what Eric Cartman did to get out of the "bullied" gutter and become a bully himself"
- Change "Complete Monster" to "monster" in "Adolf Hitler didn't want a world war and kill all the Jews. He actually only wished to bring Germany out of the Great Depression, and was a pacifist who completely disapproved of the Holocaust and other Utopia Justifies the Means methods for peace, until a Geass hit him and turned him into the antisemitic warmongering genocidal Complete Monster we all know today". Yes, that's the entire header for the entry.
Can you please change The Rookie to The Rookie on Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male

A few more minor things:
At Spider-Man, before the "Examples from..." stuff, please put "For each category, examples are published by order of appearance/publication date."
At Batman, please make the heading thus:
Post-Crisis (by order of appearance)
Thanks.
