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.

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.

[nja] Also, at Marvel Literature, please capitalize "Super Thriller''.

On OTT, please do a blank edit using

as an edit reason. I want to see if this is the banner that Septimus Heap was talking about.

Sick Puppies was locked because it didn't have examples, right? Can it be unlocked? I want to re-create it.

Aye, unlocked it.

Piterpicher, while this isn't a NPP I am still wary of plugging random code somewhere.

Regarding serial ban evaders, if they posted here and requested edits, would those edits be removed on principle since the ban evader is technically not supposed to request edits anywhere on the wiki?

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

As well as the following additions:

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.

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.

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"?

#16368: Aug 22nd 2017 at 6:31:14 AM

[up] 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?

I'm asking because I've just made a page for a game with the same name.

It should be cut. We don't create laconics for works or users. It's more of a joke than anything.

We have plenty of joke laconics around. Which is a problem but Laconic.Fast Eddie does not appear to be a problem child.

I 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".
