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. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

... Or are UN pages not supposed to have Laconics?

Please replace the contents at Marvel Comics with the content inside the folder at CM Pothole Removals Drafts. It's pothole removal and reformatting.

Also, at The Punisher, for the header, after the film stuff, please add this:

At Anime And Manga K To Z, for Phantom of Inferno, please get rid of the Mad Scientist pothole for the anime.

Please cut Zanza from Video Games L To Z (Xeno tree).

Please move the Thundercats entry from Western Animation (series) to Cartoon Network.

Also, at Star Wars, for Chantique, please change "A brutal sadist who was not above outright murdering his victims" to "...murdering her victims'''.

At Anime And Manga A To J, please group the following entries thustly:

  • A Certain... (Toaru) franchise:
    • A Certain Magical Index: Terra of the Left is a murderer and a member of the elite Vatican unit God's Right Seat. Unlike his less psychotic colleagues, Terra exists only to kill those who aren't Catholic, not even seeing them as human beings. To assist in regaining his power, Terra outright slaughters a host of tourists, including the children, which prompts his comrade, Acqua of the Back, to turn on him. Terra's goal is no less than the utter genocide of every man, woman and child who won't serve the Vatican.
    • A Certain Scientific Railgun:
      • Kihara Gensei, the patriarch of the Kihara family, is responsible for nasty experiments on children, which resulted in many of them suffering permanent trauma, all so that he could create a powerful Level 6 Esper. Gensei has no compunction murdering people in his path. The first "sample" of his experiments was his own granddaughter: Gensei overloaded her mind to collect samples from her, and repeated this process on other children as well. Gensei was fond of manipulating his own family members into becoming his test subjects, even though he knew that a massive surge would possibly destroy all of Academy City.
      • His granddaughter Therestina Lifeline is just as cruel and twisted. Wanting to follow Gensei's example, Therestina abducted children and put them in comas so she could harvest the samples from their minds. Gensei manipulated the young heroines into providing cover for her, all the while intending to overload the minds of the children she kept under sedation, fully aware this would destroy all of Academy City and not caring as long as she achieved the "perfection" she hungered for.

On UsefulNotes.Osama Bin Laden:

  • Please add the following example: "One Of Us: Yes, actually - it was discovered after his death that he was a huge anime and video game fan. (Of course, being in the position he was in, he pirated said anime and games.)"
  • Please uncapitalize the word "These" in the Elite Army example.
  • Please change the Majored in Western Hypocrisy example to fall under Hypocrite. (Majored in Western Hypocrisy is about Western reactions to educated foreigners.)
  • Please change the The Stateless example to properly be past tense.

For those uncoded redirects, is there something we tropers can do or is it a moderator thing? I mean, is there some minor error that used to be unimportant but now it makes it not show up properly?

All you have to do on uncoded redirects is add the namespace. [[redirect:Afrofuturism]] to [[redirect:Main/Afrofuturism]]. But if it has very few inbounds and/or wicks, I just add it to the cut list.

At Superman, please rearrange the Miscellaneous category thusly:

  • The Dark Knight Strikes Again:
    • Lex Luthor is Superman's Arch-Enemy and the current de facto ruler of the United States. Seizing control of the country after installing a hologram to assume the role of the president, Luthor proceeded to turn the entire country into a police state. Recruiting the help of Brainiac, Luthor kept the superheroes of Earth in line by threatening to kill their loved ones. The heroes that Luthor did not find useful were either imprisoned or subjected to horrific genetic experiments. After a series of raids by led by Batman reinvigorates the public's interest in superheroes, Luthor snaps and begins cracking down on any super-heroic activities. Luthor launches a missile strike against Costa Rica that kills Hawkman and Hawkgirl, while he orders his forces to open fire on a concert held by "The Superchix". Luthor has Brainiac kill thousands of people in Metropolis in an attempt to discredit superheroes, not caring at all about the innocent lives lost. Luthor later captures Batman and begins torturing him while gloating how the rebellion has given him the perfect opportunity to use his satellite defense network to kill most of the world's population and allow him to rule what's left. Lacking any pretenses of helping his fellow man, Lex Luthor is motivated entirely by his lust for power.
    • Brainiac is an alien cyborg who partners up with Lex Luthor in order to make sure that Superman is compliant with Luthor's regime. Holding the bottled city of Kandor hostage, Brainiac murders a Kryptonian family for every time that Superman refuses to follow their orders. In an attempt to publicly discredit superheroes, Brainiac attacks Metropolis and orders Superman to not fight back or he'll have all of Kandor destroyed. Brainiac proceeds to wail on Superman when he refuses to flee, and continues on his rampage. While he is eventually stopped by Superman's daughter Lara, Brainiac's assault ends up killing thousands of people, including Captain Marvel, Jimmy Olson, and Lois Lane. Lara travels to Brainiac's hideout to free the citizens of Kandor by pretending to surrender, but not before Brainiac attempts to turn her into his subservient slave. Driven by sadism rather than his usual logic, Brainiac takes immense pleasure in the pain and suffering that he causes others.
  • Elseworlds:
    • Superman: At Earth's End: The DNA Diktators, revealed to be cloned twins of Adolf Hitler, are two biology-perverting madmen obsessed with continuing their work from World War II in creating a "Master Race". As clones of Hitler, the Diktators happily take responsibility for their original form's crimes, and continue these in the present by rounding up thousands of innocents, performing horrific experiments on them that leave them in constant agony, then grinding them up into raw material to create an army of mutant Nazi stormtroopers. After their mutant monsters fail to murder numerous children who escaped the Diktators' grasp, the Diktators order the children, alongside Superman, all murdered by their various creations, even having defiled the corpse of the hero Batman by using his corpse to create nightmarish bat monsters that they sic on Superman to torment him. Utter sociopaths with delusions of godhood and megalomania, these clones of Hitler display all of their original's cruelty and evil in their quest for a perfect race.
    • Superman: The Dark Side, by John Francis Moore et al.: In this Elseworlds take on Superman's origin, Darkseid uses a Boomtube to teleport baby Kal-El's ship to Apokolips after the destruction of Krypton. After murdering two of his slaves who discover the ship, Darkseid raises Kal-El in isolation. Naming Kal-El Superman, Darkseid presents him to the public in a gladiatorial match, where Superman defeats Darkseid's son Kalibak. Darkseid orders Superman to kill Kalibak after he is defeated. Darkseid then orders Superman to go to New Genesis and destroy it with an Omega Bomb. Though High Father manages to save some of the New Gods, most of the population of New Genesis dies. High Father reveals Darkseid's lies to Superman and teleports Superman to Earth. However. Darkseid soon arrives on Earth and discovers that Superman's DNA contains the Anti-Life Equation. Darkseid has Desaad torture Superman and then uses the Anti-Life Equation to turn everyone on Earth into his mindless slaves, intending to do the same to the rest of the galaxy.
  • Supergirl: The Post-Crisis version of Benjamin Martin Krull, alias Reactron, was never a nice guy, and is Supergirl's Arch-Enemy. His first clash with Supergirl saw a vast amount of property damage and significant casualties, with many survivors suffering from radiation sickness or cancer. It was in the New Krypton storyline, however, where Reactron really crossed the line. Having been rebuilt by Lex Luthor into a cyborg with a Gold Kryptonite heart, Reactron invades New Krypton alongside Metallo, depowering and killing numerous Kryptonians, threatening to rape Supergirl, and then murdering her father, Zor-El, in front of her by giving him radiation sickness. Tasked by General Lane with eliminating Supergirl, Flamebird, and Nightwing, Reactron murdered all the soldiers assigned to help him when they expressed doubts about the mission, and did his best to slowly torture Supergirl and Flamebird to death, all while gloating about how fighting two such attractive girls was a dream come true (strongly implying he'd like to rape them). Captured and tortured by Supergirl's mother, Alura, Reactron waited until Supergirl came to free him from the torture chamber to reveal that his capture had been a set up and that Luthor had transformed him into a living bomb. Detonating himself with a smile, Reactron gives a serene look as he incinerates Alura, the city of Kandor, and the entire planet of New Krypton, killing over ninety percent of the population in a single fell swoop. A lech, a bully, and a thug at his core, Reactron is a study in just how horrific it can be when somebody like that gets their hands on real power, and has done more to hurt Supergirl than any of her other adversaries, killing her father, her mother, and her entire race in a matter of weeks.

At DC Comics, for Miscellaneous, please remove the Wonder Woman: Amazonia entry and replace The Golden Age entry with this:

  • Elseworlds:
    • The Golden Age: The Big Bad Duumvirate, consisting of Adolf Hitler and the Ultra-Humanite, aim to Take Over the World. During World War II, the Ultra-Humanite performed inhumane experiments on German prisoners to perfect his process to Body Surf, killing all the scientists who helped him, before placing his mind inside superhero Tex Thompson. Becoming an American senator, the Ultra-Humanite places Hitler's brain inside another superhero, Dynaman, and the duo begin plotting to take over America and launch a war on all communist countries. When exposed at a press conference, Hitler attacks the heroes present, killing many civilians in his rampage, while ranting he will use his newfound power to conquer the planet with force.
    • Justice Riders, by Chuck Dixon & J.H. Williams III: Maxwell Lord is a greedy robber baron with a sinister scheme. Wiping out Sheriff Diana Prince's hometown, Paradise, along with everyone in it, Lord goes on to massacre at least another five towns in the way of him laying his railroad to California. When Diana confronts Lord for destroying Paradise, he reveals he believes profit justifies any action he takes, even toying with the idea of conquering California and wiping out the population to replace them with his robotic minions.
    • Wonder Woman: Amazonia, by William Messner-Loebs et al.: King Jack Planters is a seemingly-noble American who takes the throne after a mysterious explosion decimates the entirety of the Royal Family. In truth the notorious Jack the Ripper who rigged the explosion himself after his initial killings, Jack keeps the sole survivor as a paralyzed trophy and plunges his nation into a brutal war with France whilst keeping the women of the country as lower-class citizens. A raving misogynist in his meantime, Jack invents a drug to erase men's "femininity" to reduce them to bloodthirsty beasts and spreads the drug among his inner circle to have them hunt down and butcher captured women for sport, hoping to raise his son as an equally-bloodthirsty heir and laughing that he slaughtered his own wife alongside a hundred others for the purpose of establishing a "Ripper's world" among the land he rules over. Even when Diana herself saves his life from an earlier attack, Jack smugly brushes the matter off by revealing the attempted assassin was a friend of Jack's before he murdered his daughter in a fit of cruel lust, later trying to make Diana herself as the centerpiece of his latest hunt while kidnapping her children to grow up under cruel experimentation.

Hello. Is this the proper place to request a page or pages being locked down?

Because if it is, on an ATT query, I am requesting that all pages connected to The Last Jedi being locked due to controversy currently surrounding that movie. Said controversy includes reported heat vent editing. More info.

If this is off-topic, feel free to thump.

Right place, it was discussed in the moderator forum but I don't think we have a consensus yet. A recently released major work is going to trigger a mass of edits, having them all locked out means either a lot of work in the edit requests thread and a lot of good edits going amiss.
