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.

I'm surprised that Four-Man Band isn't locked, unlike Five-Man Band. But is the former suffering from definition drift too?

On the Would You Rather writeup on Monster.Film S To Z, please change "Shep" to "Shepard."

Whoops, my bad. Briggs goes to Star Trek, at the end of the Literature group.
Also, at Anime And Manga A To J, Lecoque should go after the Fairy Tale tree.

Hi in Star Trek there's an error.
Please change in the entry for kivas Fago. From this:
hepoisons an inhabited planet's water supply
To this:
he poisons an inhabited planet's water supply
As the two words are combined and this is to sepaerate them.

Really not seeing the Green Eggs And Ham use
OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!
Well, it came from my Redirects -> Disambigs thread. Water Blap approved of it anyway.
I had the idea, 'cause Green Eggs is / was a redirect to Palette-Swapped Alien Food.

I'm not convinced that Green Eggs formerly existing as a redirect is a favor to the disambig argument, since it was cut for having minimal inbounds (8).

- Well, I guess I'll holler ~Water Blap over, 'cause I'm apathetic, but he's got some skin in the game from upvoting my suggestion, I guess?

There are sosme criteria we were using in the disambig discussion thread but tbh it looks like we're flying blind. It would help if a mod commented about that in the thread, honestly. The disambig suggestion for Green Eggs And Ham fit a majority of those criteria.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
Since his creator page is closed, I'd like a few things to be added to the Brian Michael Bendis page:
- In 2017, he became an exclusive DC Comics creator, leaving Marvel after 17 years
- Add in Action Comics and Superman to the titles he's worked on as it's been confirmed he's taking over both titles.
Also about Bendis:
- Add The Defenders (2017)
- Running Gag: Each time he writes a scene at a police station, there are some cops in the background detaining some nutcase, cosplayed as a superhero and shouting nonsenses, which actually make reference to some comic book event elsewhere (for example, a Scarlet Witch shouting "No more mutants! No more mutants!", or a Carol Danvers shouting "Choose your side! Choose your side!"). In Defenders 9, the nutcase is modeled after him, and shouts "A 17-year running gag is not easy to pull off!"
- Remove Follow the Leader and Flip-Flop of God (trivia, already moved to the right place)

Is You Fail Biology Forever ("YouFailBiologyForever") supposed to be wiki worded as Artistic License – Biology or is that in error? I'm asking because I could see a reason either for or against it.

What I've seen over the years on the Wiki is that we usually use a dash surrounded by spaces. Though, the redirect's wiki word uses a hyphen rather than a dash, which would need to be corrected anyway.

There really shouldn't be spaces around the dashes in any case. Chicago MoS forbids spaces, while the AP guide allows up to half a space—but we don't really support half-spaces, so that leaves no spaces as our only real option.
17258: Did the other two. I'll pop in on the disambig thread more often.
* The [[Series/CardShark series]].
* The CardSharp trope, for a card-playing conman.

* The TermiteTrouble trope, for when termites are presented as a problem.
* Our [[JustForFun/{{Termites}} joke page]] on the topic.

Hi
Those are done.
Could you please change Pathfinder to Pathfinder on Film K To R
Hi
Unofficial Wiki Curator for Complete Monster
Please lock The Ultraverse and add it to Comic Books for works with their own pages.
Please cut Matt Engarde from Ace Attorney and Lore from Star Trek.
At Monster.Yu Gi Oh, please replace the entire Yu-Gi-Oh! GX section with this:
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime
- Brron, Mad King of Dark World, is demented and sadistic, ruling the Spirit World as its vile dictator and being responsible for its deplorable state and the oppression of its denizens. His right-hand man, Zure, oversaw Brron's will, detaining anyone who defied him in internment camps while killing Duelists who could be threats to him. The executions occurred at his fortress and involved releasing monsters at disarmed Duelists while Brron himself and his minions watched the spectacle. After learning of Jaden's presence in his domain, Brron orchestrated a plot that involved turning Jaden evil by sacrificing all of his friends one by one with his set of "Wicked Doctrine" cards to create the "Super Fusion" card. After his defeat, Brron, before dying, mocked Jaden by saying that he would never see his friends again before dying.
