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.

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsThe YMMV page for Black Panther (2018) page was locked recently, so I would like to write this entry into the page:
- They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Queen Ramonda spent the later half of the movie completely Out of Focus despite the film focus heavily on the rest of the royal family. Her grief over her husband and son's apparent death is completely glossed over.

Should YMMV.Black Panther 2018 be added to Locked Pages? If not, sorry.
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!Can we cut (L) from caption of image for Assassin's creed Monster page?
Marquis de Fayet (L) branding a slave. He is the only one branding a slave in picture.
- 17376: Link the page and provide the write-up.
- 17380: Link the page.
DTH otherwise.

Relating to Black Panther, should we specify the much of the edit wars are tied to politics, namely Killmonger's motives?
What would be the benefit?
The Shadow Man entry at Video Games L To Z is mis-alphabetized.
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsI wanted to add the following to Black Panther (2018) Anvilicious: Downplayed. The movie doesn't shy from dropping some anvils on the refugee and aid problems, however it fairly explores both points of view and shows them discussed instead of branding one or another as wrong without argument.
However, seeing as it got locked I now have second thoughts whether it is even worth bringing up such a touchy subject on already touchy page.
- Add Ultimate End. We may also have a main bullet for Ultimate Marvel and secondary bullets for Ultimate End, Ultimate Marvel team up, Ultimate Origins and Ultimate Spider-Man, as they are all part of the same specific imprint.
- Remove "Follow the leader" and "Flip flop of God". Those belong in the Trivia section, and have already been moved there.
I would like to add this entry into the YMMV page for Black Panther:
- Germans Love David Hasselhoff:
- Unsurprisingly, Africa absolutely adores the film.
- Wales also loves the film as well because the first end-credit sequence implies that Wales is an independent and powerful country with their own flag and membership in the EU.
Per Discussion thread, can we get the Misaimed Fandom entry removed from YMMV.Black Panther 2018?
- 17384: Done
- 17385: If we're going to call something as "downplayed anvilicious", does it even still count as anvilicious?
- 17386: Please see Creator Page Guidelines. Trivia about creators go onto the main page.
- 17387: Wales, sure, but for Africa:
An African audience is not divorced from the production source for this film.
- 17388: I commented it out. If there is a decent reference for it, I'm all ears.

More stuff for A Song of Ice and Fire:
- For Maegor's entry, Jaerhaerys should be changed to Jaehaerys; also please change "King of Westeros" to "King of the Seven Kingdoms"
- For Rorge's entry (First folder), where it says "The girl in question is under ten years old", plese remove the word "under".
- For Joffrey and Aerys's entries in the first folder, please change "King of Westeros" and "true ruler of Westeros" to "King of the Seven Kingdoms" and "true ruler of the Seven Kingdoms", respectively.
Thanks..
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsRepetitive Title for "Double, Double" Title, as it's a more rigid version of a title version of Repetitive Name?

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576Why does Hollywood Tactics have a Real Life section? Isn't this a trope about breaks from reality? Real generals doing stupid things aren't examples because, by definition, reality plays out.
"[[KingArthur Arthur became legendary]]" to "[[Myth/KingArthur Arthur became legendary]]"
"[[KingArthur Arthur's]]" to "[[Myth/KingArthur Arthur's]]"
"in ''DMOfTheRings'' in this respect" to "in ''Webcomic/DMOfTheRings'' in this respect"
Remove this irrelevance:
"(We have a trope page for the FixFic ''FanFic/TiberiumWars'', by the way.)"

Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576Per the the Five-Man Band cleanup thread, remove the Dracula example from FiveManBand.Literature (hard to copy it on an iPad).
Now, the FMB subpages have a lot of shoehorned examples - even if I know nothing about the work, I know that examples are shoehorns because they use non-FMB tropes like Tagalong Kid, Mentor Archetype, Team Pet, Team Mom, etc. I wish that the Five-Man Band cleanup thread was as active as the one for Complete Monster, and like it, examples were requested to be added to and removed from the subpages in this thread regularly. But oh well.
Join the Five-Man Band cleanup project!Can you make Unkillable Gay and Unkillable Queer redirects to Preserve Your Gays, they have so many google results.
Edit: and maybe, maybe, The Lexa Pledge, since the internet likes that name, too.

OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!Could you please slightly edit the entry of Tiraz Malkizan from the Mass Effect Forum RPG on the CM Other Media page?
Change 'For that end' to 'To that end' and the 'despite being dead for over 5 years now.' to ' despite being dead since the early days of the RPG.' (so it doesn't have to be changed every year or so)

Lolita by Nabokov needs a trope "longlist" for the list of the schoolmates of Lolita starting with Angel, Grace and ending with Windmuller, Louise.
Also Quilty had a rasputinian death.
