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.

Up: The example for Window Pain, on top of being a Zero-Context Example, probably no longer fits the definition since it was changed in TRS (it's now specifically about breaking a window as a threat, usually by throwing a brick with a message tied to it). It should be cut, since it doesn't seem like the example is about the new definition, just windows being broken.
Since You Can Play This! was locked as I was editing it, can someone change the line "However, amidst the Channel Awesome drama in Spring, 2018" to "In Spring 2018"
As in 4 years people reading the page will have no clue what the "channel awesome drama of spring 2018" means, and the page itself provides no context, so it seems like better form.
Main.Charm School just got cut, but the phrase has been used in Real Life, for, as The Other Wiki says, finishing school.
Not sure if we have tropes that match, but here's a go:
* The [[Film/CharmSchool Mexican movie]]
* The [[Series/CharmSchool television series]].
* The [[Literature/CharmSchool spy novel]].
* A [[Music/CharmSchool musical album]].
* BoardingSchool
* LessonsInSophistication
If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.
----
* The [[Film/ChainReaction movie]]
* The [[Series/ChainReaction television series]].
* The ChainReactionDestruction trope, for destruction that causes other bits of destruction, in a chain.
If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.
----
* The [[Film/CowboysAndAliens movie]]
* The [[ComicBook/CowboysAndAliens comic book]].
* The SpaceWestern trope, mixing outer space and wild west.
If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.

Main.Colony as a redirect to Main.The Colony.
After which I'll wick VideoGame.Colony and Literature.Colony from Main.The Colony as well, if you don't do it for me.

Thank you.
In Monster.One Piece, could you please remove the Razor Floss pothole in the quote? Per Administrivia.Sink Hole, page quotes shouldn't have potholes.
If you're doing , then please wrap the Razor Floss pothole around "massacre everything in Dressrosa" in his entry.
Also, at Web Original, for the nosleep tree, please cut The Day I Lost My Faith and the final 2 entries (Jack and Seamus).

OH MY GOD; MY PARENTS ARE GARDENIIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!Action Man (2000): Please add:
- Earthquake Machine: The Quake suit of Powered Armor was designed by Japanese scientists to study tremors, but it could also produce them. It is subsequently stolen by a fat janitor who uses it to become the supervillain "Quake".

You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"On the same page as above, please change Enemy Mine to:
- Enemy Mine:
- In the "Swarm" two-parter, Action Man and Dr. X have to team up to stop a group of rogue trilobugs.
- In the grand finale Asazi teams up with Action Man against Dr. X to stop him from destroying the Earth.
This got inadvertently deleted from Batman, at the end of the Miscellaneous group (this may've been my bad):
- Joker: This self-titled graphic novel, released soon after The Dark Knight, was created specifically to remind people that no matter how "cool" The Joker may seem, he is still a monster. After being released from Arkham Asylum and being picked up by a man sent for him named Johnny Frost, the Joker goes to a bar to kill the bar owner by skinning him alive, despite the fact that he was the one who sent Johnny to pick the Joker up. After forcing the Penguin to work for him by threatening to feed him to Killer Croc, the Joker goes on to kill many people, before raping Johnny's wife Shelly. After that, the Joker sets the streets of Gotham on fire, and shoots Johnny when they are confronted by Batman.
- Spider-Man and Batman: Disordered Minds: Carnage and Joker are Ax-Crazy as usual:
- Cletus "Carnage" Kasady, much like his mainstream counterpart, is a killing-obsessed lunatic driven by sadism. Heavily implied by the narrative to have been the crook who murdered the Wayne parents, Carnage opens the comic being implanted with a microchip alongside the Joker that will "cure" him of his insanity after his latest killing spree. Revealed to have faked his "recovery", Carnage brutally maims several innocents to distract Batman and Spider-Man while he kidnaps the Joker, destroying the clown's microchip and proposing a partnership. This doesn't last long, as Carnage attempts to murder the Joker after a difference of opinion on how to hurt the city of Gotham best. Capturing Batman, Carnage reveals his plan to simply slaughter each and every innocent in Gotham one by one so as to bask in their screams and fear, and attempts to kick off his massacre by killing Batman on live television for all of Gotham to see and despair at. Carnage was utter madman who rejoiced in his "black heart" and depravity, and who wanted nothing more than to butcher every thing in sight.
- The Joker, as usual, is a theatrical sadist who contrasts Carnage's wanton bloodlust with concentrated, depraved flourish, and is possibly the one who murdered Spider-Man's Uncle Ben. Introducing himself in the comic by attempting to unleash a swarm of poisoned bats to drive all of Gotham to fatal insanity, Joker is eventually subdued and briefly controlled under the influence of a microchip that suppresses his insanity. Once freed from the chip's influence by Carnage, Joker initially takes up Carnage on his offer of a partnership, intending to have hundreds of needy children around Gotham horribly killed by his poisoned "presents". Once Carnage turns on Joker for his difference in opinion, Joker attempts to kill him and eventually resolves to release his insanity virus on Gotham anyways, solely to stick it to Carnage for invading on his turf.
Also, for Literature M To Z, please change the Old Kingdom entry title to Sabriel and alphabetize appropriately.

All the non-archive wicks to Main.TwilightZone, don't exist, and are all from Locked pages.
What happened was that System reversions didn't correct the wicks. Please null edit the pages, to fix?
Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576Locked Pages: Please change the bit about the Vampire Diaries pages to specify that only the mainline Literature and Series pages, as well as the Characters pages, are actually locked (everything else, including the YMMV, is currently open).
Just saying "and subpages" makes it sound like all the pages with that title are locked (see the recent ROCEJ clampdown on You Can Play This). Or was something screwed up and they are all supposed to be locked? In that case, fix the problem.

Can you recreate and cut Main.Cokey to get rid of a ghost wick?

Please remove the Godzilla examples from Comic Books, and add Godzilla to that page for examples with their own pages. Thanks.
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsAdd this to PRLC: Franchise.Twilight Zone: Incorrect redirect that was cut then latched onto by a persistent ban evader/vandal.
- It's already locked. Red Linking seems a bit redundant?
... And just realized that PRLC doesn't force red linking for pages that would normally be blue...
So, the purpose of PRLC, that's not already served by the cut and lock, is?
Main.Stream Of Consciousness to Inner Monologue, because that's what it was before it was blanked for inaccuracy, and then cut.
But, my ATT query (Is StreamOfConsciousness a good redirect to InnerMonologue?)...
That hasn't demonstrated consensus on whether it fits or not, so this might be wrong.
