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.

Can we temporarily lock Avengers: Infinity War? It's arguably the most anticipated movie since The Force Awakens (which was locked the weekend it came out to avoid early-bird spoilers) and already its page is having spoilers added (almost certainly from that damn Forbes article).

Unless there's a documented issues with the edits, then there's no need for a lock. DTH otherwise.

I've tried not to look too closely at the edits themselves, given that I still plan on seeing the movie, but I think the fact that the movie hasn't even been released yet should be more than enough reason to lock the page (and its subpages) for at least a few days and stop the flow of spoilers. I started a thread on the movie's discussion page, and I've gotten a fair number of responses in favor of locking it.

Please remove the Yumekui Merry from Anime And Manga K To Z and add it to Anime And Manga A To J as follows:

  • Dream Eater Merry: The anime-exclusive character, Mystleteinn/Mistleteinn/Mistilteinn Treesea, is a vicious Dream Demon who tortures and eats others of her kind. Joining forces with Ryota Ijima, the duo plan to ruin the dreams of others, Treesea happily implanting Dream Demons on innocent students, resulting in them becoming utterly emotionless and apathetic towards the future of their own lives. Confronted by Merry in Isana's dream, Treesea taunts her and tries to kill her own Dream Demon she attached to Isana to harvest her. In her final confrontation with the heroes, Treesea imprisons Merry in to drown her in her own sorrow and mocks the Heroic Sacrifice performed by two heroes as "fruitless".

Item Number to The Item Number? I just fixed two wicks like that.


Gargoyles:

''Gargoyles'' may refer to:

* The [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} cartoon]].
* OurGargoylesRock, for the creature known as "gargoyles".

If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.

Forenperser posted the following on Ask The Tropers:

I've been thinking about that one for quite a long time, as I honestly am not the kind of guy to tell on somebody, and the troper seems to have a lot of good edits in general, but this particular thing has gone on far too long now. Tuvok seems to have a pretty heavy case of Single-Issue Wonk on the character 'Grant Ward' from the show Agents of Shield, with his character folder being listed here. I'll admit, this character has proven himself to be very controversial among the fans, but he seems almost hellbent on deleting pretty much anything positive or morally ambiguous about him, even though that was kind of the point. A lot of his reasonings seem to fall under his personal interpretation, with numerous people disagreeing over time, and as I've said (just look for yourself at the edit history of the page), this has gone on for years by now (even longer than the actual edit history of the page, as said page has been renamed and moved several times). Essentially, the whole character has been the subject of an extremely long edit war. And it has never been brought to discussion, he just straight up deletes what he doesn't like.

Comments? Does this belong in this thread?

Edit:Someone from the ATT query that discussed this has suggested a "preventative" page-lock on a new page for the character of Grant Ward.

Delete this piece from the Keiji Inafune entry from Fallen Creator:


[...] to the point his fellow ex-Capcom employee Hideki Kamiya stated on Twitter that Inafune was "a businessman, not a creator."
The entry predates long enough the Internet Backdraft of the underwhelming reception of Mighty No. 9. The phrase just was retaken because it was more widespread that Inafune was not the actual creator of Mega Man. That said, Kamiya had his reservations about the launching for supposedly being a copy of Mega Man.

  • 17855: I buy Concrete Poetry, but Figurative Verse doesn't seem nearly as intuitive.
  • 17856/17859/17860/17861: Done.
  • 17857: Item Number seems like it could muddy the waters, between an actual musical number and the number of a physical item. Created the disambig.
  • 17858: Honestly, if it's a single person creating the issue, then the single person needs to be spoken with before we lock a whole page.

Technically not a locked page, but DieForOurShip.Final Fantasy has a mod warning not to edit a specific example under Final Fantasy VII, so I'm taking it here.

  • Example as written: After more than seventeen years, both Tifa and Aerith are still prone to being demonized and/or killed by shippers who favor a different pairing. Even more disturbing is the fact that Aerith is canonically dead by the end of the game anyway, and by Word of God that is irreversible.
  • My proposal: Decades after release, both Tifa and Aerith are still prone to being demonized and/or killed by shippers who favor a different pairing. In Aerith's case she's irreversibly dead by the end of the game anyway, per Word of God.
  • Reason for changes: Removes the reference to a specific number of years in the first sentence, and rewords the second sentence to avoid the implication that killing an already-dead character is disturbing.

Requesting that the following small changes be made to Cerberus Daily News

Under Noodle Incident, could there be added the following:

  • One of the most notable examples is the Hylagean Fog, mentioned sporadically by both salarian and batarian intelligence operatives. We know nothing about it save that it was a deadly force, apparently biological and space-faring, and that the threat of it was dealt with by, it's implied, joint operations between the salarian STG and the batarian state security.

Can the following be added:

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: The long-burning plot centred on "Nos Dwicka" runs on this trope. Eldritch happenings and bizarre phenomena have been happening in the city for years, and more specifically now they centre on Mekan of Omega, who is possibly possessed by some krogan demigod, but it's not clear whether there's a logical explanation or not. "I draw the line at the Magic Krogan!" practically became a catchphrase among characters on the forum in 2018, as they struggled with the uncertainty.

Under Long Runner, could "five years" be updated to "eight years" (alternatively, if this isn't long enough to meet trope requirements, the entry can be axed).

Main.A Midsummer Nights Dream:

''A Midsummer Night's Dream'' may refer to:

* The [[Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream play by William Shakespeare]].
* The [[Fanfic/AMidsummerNightsDreamKillbles fanfiction by Killbles]].

If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.

Rewrite for the first 2 entries for Wallander at Live Action TVM To Z:

  • Alfred Hardeberg and his daughter, Kristina, from The Man who Smiled, are the masterminds behind TLL, a program they use to take organs from poor, desperate people and sell them to the wealthy. The latter also murders children to harvest organs from their deceased bodies. When the former's business dealing with Sten Torensson and his father goes badly, he hires assassins to kill them, blowing up the entire buildings they are in to murder them.
