Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

For the Complete Monster page in video games, I got some examples:

• Star Wars The Old Republic has The Emperor. For starters, he disintegrated T3-M4, murdered his own parents, drained the energy from a planet, forced Revan and the Exile into his mind, telepathically tortures Exal... it says a lot when the ancient Sith Lords preferred Exar Kun over this guy. It says even more when the Dark Council plotted to overthrow him. And that's not even getting into what Kira endured thanks to him. She fled the Sith because of his evil and during the Jedi Knight's battle with Angral, he possesses Kira purely to do away with her friend. Why? Because he saw visions that her friend might be the one who will defeat him and being Dangerously Genre Savvy he's decided to take the hero out now while he or she is still weak.
  • There's a quest on Nar Shaddaa in which Republic players have to stop an Imperial agent from running a genocide program. And the agent enjoys every single moment of it, calling aliens a blight on the galaxy, among other things.
  • Darth Jadus. At first he appears to be just an arrogant and enigmatic Sith Lord. Then you learn more about him. He treats his daughter as a disposable pawn and may order the Agent to kill her. He more-or-less kidnapped a hundred civillians and began killing some at random so their terror would turn them into insane servants of his. His goal is to perform the same experiment on the entire Empire, uniting it in a new epoch of fear.
• Call Of Duty Black Ops has Dragovich, a guy who was a Jerk Ass since World War II, and has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He most definitely crosses the Moral Event Horizon when he throws Dimitri Petrenko (The Hero of Treyarch's previous game World at War) into a gas chamber and releases a chemical agent that melts human tissue just to see if it works. Even worse when it turns out that even though he is killed and his main plan fails, his plot to create a presidential assassin actually succeeds.
  • His dragon, Kravechenko, is no less monstrous - if you linger long enough in a specific area to listen to a radio recording made by him, he mentions that they've tested Nova 6 on children and infants. His profile, which is seen briefly during cutscenes, and can also be read if you collect the intel in the appropriate mission, indicates that he is a bipolar sociopath who can only find joy in human suffering.

Also in The Bible:

Remove the From Saul to Paul part of Heel–Face Turn, as I'm not entirely sure of the point of that.

Put Hot-Blooded beneath Hooker with a Heart of Gold.

Everything's Worse With Bears should be changed to Everything's and swapped places with Everything's Better with Rainbows.

Dub-Induced Plot Hole is poorly worded.

Spell My Name With An S doesn't seem to be about transliteration.

On YMMV.The Bible:

Too Cool to Live should be underneath Tear Jerker.

Sadly Mythtaken should be examples within, right? Not "people misread this book".

Macekre is poorly-worded.

The Moral Event Horizon is worded in a way that there's multiple horizons crossed rather than "some people think this is X or Y".

Dying Moment of Awesome should be moved back to Literature/. Same with Evil Is Sexy, with an invoked tag.

The last part of Fanon Discontinuity, that would go under The Book of Mormon and the Quran's YMMV pages, right?

Removed bizarre Brick Joke reference under Iron Woobie.

Rename Alternate Character Interpretation as Alternative Character Interpretation.

Edited Sandbox.The Bible and created Sandbox.YMMV The Bible.

My My Immortal edits still haven't been taken care of.

Since we're adding sources to images and all that, could the below be added to Complaining About Shows You Dont Like?

[[caption-width-right:200:From ''Superf*ckers'']]

There's no page for the comic and I have no idea how it should be typed, so... unless somebody wants to link it a caption is good enough.

EDIT: It may technically be from Jack Krak but I have no idea since that's the name of the character... ye gads.

In The Chick, the Silverhawks reference should be changed to Western Animation/.

In About Images And Copyright, something needs to be added in about us seeking permission from artists to use entire works like single-panel cartoons and Deviant Art images, and how we account for their permission on the pages if/when it's given.

In the page for the Prince Of Persia film in the entry for Everythings Better With Princesses there is an error and now reads as "Prince_as_a_reigning_monarch reigning princess", when it should be just "reigning princess" as a link to the Other Wiki page explaining the concept.

Madrugada got your request on About Images And Copyright, I think.

I got that one. Still looking for time to work on the backlog, sorry.

Yep, and a bang-up job at that.

I was wondering if this might be valid to add to Complete Monster\Video Games.

• Natasha Vokova of Red Alert 3 has a quote where she might lament about not killing little children, placing her in the same category as the GLA.

If you're not sure, ask on the Complete Monsters thread. If it's agreed to be an example, then bring it back here.

Um, hi. I don't really use the forums, but the page about locked pages said to ask here for edits, so... The "Double Standard" page has a link to a trope that no longer seems to exist in the catalog: "The Shrike Team."

Thanks.

Edit: When was that page unlocked? Oh well.

Hey, I found this in DethroningMoment.Web Original. Could somebody please put it on DethroningMoment.That Guy With The Glasses, under "other?"

• fluffything: Normally, I like What The Fuck Is Wrong With You and I find Nash (and Tara) to be pretty funny. But, good gods of bacon do I have a MAJOR problem with the ending of the Regret At Leisure episode. Three words: Arlo's Pony Paradise. This isn't a good-natured joke at the series itself. No, it's a mean-spirited Take That! towards the fandom. It basically boils down to "Bronies (and Pegasisters) are stupid for taking a cartoon geared towards little girls seriously!". And, yes, that is Nash's actual opinion on the fandom. (Beat) wat? Look, if you don't like a show, fine. But being a total dick towards a fandom just because they like to discuss the mythos and everything in a serious and mature discusion doesn't make them stupid. To quote your own Catchphrase, Nash....WHAT THE FUCKITY FUCK FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

And speaking of that page, may the links to The Nostalgia Critic and The Nostalgia Chick on there be changed to The Nostalgia Critic and The Nostalgia Chick?

Let's Play:
All mentions of:

• TeamFortress2 -> VideoGame/TeamFortress2
• HalfLife2 -> VideoGame/{{Half-Life 2}}
• {{Portal}} -> VideoGame/{{Portal}}
• {{Portal2}} -> VideoGame/{{Portal 2}}

The Inheritance Cycle:

• The Chains of Commanding: Trianna says it's wise Eragon doesn't want to be king, because a king is simply a man imprisoned by his duties.
• Covered in Mud: In Eldest, Eragon has a seizure caused by a cursed injury to his back. He's feeling terrible already because of the seizure and because it was in front of his teacher, but then he becomes especially embarrassed when he realizes that rolling around on the ground caused him to get his clothes (which were new and a gift from the elves) covered in dirt/mud.
• Mundane Utility: Frustrated with trying to use a razor, Eragon uses magic to give himself a shave.
• Nose Tapping: A traveling trapper does this when sharing rumors about there being a Rider in Alagaësia.

Under Purple Prose:

• Happens in-universe when Orik drinks faelnirv – he claims it gives you "the gift of loquacion", but rather than making him talk a lot, it makes him speak this way.

Under Shout-Out:

• 'Barges? We don't want no stinking barges!'

You have potholed that incorrectly. It's the Inheritance Cycle, not trilogy. Trilogy links to another work.

Speaking of which, may as well add a line in the description of The Inheritance Cycle saying "Not to be confused with the Inheritance Trilogy, which, as it turns out, is something completely different."

Oops, thanks, fixed it. I don't know why I keep thinking of it as a trilogy; we've known about book 4 for ages. (Hmm, I should really get to reading that last book.)

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but can we have a sandbox version of The Bible Character Sheet? There is, but it's completely empty. I would copy the content from the main CS, but it is locked, so...

Use the "source" button, Luke. It's in the same collection of buttons as the "edit" button.

Okay. Now created.

...So...what do I do with this?

If you want the the Character Sheet being replaced with the sandbox, you'll have to wait until the backlog on this thread has resolved. I am starting to miss Camacan...
