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. The Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard tropes aren't currently adding or removing examples. Wick changes and other minor corrections to the locked trope pages can be made via this thread, but more significant changes will be declined.
  9. 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.

Sorry to insist, but the move of the discussion page VideoGame.Call Of Duty Black Ops 3 to VideoGame.Call Of Duty Black Ops III seems to have been missed.

The New '10s still appears to be locked.

Does anyone known if it was locked intentionally? I'm still not seeing it on the "Locked Pages" list.

[up] Fixed it for you. Here's what you do if you find a page that's locked for no reason:

  • Right click on "edit page".
  • Open in a new tab.
  • Hit cancel/back above the edit window.
  • The page should now be unlocked.

Also, since it will be keeping its own page, please cut the Sword Art Online image from Complete Monster (first folder).

Since it takes me to the trope launch pad, is there anyway to have Dead Man's Switch redirect to Dead Man Switch?

[up] Apparently, someone tried to move that page via custom title, which is a big no-no.

The page should be at Dead Man's Switch anyway.

[up][up][up] / [up][up]: The page has been moved to Dead Man's Switch. There is a lot of wicks to correct for Main/DeadManSwitch.

[up]Done.

The Good Shepherd:

''The Good Shepherd'' may refer to:

* The [[Film/TheGoodShepherd film]].
* The GoodShepherd trope, for a good priest.

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

Age-Inappropriate Art has a bunch of generic "examples" in the Real Life folder I think should be cut. They might state a song that's inappropriate, but there's no specific example of it being performed, just a general assurance that it happens. The last one might also be a shoehorn, as the trope talks about inappropriate things with regards to morals, not physical development.

"Examples":

  • Truth in Television. Besides occurring throughout history, many kids from The '90s and The Noughties (2000s) sang some of the dirtier popular songs with their friends.
  • Many, many elementary schools have the choir sing "Seasons of Love" from RENT at the end of the year. We pray that they never look up "La Vie Boheme". Or "Contact". Or "Out Tonight"...
  • In a child-care situation, it's not uncommon to hear 5-year-olds singing pop songs, such as "Whistle" by Flo Rida.
  • In a more physical sense, due to developmental and bodily growth issues, it's strongly advised not to allow someone to begin drumming on a real kit or in some styles until at least 13-16. Someone who starts drumming "for real" earlier than this, especially at really fast speed or doing blast beats, is far more likely to injure a still-developing body and injure themselves more in later life as well. Despite this, and despite the drummers that have likely suffered the results of it, one can find too many child and preteen drummers doing exactly what they should not be doing in a quick browse of Youtube or similar.

Thanks.

Question about Age-Inappropriate Art. When I checked, it was locked. There was no indicator it was locked by an editor, and I checked several times to make sure, but now it isn't locked. Is it supposed to be locked or not?

Well, here are the CM redirects for Switch:

Also, the custon Wikiword feature is acting up, but that should be Dead Man's Switch

~AnotherDuck, it was probably a victim of the coattailed spurious locking issue.

~ACW, fixed those wicks. I believe the custom title request didn't display because Dead Man's Switch was created without going through TLP (another effect when that happens is red font). Both matters can be fixed by saving an edit to the page.

There's also Yakuza Weapon at Film S To Z and the Captain America and Keamy (Lost) ones at Live Action TVA To L. I've taken care of some of the other wicks.

At The Punisher:

  • For Guillermo Del Sol, please lowercase "cartel" for "Dos Soles drug cartel"
  • Please move the Punisher 2099 entry before the MAX stuff.

At Video Games L To Z, please start the Strider tree with this:

  • Strider: Among the enemies the Striders fight, the following antagonists are definite proof that both humans and aliens can be monsters:
