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.

Looks good. Just one thing (and this is my bad): At Anime And Manga K To Z, for the Metroid stuff, please italicize Metroid Prime 2.

Done to here.

[up][up]It's unlocked now. If something is a glitch-lock, you can get around it by going to the History, then selecting Edit from there.

About Images and Copyright should state that only half or less of an image can be used on the wiki now, instead of just "an excerpt".

I am pretty sure that fair use is not simply a matter of percentages. Blurry and low quality and downscaled but uncropped versions have been historically considered to be acceptable on Wikipedia.The same laws apply to both websites, too.

Hello. Could you unlock Television Is Trying to Kill Us and add a trope?

  • Men Don't Cry: Makes it harder for men to get help or support for their emotional problems.

^^ Yes, but if the wiki policy is now to use half or less it should be mentioned there (I only learned about it on the image picking thread as my suggestion used two out of three panels of a webcomic).

Just a note: We're trying to get the devs to track down the cause of the spurious page locking bug. We need them reported here so we can find examples, but please don't unlock them immediately.

I'm not unlocking it, but seems like Pokémon Sun and Moon Anime is a victim of the just bugs me (unless someone's actually editing it).

Very minor cosmetic change but I thought I should introduce Scirocco with the title he's often referred to, "The Man from Jupiter". Thusly, can we alter his first sentence so it reads:

Cheers!

This recap page seems to have fallen victim to the good old lock bug and the 'New tab' trick doesn't work on that one.

At Complete Monster, please add the part in bold: If you bring these up or try to add them to the respective work page (or remove them, for validated C Ms), without new evidence (something that hasn't been discussed; the character reappears; etc)...

Also, please add this to the "Definitely a CM" section:

  • Berserk:
    • Griffith/Femto: He was selfish even before getting tortured, none of his crimes are treated as justified by said torture, and he has shown no indication that he can be redeemed, even himself admitting he feels no regret for anything. Any other interpretation relies on Alternative Character Interpretation, which isn't relevant to being a Complete Monster.

In light of this query on the spelling of "bicep(s)", can we create redirects with the original spelling? (Biceps Kiss to Bicep Kiss and Biceps Polishing Gesture to Bicep-Polishing Gesture)

I suspect we're not going to rename the tropes over language drift consisting of a single letter, after all.

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.

[up][up]I'm not sure that's going to add anything in terms of clarity or inbounds.

DTH otherwise.
