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.

Hello mods. I launched the trope for World's Smartest Man not too long ago and now requesting a redirect for World's Smartest Woman since it's a gender-neutral trope with the wikiword "World's Smartest Woman".

Thank you kindly in advance.

Small rewrites for Tales Series:

Tales of Symphonia has these two mad scientists:

  • Kvar the Fury Tempest is infamous for being the cruelest of the Desian Grand Cardinals. Heartless and sadistic, Kvar runs a Human Ranch where his prisoners are turned into Exospheres in a process that leaves the party horrified. Discovering that some of his prisoners escaped from the ranch to the village of Luin, Kvar attacks Luin, destroying the village, killing many and capturing the survivors for his experiments. When Lloyd encounters Kvar, the Cardinal brags about how he removed the Exosphere from Lloyd's mother, causing her to turn into a monster and attack both her child and her lover, Kratos, which resulted in Kratos killing her to save their son. The depth of Kvar's depravity is such that even his own men are appalled by him.
  • Iron Will Rodyle is another Desian Grand Cardinal. Taking over Kvar's experiments following his death, Rodyle manages his own Human Ranches and is working to create a superweapon, the Mana Cannon, in order to destroy the Tower of Salvation, overthrow his boss, and become the ruler of two worlds. When the party frees the Ranch's prisoners, Rodyle manages to trap the prisoners again and floods the room they're in, forcing the party to watch. Following his defeat, Rodyle activates the self-destruct sequence of his Human Ranch to make sure the heroes and everyone else in the Ranch dies with him.

Could someone add this to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate? Please and thank you.

  • In a more meta sense, a lot of the characters seen as spirits haven't been seen in years or even decades, because their series is dormant, because of rights issues preventing them from making, or for any other reason. Imagine being an avid supporter of Chibi-Robo, Geno, or Lip, then seeing that your beloved character, the one you've always wanted to see as a playable fighter, is finally going to appear in Smash Bros....and it's so they can be Back for the Dead. Talk about a Player Punch.

Characters who haven't been seen in years or even decades reappearing just to become "spirits"? Yeah, I'd say they're Back for the Dead. You can change it to Killed Offscreen if you still don't think it qualifies.

Hey, I just noticed a mistake on the spoiler taggings with this Web Animation entry for Red vs. Blue on MagnificentBastard.Other. It should be:

  • Doctor Leonard Church served as the Director of Project Freelancer, who mourned the loss of his beloved wife. Founding his military program to test out the use of equipment with AI implantation in soldiers, the Director reverse engineered Split Personality in the one AI he had, the Alpha, to create fragments. The Director emotionally manipulated his soldiers to test out which AI matched which soldier and examined certain effects. The Director used turned one of his AI into Agent Texas, who would carry out dirty work for him. The Director also used his agents to steal equipment to perform more experiments. After the implosion of Freelancer and the apparent death of his daughter, Agent Carolina, the Director regrouped Freelancer, successfully hiding away the Alpha to keep him safe. When Washington rebelled and activated the EMP, the Director tried to use the Meta to stop him. Investigated by Chairman Hargrove, the Director argued that his actions were for the good of humanity, but submitted to possible arrest. In the end after a meeting with his alive daughter, the Director killed himself realizing that he could never bring back his beloved Allison.

Thanks!

I'd like for this to be added under the YMMV page's Memetic Mutation entry on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate because I've seen more than a few pieces on it, but I'd understand if it hasn't gained enough traction yet.

  • The World of Light trailer showed a battle against Zero Suit Samus with Shantae as her Spirit. This led to fan art and jokes about how Samus would take on some of Shantae's mannerisms, such as belly dancing or dressing like a Bedlah Babe, as a result.

The fantasy RPG videos that play in my head are amazing.

On NightmareFuel.Super Smash Bros Ultimate, can you please cut this:

  • Try to think about all of the raw emotion during that very moment. The apprehension and anticipation of the bang. And the determination, bravery, and resolve suddenly turning into fear, panic, desperation and even resignation in the sheer face of chaos and annihilation. It's theorized that places like Gettysburg are haunted due to a deep footprint of collective emotional energy that was created by the intense feelings of everyone, from the young man that's afraid to die to the wounded elder breathing his last, that was involved in the battle. So the collective emotions of an entire planet being wiped out must be IMMEASURABLE.

This is Fridge Horror/speculation.

Add this under Colbert Bump in Mumkey Jones

  • After watching "Das the Saucemaster" trying to criticize him in a manner he found poorly made and boring, Mumkey found another Youtuber who criticized him known as Jeremiah 76 and entertained him far more (Albeit, somewhat ironically). As a punishment towards Das and a thanks to Jeremiah, Mumkey had his fanbase subscribe to Jeremiah's channel, getting him from 8 subscribers to a whopping 10,000 within two days.

This is for Final Fantasy VII Anyone else can suggest changes and additions to this. Just finally getting to write this after the September Nintendo Direct announcement.

Update this paragraph: Squaresoft (now Square Enix) published Final Fantasy VII on Sony's Play Station console after a falling-out with Nintendo over the latter's extreme censorship policies (as well as a reported refusal to move away from the industry-standard ROM cartridge, which severely limited the scope of a game). Sony was more than willing to permit more "mature" content on its systems; coupled with the then-impressive storage capacity of the CD-ROM format, this proved to be much more accommodating to Square's design philosophy than Nintendo's restrictions. Squaresoft's change in platform allegiance is said to been a major contribution to the PlayStation's massive success in the Console Wars, with many developers following Square into Sony's camp, some of them even rumored to have been advised by Square to drop Nintendo.

After this part: Few people completely grasp the plot during the first playthrough; even for a RPG, this game can get extremely complicated. This is not helped by the poor translation, whose errors range from horrific spelling/grammar errors ("This guy are sick") to outright misinformation ("Attack while the tail is up"). The PC version corrected almost all of these errors, but also sanitized the game by censoring the most major expletives and having Barret generally speak normal English rather than Ebonics.

Add this paragraph: For nearly two decades, aside from the PC, this game, like all of Square's output in the fifth and sixth console generations, was only playable on the PlayStation line of consoles, whether it be through backwards compatibility, Emulation, or a portnote . This since has changed with Square Enix bring the game to mobile phones; in 2015 for iOS and 2016 for Android. But the most significant ports releases occurred in 2019, with this game, along with other PlayStation exclusive Final Fantasy installments, coming to Microsoft's Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch, the latter release being a huge turning-point for the Nintendo fanbase.

Update this sentence:

Perhaps most surprisingly, Cloud was eventually announced as a Downloadable Content character for Nintendo's Mascot Fighter Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, given he didn't have a major presence on Nintendo's platforms. Just as surprisingly, Cloud is returning in the next installment Ultimate.

~GoldenDarkness, I'm not convinced any of those edits are needed, and some of the wording is going to be dated.

~nombretomado Why wouldn't there be at least updates to Final Fantasy VII in regards to what consoles it will be released on? I've seen other games have their descriptions updated when they get new releases on other platforms.

And what about the part of Square going from Nintendo to Sony, and how it played into the console wars?

Just curious.
