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.

Not convinced that would improve searchability
But both terms are used in the actual product, see Atmosfear - VHS Board Game versus Clue VCR Mystery Game. We already use the terms interchangeably due to UsefulNotes.VHS being a redirect to UsefulNotes.VCR.

Sure, but if you search for the "{suggested alternate} + tvtropes" in Google it comes right away to the existing page. That's the kind of thing we're talking about with searchability.

Slight rewrite for Criminal Minds:

  • Deputy Ronald Boyd, from "A Rite of Passage", kills undocumented immigrants because it allows him to assert a sense of power that he otherwise lacks. He lies in wait at border crossings, picks out a straggler, and then chases them through the desert on his ATV until they can no longer fight back, finishing them off with his machete. When the Hispanic sheriff, whom Boyd loathes for being new to town, starts looking into the missing persons, Boyd sends her progressively more aggressive "messages"—severed heads in boxes outside the sheriff's office; a severed head on a pole in her front yard—until he finally kills her for sticking her nose into his business, while ranting that his victims aren't really missing because "they ain't supposed to be here in the first place". Dismembering her corpse in order to pin the blame on drug kingpin Omar Morales, Boyd proceeds to murder Morales and most of his gang to cover his tracks; also because they're Hispanic. When his partner objects, Boyd shoots him and places the gun in the hands of the dead Morales. Taking offense to the idea that he sees himself as weak, and viewing himself as a total badass, Boyd, profiled as a "human predator" and with over 40 victims to his name, makes an average Dirty Cop look like an angel.

Please also cut Lucius from Video Games L To Z.

Hey with this please:


"I'm a respectable businessman — I don't make deals with criminal madmen... but the way I see it, after tonight — you owe me! Oh, and Joker — I always collect my debts."
Lex Luthor, World's Finest (Vol 2) #2 "Worlds Collide"

"What a pity I am not an honest man!"

"I have the Eye of Odin back in my private collection, and the city owes me a favor for donating it. I successfully tested this prototype battle exo-frame. And the most important thing? I was a little worried that I might be getting soft. But I was able to stand up against Goliath, the greatest warrior alive. I'd say I've still got the edge."
David Xanatos, Gargoyles

  • Please change the description line on MagnificentBastard.Video Games from "The most badass, all-knowing masterminds in gaming go here." to "As video game storytelling evolved, so did its caliber of villains. Voice acting, musical scores, and better writing on top of gameplay have allowed some of the most engaging, magnificent masterminds to imprint themselves upon gamers, as you will see soon." Also, please move it so it's right under the quote and above all the subpages and entries, like with Complete Monster.

Thanks!

Just got another request: can this go on MagnificentBastard.Anime And Manga:

  • Myriad Colors Phantom World: Appearing exclusively in the last episodes of the anime, Enigma is an artificial phantom created using human and phantom DNA. Escaping from her abusive creators, Enigma starts to hunt the students of the Hosea high school in order to steal their special abilities by draining their energy. Seemingly defeated by the protagonists, Enigma takes the body and identity of Haruhiko Ichijou's mother and goes to live with him, successfully faking a motherly personality that bonds with him. After Haruhiko's friends manage to realize her identity, Enigma is able to beat them and steal Haruhiko's summoning powers, intending to use them to control all phantoms to take revenge on humanity. When she is later defeated by Team E, Enigma is impressed by the human potential and admits that she enjoyed her time with Haruhiko, to which he agrees before she dies.

Requesting an edit to the "Christians" section. Currently it says:

"Sadly Mythtaken: In addition to the numerous ones today who misquote the Bible, the term Christian appears nowhere in the Bible."

This is incorrect. Acts 11 says "25 So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul; 26 and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church, and taught a large company of people; **and in Antioch the disciples were for the first time called Christians**."

For the Mumkey Jones page, can you reverse the main description back to the earlier version? It seems to unironically imply Mumkey is an anime reviewer and he approved of the original description’s more comedic nature anyways:

Mumkey Jones is a reviewer of such classic anime like B Gata H Kei, Naruto, and The Bible. Truly the top of his class, he's popular for his ability to go past the boundaries of what's considered acceptable KIND OF LIKE MY UNCLE ALEX WHO WAS ARRESTED RECENTLY FOR-

In reality, the channel is presented as a satirical comedy about the life of the depressed maniac Mumkey Jones as he brings up random topics of his life such as autism, Elliot Rodger, molestation, and dealing with getting rejected by women like Jane Goodall. Nothing is for certain, other than that all standards are off the table.

For anyone who doesn't follow this thread, moderators cannot currently edit locked pages. Hopefully this will be resolved quickly. [lol]

The Mumkey pages were a disaster. Reverting the cleanup would be bad for the wiki.
