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.

~/chasemaddigan, the new write-up violates example indentation. If one character is That One Boss in two distinct Pokemon games in the same generation/section, then each game should get their own second-level bullet, i.e.:

  • Mimikyu
    • Sun and Moon:
    • Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon:

Done to here otherwise.

Ah, my mistake. Is this an any better?

  • Totem Mimikyu.
    • Sun and Moon: Its Disguise ability (basically a free Substitute—sans the HP loss—as soon as it's sent out) guarantees that it'll survive to call in an ally Pokémon, and every ally it calls has Hypnosis, so if you don't OHKO it immediately, it will put you to sleep. Its Totem Aura boosts all of its stats, so have fun trying to outspeed and overpower it. Thanks to these boosts, odds are it will survive to call another ally if you KO the first ally first. Thought you were going to be clever by bringing a Dark-type? Mimikyu has Play Rough to make short work of it.
    • Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: Totem Mimikyu received upgrades similar to the other unchanged Totem Pokémon. The rather useless Astonish has been replaced by Leech Life, giving it a powerful new coverage move and healing option. Its allies are now Banette and Jellicent. The former has Screech to turn its targets' Defense into butter, Will-O-Wisp to cripple physical attackers, and Curse, which it gleefully abuses to steadily whittle down your Pokémon's HP. Jellicent, on the other hand, has heavy damage output with Water Pulse and the guaranteed damage of Night Shade.
  • Totem Lurantis.
    • Sun and Moon: Its moveset includes hard hitting attacks like Solar Blade, which it can charge up in one turn because it holds a Power Herb, and X-Scissor. It also knows Synthesis, so it gains half of its HP back whenever it wants to. It will even call forth a Trumbeak that loves spamming Supersonic and Pluck. Thought that bringing a Bug type would be helpful against it? You're dead wrong. But the worst part if it calls a Castform. The Castform it calls know Headbutt, which is surprisingly powerful at that point in the game and can let it flinch you, Weather Ball, and Sunny Day. This means two things; First, it can take out most Bug types one might bring to beat it in one shot (Plus, if you chose Rowlet it can likely one shot that too). Secondly, it lets the Totem Lurantis heal 75% of its HP and use Solar Blade without wasting a turn or Power Herb. And just to add insult to injury, Totem Lurantis can also use Synthesis more times than is possible for the player tonote .
    • Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: Totem Lurantis replaces Razor Leaf with Low Sweep (a move that always lowers the Speed of those hit) to ensure your Pokémon won't outrun it. Its allies this time are Comfey and Kecleon, who both know Sunny Day (giving Lurantis a stronger heal from Synthesis, makes Solar Blade a one-turn move instead of two, and activates its Leaf Guard ability which makes it immune to Status effects) and are just dying to use it on you. Kecleon's Ancient Power will give most Pokémon with a type advantage over Lurantis a run for their money, and confuse others with Dizzy Punch. Comfey on the other hand, will support Lurantis by raising its Defense with Flower Shield, and restoring its HP through Floral Healing, effectively giving Lurantis two healing methods. But the big kicker is Comfey's ability: Flower Veil, which not only protects Lurantis from Status moves, but also prevents it from having any of its stats lowered!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but please change the redirects for Underworld to Underworld (2003). I switched it to account for Underworld (1927), and need those fixed to handle the original page.

Can somebody lock the page for Dreams? There are some people who managed to get into the private Beta, and a Non-Disclosure Agreement is in effect. I don't want any details from the game to be accidentally (or intentionally) leaked in this manner, at least until the beta (and information embargo) end. Also, if the page gets locked, I'd also like for there to be a written message on the page trope that it's locked until information becomes publicly available.

Please add this to the literature section of Horny Devils

  • The InCryptid series features incubi and succubi who are the male and female members of the Lilu species respectively. The Lilu have the ability to release pheromones through their sweat and other bodily fluids which allow them to control the sexual responses of thoose around them and hence cause people around them to become aroused and sexually attracted to them.

~MetroidPeter, let's see if that becomes an issue. Currently, that page only has three examples, none of which appear to be from a leak.

Requesting to lock Characters.RWBY and all subpages for two weeks, to prevent the usual end-of-volume shenanigans.

(Seriously, just search for RWBY on Ask The Tropers. This stuff happens every year.)

~Ominae, looking into that.

~bwburke94, I confess, not really familiar with the work, but doing the search suggested shows the typical amount of page issues any popular piece of media has.

I don't think it's worth locking the RWBY pages. People should know better than to visit the pages during the week-long delay between the FIRST release and the public release of episodes.
