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.

Can this also please go up?:

  • The Protomen: Dr. Albert Wily, as portrayed in Act II: The Father of Death, is the former comrade of Thomas Light. Wily manipulates Light into activating his machines. He kills Light's girlfriend Emily Stanton and uses his charisma and knowledge of the city to convince the city to convict Light for her murder. After Light is out of the picture, Wily slowly makes the city reliant on his machines for even their most basic functions. Light and his new protege Joe attempt to defeat Wily by destroying his radio transmitter, and Wily simply reveals that he has another, before declaring martial law to stop the "terrorists", effortlessly conquering the city without lifting a single finger.

I'm thinking a Music header section on MagnificentBastard.Other for it.

Thanks!

Actually caught a few grammar slips on Brooke, please ignore the first one I gave you and use this instead:

  • inFAMOUS: Second Son: Brooke Augustine is the director of the Department Of Unified Protection, or DUP, who founded the organization to hunt down and imprison the super-powered Conduits on the pretense of protecting normal humans, though her true motives are to keep conduits safe from the violence and discrimination caused by humans. With the DUP, she manages to hunt down and imprison nearly every conduit in America having them endure experimentation and training to make them stronger while she manipulates them for her own ends. When the government decides to shut down the DUP and have Augustine hand over her captive conduits, she gives Henry "Hank" Daughtry the means to escape prison transportation allowing him and the other conduits escape, create mass panic in Seattle, and causing the government to continue funding the DUP while giving Augustine complete control of Seattle. When Delsin Rowe interferes with Augustine's plans she has Hank lure him and his brother Reggie to a trap where she kills Reggie and nearly kills Delsin. Depending on Delsin's Karma Meter Augustine can persuade Delsin to use his heroic status to promote the DUP or declare that his infamy has cause everyone to support the DUP, before fighting him.

Requesting a purely grammatical edit to the Donald Trump page. The sentence "The program was wildly successful for the first few seasons, however, the popularity has been declining since" is a run-on and should read "The program was wildly successful for the first few seasons; however, the popularity has been declining since," with a semi-colon.

@Captain Pat Sorry, but to say that TLJ isn't the most divisive Star Wars film ever made is just not true. I agree though that the example should be removed as it is too early to tell.

Please cut and lock all subpages of the disambiguation page Main.Captain Marvel. This includes YMMV.Captain Marvel, which could not be cutlisted because of a bug. (Edit: YMMV.CaptainMarvel has already been cut.)

Subpages are for work pages. Main.Captain Marvel is not a work page, but people continue to create redundant redirects to the Captain Marvel (2019) subpages.

If for whatever reason the pages need to be kept around (inbounds?), this request can safely be ignored, and the pages should instead be converted into disambiguation pages themselves.

Delete the "AND THAT IS ALL WE WILL SAY ABOUT THE CASE" line from the Fallen Creator entry on Roman Polanski. It's not like your average wiki editor can say anything about the case, considering, and if anyone does try to add anything inflammatory about him via this thread, it'll be very easy to talk them out of it. When and if the page is ever unlocked, it can be readded. For now, it's just needless, meaningless word bloat.

On Monster.Marvel Animation, in Apocalypse's entry, there are two periods after the Horsemen of the Apocalypse pothole. Remove one of them.

Here's a proposed edit for Fallen Creator. It's a couple of issues with a particular entry:

Mythic Entertainment was once a force in the field of MMORPGs thanks to Dark Age of Camelot; it was even given back its name by Electronic Arts (who had renamed it EA Mythic upon purchase in 2006) prior to the release of their supposed next big thing and videoGame/World Of Warcraft-killer, videoGame/Warhammer Online. Unfortunately, the good launch of the game couldn't cover its rushed release and, worse, new contents often added new problems while old ones were never fixed properly; many argue if there ever was a precise direction in the project from the start. The number of players quickly dropped, Mythic's CEO resigned, and the company has been reduced to a division of BioWare, with much of WO's staff diverted to The Old Republic. WO is still there, but only a few servers are still active, two or three Game Directors have been alternated in a few months, European servers and support have been completely shut down, and Realm VS Realm, which should be one if its strong points, has been reduced to just 24 players for every side due to bad engine performance.

So, a couple of things...

  • Change both instances of "videoGame" to "VideoGame". Pretty self-explanatory.
  • Change "and, worse," to "and worse still," as the former makes the sentence suffer from excessive comma problems.
  • Isn't Warhammer Online dead at this point? The paragraph should be updated to point this out.

~MinisterOfSinister, regarding the last point, please provide the specific rewrite instead of just making a general request for it to be updated.

~GastonRabbit, illegal characters in pages (such as starting with a numeral, as that one does) take admin-level interference. It can't be done just by regular mods.

Slight rewrites for both franchise-wide Palpatine and film Palpatine at Star Wars:

  • Sheev Palpatine is a Dark Lord of the Sith who is the primary villain of the franchise—and by far one of its most evil. Born as a nasty sociopath who loved to inflict pain and sought to extend his influence wherever he could, in his various guises as Darth Sidious and ruler of the Galactic Republic and later The Empire, he has been responsible for orchestrating galactic-level wars; manipulating others and then disposing of them when they have served his needs; personally murdering and torturing a vast number of people; tyrannically oppressing trillions of sentient beings; wiping out billions of lives to secure and then maintain power; and concocting a scheme to destroy the entire Empire and its countless soldiers should he perish. His crimes across the entire franchise are detailed in works like the original and prequel movie trilogies of movies; the cartoon The Clone Wars; the Aftermath trilogy; the comic book Dark Empire; the prequel novel Darth Plagueis; and the video game The Force Unleashed.
  • Original and prequel movie trilogies: Sheev Palpatine, as Senator of Naboo, engineers the Trade Federation's invasion and blockade of his own home planet, using the sympathy generated to become Supreme Chancellor. He later starts the Clone Wars and uses the war to gain considerable emergency powers, and later on successfully turns Anakin Skywalker to the Dark Side by exploiting Anakin's fear about the possible death of his wife Padmé, and afterwards nearly annihilates the Jedi Order by means of Order 66. He brands the Jedi as traitors to the Republic and has them killed by his soldiers, including the Jedi children; all but two of the Jedi die. He kills and disposes his loyal Separatist allies, such as his apprentice Dooku, when he has no more use for them and turns the Republic into a fascist dictatorship, ruling by fear and using planet-destroying superweapons like the Death Star against anything with the idea of dissenting. Once he becomes Emperor, he is known to have personally destroyed entire populations and single-handedly razed entire cities that were suspected to conspire against him. Finally, he flawlessly engineers the total destruction of the Rebellion, and treats Darth Vader as expendable because he wants to make Luke his next apprentice by goading Luke into murdering his father. When Luke refuses, Palpatine then gleefully blasts him with Force lightning, trying to kill him.

Also, for Aftermath trilogy, please pothole "Emperor Sheev Palpatine" to Star Wars – Emperor Palpatine.

Thanks.

~nombretomado Okay, then. Replace "WO is still there, but only a few servers are still active, two or three Game Directors have been alternated in a few months, European servers and support have been completely shut down, and Realm VS Realm, which should be one if its strong points, has been reduced to just 24 players for every side due to bad engine performance." with "In the end, WO came to an unceremonious end on December 18th, 2013 when Mythic's licence agreement with Games Workshop expired and was not renewed. Mythic has only developed two games since then: Ultima Forever: Quest for the Avatar, an online free-to-play RPG that shut down barely a year after it launched, and Dungeon Keeper, an app store game that is most remembered for controversies involving an excessive reliance on in-app purchases and EA filtering user reviews."

a redirect request, mostly because I don't know how to do it myself.

The Dark Magical Girl Genre page was an earlier false launch (now a blank page) of what became Magical Girl Genre Deconstruction.

It should be an alias for the now-launched page, instead, if possible, because 'Dark Magical Girl' is the anime fandom name for the Magical Girl Genre Deconstruction sub-genre (so named as a slightly better description and the fact Dark Magical Girl is a different trope here).

So can someone with skill create a proper redirect?
