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:
- Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
- Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
- 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.
- We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
- If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here
.
- If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
- To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Please replace the link in Radovan Karadzic's name on the "We Burn" writeup at Monster.Music with this, as the current link is spelled wrong.
Unofficial Wiki Curator for Complete Monster
Please cut Eduardo Flamingo from the Gotham tree at Live Action TVA To L.
At World Of Darkness, for the first entry, please make the pothole around twisting their own flesh and bone into torturous forms (as of now, it's not around that last S).
At the same page, AND at Video Games: Q to Z, for Andrei, please make it: furniture is made from bones and organs
At The Punisher, please add this to the header (at the end?):
- The 2005 video game can be found here.
As per the crowner resolution on the Appearance Trope thread, please replace the content of Green Eyes with the following:
Green Eyes are an unusual eye color in real life, but they don't have inherent meaning on their own, and you shouldn't list them as such. You might want one of these tropes instead:
- Color-Coded Eyes: Green eye color used symbolically for characterization.
- Elemental Eye Colors: Green eyes may symbolise Earth/nature powers, or wind powers.
- Green-Eyed Monster: A metaphor for jealousy that usually doesn't actually involve green eyes.
- Mark of the Supernatural: Green eyes may be used to symbolize mystic abilities or origins.
- Significant Green-Eyed Redhead: A plot-significant character whose importance is symbolised by this rare hair/eye combo.
Please delete all links to this page unless they can be changed to link to another page, such as the ones listed above.
"It's just a show; I should really just relax"
Done to here, is it really necessary for Übermensch and Permanent Red Link Club (which I didn't edit) to be still locked?

Kept attracting racists and eugenicists. Not worth it, imo.
That's about Übermensch? There are no "racists or eugenicists" that I can see in the PRLC history.

Short-Term Projects herald
For Administrivia.Locked Pages:
- Remove Series.Whale Wars from the "Works" list since it's no longer locked.
- For Green Eyes, change the text to: "Was originally locked for edit wars over whether certain characters' eyes were green or hazel. It has since been made a disambiguation page as it was Not a Trope."
I wonder if we should pseudo-red link Green Eyes like we did with Heroic Sociopath, Hot Mom, and Hot Dad (despite the redness not working for some reason, whereas If You Know What I Mean and This Troper work fine).

Speaking of pseudo-redlinks, Chekovs Gun (the redirect to the JFF page) continues to get wicks; the fact the link is blue obfuscates the fact it's supposed to be Chekhov's Gun.
We might have to look into it yet again.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
In Naughty Tentacles the phrase "How does it hurt our situation, though?" mentioned by Marceline of Adventure Time is in All Blue Entry, it is necessary to erase the wicks, with the bonus that it would eliminate a wick that exists from Fetish Fuel.
For the Film A To C page, we should add a link to Angst 1983 (a film whose Villain Protagonist is among those listed on the page).

On Sonichu, under the Accidental Innuendo entry:
In the sixth issue, the characters hear an explosion. In response, Chris-Chan replies: "Somethings's happening downstairs! Sonichu, Magi-Chan, come with me!" The way the comic is drawn, it looks as though Chris-Chan's gnads are exploding.
The reference to another web comic is gratuitous and adds nothing to the article. It should be cut.
Migrated to Chloe Jessica!
Done to here.
In Political Correctness Gone Mad, two bullet points in the Web Original folder were combined together. I should look like this.
- Youtube user MisterMetokur has several videos dedicated to criticize and lampoon this trope, including his series "The Hugbox Chronicles" and "Tumblrisms".
- Deconstructed in a blog post by Neil Gaiman, in which he observes that the more accurate term for declining to insult people for their culture or skin color is not "Political Correctness" but simply "Treating Other People With Respect." He proposed that replacing the phrase in your head would be "peculiarly enlightening."
"I know what you’re thinking now. You’re thinking 'Oh my god, that’s treating other people with respect gone mad!'"
- Internet users promptly created browser extensions to do just that, transforming headlines into howlers such as "The real danger of treating people with respect", "Treating people with respect is fueling homegrown extremism," and "NC senator compares treating people with respect to Nazi book burnings."

Please make Resurrection a disambiguation page as follows:
- Back from the Dead, a trope about literal resurrection that is at the center of a whole host of Resurrection Tropes.
- One of several films titled Resurrection.
- The American drama series Resurrection.
- The Danny Phantom fanfic Resurrection.
Please change any link that led you here to point to the correct page.

Hi In Monster.Literature M To Z for the entry for Mercy Thompson. In the entry for The Doll Collector, please change a year and a day and wikiword it to A Year and a Day
"That's right mortal. By channeling my divine rage into power, I have forged a new instrument in which to destroy you."
Hiya, with this please:
- Put one to seven on MagnificentBastard.Film, two-seven replacing the current James Bond tree;
- Eight to twelve on MagnificentBastard.Live Action TV, with the Star Trek tree getting replaced with nine-eleven;
- 13 for MagnificentBastard.Video Games;
- 14-17 on MagnificentBastard.Western Animation as a new tree to collect the Beast Wars and Transformers Animated entries.
Thanks!

In Horny Devils. Please add this to the literature section.
- The Cassandra Palmer series features incubus which are a type of lower level demon. Incubus are usually vain, self-centered individuals who posses people in order to interact in the human world. They feed off the life energy of mortals which they usually get from sexual intercourse.
Also in the literature section please replace the current Simon R Green Entries with this expansion I did.
- Simon R. Green has used succubi in more than one series.
- In Hawk and Fisher, a succubus is bound in a magic circle, providing a source of power and pleasure for a powerful sorcerer.
- Nightside:
- Hex and the City: The succubus Pretty Poison provides backup for John Taylor on an investigation. Succubi are depicted here are demons who feed off lust and help tempt humans into damnation. Their appearance changes depending on the sexual preferences of whoever is looking at them. In their true form though they are monstrous-looking demons.
- The Unnatural Inquirer: The reporter Bettie Devine is a Half-Human Hybrid whose mother was a succubus who apparently seduced a member of the Rolling Stones and got pregnant with her as a result. Betty appears as beautiful woman with a short skirt and devil horns.

On Übermensch, can "concerned a Lawnmower Man style plot" (in the Comic Books folder) be changed to "concerned a Lawnmower Man-style plot"?
