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.

I want to add the Level Grinding trope to Final Fantasy VII. The catch in FF 7's case is that I've found that you don't need to grind for your characters' levels, but their Limit Breaks. Characters unlock their higher level limit breaks by killing a specific number of enemies, and then many of them have to use those specific limit breaks to get other breaks. In normal gameplay, Cloud is likely going to be the only character whose breaks are unlocked at a reasonable pace, since the other characters won't get enough kills and won't use their limit breaks often enough.

The end result, if you want to get everybody's limit breaks, is that you'll have to spend a few hours getting their kill counts up so they gain their limits breaks, and then you often have to force them to take damage and use those new breaks so they can unlock the other ones.

[up][up] If you look at the page history, Fast Eddie himself okayed that warning.

[up][up]Odd, when I looked earlier the history was empty.

I still think it is a bad idea to have the warning though. If you make an exception just once, then you'll have people wanting it again.

I must talk to you about very serious matter. Complete Monster pages start getting seriously messed up. (I think this is partly due to the fact that Disney is locked).

To understand my point, read very carefully, without a hurry.

The problem is because on a film page, I read that all the examples from live-action Disney films, go on a Disney page. Yet, I saw Andrei Strasser from Mighty Joe Young on a Monster/Film. I don't know if you watched the movie, but I it doesn't matter, I inform you that the movie is a Disney movie. Whether he qualifies as a CM, is a totally different issue. I am NOT saying he is (I think he is though), but that he is on the list. So, if he qualifies, can you please move him somehow to Disney page, with other Disney villains?? Or can you maybe, move live-action Disney villains to Film page?? I think that maybe the latter is a good idea, because the actions of animated Disney villains, seem mild compared to live-action. Live-action Disney villains, are closer to villains of the film page in their actions. In main opinion, mentioning cartoon villains on the same page DIMINISHED the value of mentioning the live-action.

Now, whether Strasser qualifies, read the description, and decide

  • Andrei Strasser from 1998 Mighty Joe Young is an Evil Poacher definetly turned Up to Eleven and possibly even worse than Percival Mc Leach since he's played on more realistic levels. Killing little Joe's mother was just the beginning, he also did the same thing to Dr Ruth Young when she tries to save the little gorilla (it's uncertain if he did it on purpouse, anyway he feels no remorse about it). He also owns a fake animal preserve while he actually secretly butchers endangered species and selling the animal organs off on the black market. This guy is so ruthless that even his partner in crime decides to quit when he arrives at trying to shoot Jill Young.

By the way, I started this discussion on https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=6vic3f9h1cy5qivsenw8llok&page=27, but I feel that you as a moderator, should participate. So, if he counts, can he be moved to Disney page, or all the live-action villains moved to Film page??

Troll needs a No Real Life Examples Please note.

[down] Yes, and he told me that he wouldn't have done so if there had been such a tag. (I PM'd him earlier today (before his ban) about his behaviour, and from his responses he doesn't seem like the type of person we want editing. I can post them if required.)

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

For reference, there was a now-suspended complainer running around today who was calling several singers Trolls.

I didn't do anything with it because, honestly, I didn't really understand what you were asking.

You'll have to sort it out on that thread there. This one's only to request changes that have already been agreed upon.

[up][up][up][up] Well, I meant that on Complete Monster Film page, there is Andrei Strasser from Mighty Joe Young. This is a DISNEY film. He should be moved to a Disney page.

[up] Done partially, but he is still not in an exact place, where he is supposed to be. Andrei is supposed to be below Disney live-action films. Mighty Joe Young is a live-action film.

Can the line at the bottom of Panty Shot be removed? It makes the page look bizzarre as it is.

As part of this thread it has been decided that YMMV is going to be moved to YMMV.Home Page so that it can be redlinked. Is it possible to point {{YMMV}} in Welcome To TV Tropes to [[YMMV.HomePage YMMV]], please?
