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.

NOTE: Edited with OP's permission.

~Zuxtron, there are no locks there; you can copy the content and create the appropriate pages without mod intervention.

I think we're done to here, besides the Sonic the Hedgehog entry - seems too early to make a call on that.

I do think that the YMMV page for Batwoman 2019 should be locked just in case. Judging by the huge backlash from the trailer, I think some of the edits might lead to Flame Bait.

I think that the characters on Woobie.Dangan Ronpa should be categorized by what type of woobie they are within each of the folders. For example:

    Introduced in Dangan Ronpa 1 
The Woobie
  • Kiyotaka Ishimaru [...]

I'd like to add these examples to the Anime And Manga section of the Snuff Film page:

  • Hansel and Gretel from the Vampire Twins arc in Black Lagoon were involved in snuff films after being sold to the mob following the closure of the orphanages of Romania when Ceausescu fell. They were forced to murder other kids on camera in order to survive in addition to all the other horrible things that happened to them. Given all of this, it's little wonder that the twins went murderously insane.
  • Triela's backstory from Gunslinger Girl is one of the most horrific among the cyborgs of the series due to involving this. It involves her being kidnapped by human traffickers and used in one of these films, and was saved when she was inches from death, only for the police to refuse to send her to a hospital that could treat the resulting PTSD because of her value as evidence. She was only saved by Hilshire/Hartman smuggling her to Italy for treatment and was used by the SWA as an assassin without either of them knowing it in advance.

Slight rewrite for DC Animation:

  • Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles: Harley Quinn, as she appears in the "Twisted" short, stands in stark contrast to her mainstream portrayal. A psychopathic Serial Killer, Harley Quinn abducts civilians before mutilating and killing them, making "toys" out of their mangled corpses. When Batman rescues a teenage girl Harley kidnapped, she tries to kill them both. During their fight, Batman comes across a makeshift "family" of the people Harley has murdered, including a young boy.

~SithPanda16, I feel like we need more of a demonstrated issue for that to be locked.

~ACW, clarify for me which exact examples should be in the folder, and which shouldn't. My eyes are crossing.

~IúkaSylvie, sounds like you should sandbox that.

Done except for the big CM list; I'll get to that later tonight.

Okay, for Visual Novels, nothing should be in a folder. It's just the Ace Attorney group and the others, but no folder.

At Complete Monster, for Comic Books, for The Iron Saint, the current link is screwy, so please use this instead.

Please remove Batman: The Dark Knight Returns from DC Animation (it's basically the same as the comic book one, who we recently approved).

Submissions for My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, if moderators believe these additions meet the criteria for Getting Crap Past the Radar

  • Throughout the series, cider as used as a "nudge and wink" substitute for alcohol: its appearance looks like beer (frothing brown liquid in tankards), Big Mac cries and chugs mugs of cider after he thinks Sugar Belle is breaking up with him, and the Apple Cider card in the card game claims that ponies refer to cider as "liquid courage". Writer M.A. Larson once pitched an prohibition-style episode where cider was outlawed in Manehattan and Applejack became a bootlegger sneaking it into the city, but Hasbro shot it down.
  • "Dungeons And Discords" focuses on Discord joining Spike and Big Mac for a "guy's night". In preparation for it, he comes with a list of "the rowdiest establishments in Ponyville". After disappointment that the three are just going to play Ogres & Oubliettes, he teleports them into a bar from The Mask, complete with a server tending bar.
  • The title of Season 8's "Grannies Gone Wild" is an obvious reference to the famous pornographic DVD series.
  • In "Every Little Thing She Does", after Starlight Glimmer mind-controls the Mane Six sans Twilight for several hours, the next day their symptoms are a blatant allusion to getting a hangover from drinking — they're tired, lethargic, and unkempt, sensitive to bright light and loud noise, and have little memory of what they'd done the previous day.
  • In "Father Knows Beast", Twilight accidentally walks in on Sludge lounging on Spike's bed in a bathrobe: when he rolls over to face her, Twilight's eyes dart down for a moment before she backs away and covers her eyes.

Everything looks good now smile

Some more de-potholings for DC Animation:

DC Universe Animated Original Movies, DC Animated Movie Universe (Thawne, Darkseid, and Nergal are fine as is):

  • Son of Batman & Teen Titans: The Judas Contract: Slade Wilson, aka Deathstroke the Terminator, is a contract killer who'd shown promise to be Ra's al Ghul's successor as leader of the League of Assassins. Ra's ended up choosing Bruce Wayne as his heir instead, making Slade turn on Ra's due to this rejection and slaughter many of the group's assassins in his hostile takeover. He manipulated and abused Bruce's son Damian Wayne in order to keep him in line; conducted Lazarus Pit experiments to create flying Man-Bat assassins which he'd planned on selling off as slave mercenaries; tortured Damian's mother Talia al Ghul and made Damian watch; and attempted to kill the Bat-Family, Damian included. He is later saved from death and serves Brother Blood as part of a contract to take out the Teen Titans and deliver them to Blood in order to have the young teens drained of their life force, granting Blood their powers. To carry this out, Slade sends Terra Markov, a teenage girl he's raised and groomed to follow in his footsteps, to infiltrate the Titans as The Mole and ultimately betray them over to his side. Damian Wayne gets betrayed and captured ahead of schedule, so Slade wastes no opportunity to beat the crap out of him and attempt to break him as vengeance for costing him the League of Assassins. Slade's made Terra so dependent on him after having saved her life that she's developed a romantic attraction to him, a much older man, and uses this by promising her they can be together once the job is completed. But when he's seemingly killed Nightwing and is told by Brother Blood that he needs a Titan in Nightwing's place to complete the contract and be paid at full price, Slade has zero problem turning Terra over to have her life and power drained, coldly telling her "Sorry kid, but a contract is a contract."
  • Justice League: Throne of Atlantis: Black Manta readily assists Orm with his plan to start a war between Atlantis and the rest of the world, by slaughtering Atlantean civilians in sea craft that is disguised to look like a US military sub. Near the end of the film, Black Manta revealed he has been manipulating Orm into starting a genocidal war with the surface world, claiming that the war was his idea. Black Manta ultimately plans to kill Orm and take the riches of Atlantis for himself.
  • Batman: Bad Blood: Talia al Ghul, the new leader of the League of Assassins, is a Control Freak of the highest order, and Took a Level in Jerkass from Son of Batman. Her ultimate plan is is to use Bruce Wayne's technology to brainwash the world leaders attending his tech summit, in order to expand the League of Assassins' influence over the planet. Talia assembles a team of villains under the command of the Heretic, the adult clone of her and Bruce's Child by Rape Damian Wayne, and orders them to capture Bruce so his mind could be broken with Mad Hatter's machine; Mad Hatter has been forced to cooperate by means of an Explosive Leash. Later, Talia sends Heretic to attack Wayne Enterprises in order to steal technology necessary for her plan, near-fatally wounding Lucius Fox in the assault. When Heretic breaks down and begs for Talia to love him as a mother, and wishing to have Damian's memories, she shoots him in the head for disobeying her orders regarding Damian. As the brainwashing is taking place, she orders a mind-controlled Bruce to shoot Dick Grayson and their son Damian dead, coldly proclaiming that she and Bruce could always "make more".
  • Justice League vs. Teen Titans: Trigon, the father of Raven, is a powerful demon lord. Trigon met Raven's mother after she joined a cult that worshiped Trigon, with the cult managing to summon him. Trigon took the form of a handsome man and Raven's mom was taken with him. They retire to the bed chamber for sex, where Trigon reveals his true form and rapes her. Raven's mom escapes the cult and seeks protection in the peaceful dimension of Azarath. Raven is born here, but is treated as an outcast due to her demonic heritage. As a teen, Raven becomes curious about her origins and accidentally summons Trigon. Trigon then proceeds to destroy Azarath, killing countless people in the process. Raven manages to seal Trigon in a crystal, but Trigon uses his demon minions to enact a plan to free himself. He uses his demons to possess the Justice League and threatens to murder all of Raven's friends, forcing Raven to free him. After being freed, Trigon plans to destroy Earth, just as he did with Azarath.
  • Justice League Dark: Destiny is a malevolent sorcerer with a god complex. A former man of science, Destiny became consumed by a lust for power and, using a combination of Black Magic and his own soul, created a magical artifact called the Dreamstone, which had the ability to force its victims to live their worst nightmares, often driving them into a murderous rage. Destiny used the Dreamstone to spread fear and chaos across the land until he was defeated by the demon Etrigan and Merlin, but not before he mortally wounded the knight Jason Blood, resulting in him merging with Etrigan to save his life. His physical form destroyed, Destiny's spirit resided in a fragment of the Dreamstone for centuries until it was uncovered by Ritchie Simpson, who was dying of a magical illness. Playing on the man's desperation for immortality, Destiny manipulates Ritchie into spreading the Dreamstone's dark magic across the world, resulting in casualties on a global scale, while Destiny fed off of the negative energy of the stone's victims. Upon returning to physical form upon the Dreamstone being united, Destiny possesses Ritchie's body and sets off to continue his worldwide conquest. Affecting a nearby city with the Dreamstone's magic to gain power, Destiny causes mass chaos and destruction, and kills Swamp Thing when he attempts to intervene. Even when defeated, Destiny mortally wounds Jason Blood, resulting in the latter's death.

And for the last group ("Others") (the ones not here are fine as is; Slade and Trigon are for Teen Titans):

  • Beware the Batman: Anarky, Batman's Arch-Enemy, is a far cry from his comic version. An utter madman who views himself and Batman as two kings on a chess board, one representing order and peace, the other chaos and destruction, Anarky commits all of his crimes out of a pathological love for attention and a sheer enjoyment of being evil. In his first appearance, Anarky grants two petty crooks high-tech weaponry before sending them on a rampage through Gotham, after which he rigs two gondolas filled with people to explode unless Batman can stop them in time. Later, Anarky pits Batman and the League of Assassins against each other as part of a plan to unleash a lethal plague onto all of Gotham, and attempts to bomb a populated park filled with police officers while trying to frame Batman. At the end of the series, Anarky makes corrupting District Attorney Harvey Dent into evil his personal pet project, and successfully drives Dent to institute martial law in Gotham while threatening the lives of all those who stand in his way. In the sequel tie-in comic, Anarky unlocks every door in Gotham City for a single night, then tries to spur all of the citizens into a panic-induced riot that he hopes will tear Gotham apart in the ultimate display of chaos. Though soft-spoken and eerily polite, Anarky is the most wicked foe Batman faced in the series, having no empathy, no mercy, and no motive at all except his basic whims.
  • Gen¹³: The Movie: Ivana Baiul is the headmaster of an academy that invites what it considers the best and brightest into its ranks. However Baiul knocks out the students and performs dangerous experiments on them every night, hoping to give them superpowers and create an army of Super Soldiers, that she will use to overthrow the US government. When one of them, Caitlin Fairchild, develops super powers, Baiul wants her taken, either dead or alive, so she can run more experiments to create more superpowered beings. Baiul captures Fairchild's friends and has them tortured. When military aircraft arrive to investigate her base, Baiul orders them to be shot down. After the military forces get through her defenses, Baiul orders one of her troops to blow up the base. When he refuses, noting it would kill several of their own men in the process, Baiul kills him and activates the bombs after she escapes. Baiul's main henchman, Matthew Callaghan, believes the government killed his parents, but at the end of the film it is revealed that Baiul herself experimented on and killed his parents.
  • Legion of Super-Heroes: Brainiac 1.0 was a menace from the past who quickly became one of the most dangerous foes the Legion has ever faced. Brainiac 1.0 was introduced in a flashback, where he shrinks and steals the city of Kandor from Krypton. Within Kandor was a power source that was stabilizing Krypton, but with this power source gone Krypton was soon destroyed. Brainiac 1.0 himself was destroyed long ago, but his programming resided within Brainiac 5, cut off from the other systems, waiting for a chance to be released. This chance came when Brainiac 5 accessed Brainiac 1.0's programming to gain knowledge to defeat Imperiex. Though Brainiac 1.0's knowledge was useful in defeating Imperiex, every time he used it Brainiac 1.0 was able to gain more control. Brainiac 1.0 slowly corrupted Brainiac 5, until eventually he took control of Brainiac 5's body. Then Brainiac quickly betrays Imperiex—who had helped Brainiac 1.0 take over Brainiac 5's bodykilling him because he was no longer useful to him. Brainiac then proceeds with his plan to bring the entire universe under his control, by transforming all living beings in the universe into streams of data. After digitizing some planets, Brainiac returns to his home planet Colu and reprograms all the inhabitants there to serve as his army and aid in his quest to digitize the universe.
    • Slade—never called "Deathstroke" here—was a cold, manipulative criminal mastermind. Slade's main goal throughout the series was to find himself an apprentice whom he could mold into being just as cruel and ruthless as he was. First targeting Robin, Slade came up with various schemes to test the Boy Wonder's mettle before finally infecting Robin's friends with nanobots that would destroy them from the inside out should Robin not follow Slade's every command. When his plans for Robin were thwarted, Slade next turned his attention to Terra. Taking advantage of her status as an outsider who would never be accepted because of her destructive powers, Slade manipulated her into joining and befriending the Titans, betraying them and finally trying to kill them. After Terra finds herself in over her head while fighting the Titans and retreats, Slade physically abuses her for defying his orders. When Terra tries to quit her apprenticeship, Slade reveals that the suit he gave her to enhance her powers also gave him complete control over her body and vowed that he would never let her go. Though Slade dies when Terra rebels against him, he is eventually resurrected by the demonic Omnicidal Maniac, Trigon, to act as the demon's dragon. Slade took a vicious pleasure in his work towards ensuring the apocalypse, mind raping Raven with visions of her destiny as the Antichrist and selling out all of humanity to Trigon in exchange for Trigon giving him back his soul. Even when Slade rebels against Trigon, it isn't out of altruism, but because Trigon refused to honor their bargain.
    • Trigon the Terrible himself, father of Raven, had conceived her solely to serve as a Human Sacrifice to become his portal into the realm of mortals so that he could destroy the Earth and all life on it, just as he did to Raven's homeworld of Azarath; Raven has been repressing her powers and emotions in order to avoid letting this come to pass. After Slade died in season 2, Trigon rescued him from Purgatory and offered him his life back were he to serve him in bringing Raven to her destiny. Trigon later comes to Raven in a vision, emotionally abusing her and cruelly attempts to break her will so that she submits to his demands of her. When Slade asks for his promised payment, Trigon calls the deal off because, thanks to Trigon's own manipulations, Raven had come to him willingly rather than Slade delivering her to him, and Trigon attempts to incinerate Slade on the spot. Trigon then destroys the world immediately as he arrives, turning all mortal life to stone and creating a Hell on Earth for him to reign over. He then plots to expand this destruction to all worlds in the dimension so that he could conquer the universe and all would worship him as a deity, and when the Titans fight back, he not only brings out their own dark sides to torment them for his amusement, but he tries to murder his daughter, whom he openly deems to be worthless.
