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
.
- 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.
- 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 request that Scar be removed from the Disney section of Complete Monster. The Disney CM thread presented various reasons why he might not qualify, and even one of the users who argued for keeping him on the list
has since sent me a PM stating that in hindsight he agrees with removing him from the list.
While he was memorably more sickening than the average Disney villain, there is still plenty of space between that and CM-level villainy.

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerAll one of the wicks changed.
...I didn't know it was only one okay!

"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerSelfDemonstrating.Ptitleijqobqvle9an is locked. Can someone please move it to SelfDemonstrating.BRIANBLESSED and index it so I don't get that nasty "not indexed" warning please? And get rid of the ptitle?
Streisand Effect has a mention of Fast Eddie that looks a bit iffy. If it doesn't fit, can it be removed to discussion?
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanSpeaking of the Streisand Effect, the Web Original example about "a woman in Wisconsin" has broken hottip markup. ... I'm not entirely clear how it's broken, since the code looks to be perfectly well-formed.

she her hers hOI!!! i'm tempeMade the edits to Streisand Effect. The reason for the broken hottip coding was the presence of [ ] tags in the markup. You can't have internal closing square brackets within a hottip anymore.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I brought it up in Ask The Tropers already, but maybe you should look at the discussion for that page as well.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerJust one very old item. Which I removed. If any other edits want to get made, they can come here; I'm not watching the Discussion page for every locked article.

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Yup, just that one item was what I was talking about.
"If you aren't him, then you apparently got your brain from the same discount retailer, so..." - FighteerOn Naming A Trope, the quote is indented wrong. The quote should be indented once, and the attribution should be indented twice.
On Sideboob can Orangina be changed to Advertising.Orangina?

Keeper of The Celestial FlameI was just about to do that but someone else got it first, apparently. Edit: Ha! ninja modding!

"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I promised myself to never come back here, but unfortunately I have no option. In the Complete Monster page, there is a hidden message saying: '''NoRealLifeExamplesPlease'''. Not even to call ''[[SelfDeprecation yourself]]'' one. I'm not sure how useful it is to have a link to NRLEP or SD, or the italics and bold, when they can't even be displayed for being a hidden thing. I should simply say: No Real Life Examples, Please. Not even to call yourself one.
Going further into Fridge Logic: Why even putting that there? Because the page is locked, no one is going to check the source code just to receive a warning that is already visible among the indexes anyway.

The page was not always locked. Eddie hid that in comments, without modifying the markup. Since nobody will ever see it unless they're viewing the source, I see no point in worrying about it.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"On Chekovs Gun, Where No Fan Has Gone Before should be in quotes, not italics.
The Chick includes the line...
"Yes, we understand that a role very like this could be filled by a male, but this is a trope is component of a Five-Man Band, which is specifically four guys and a girl. Examples of male characters acting in this way can be found in The Heart."
...whose highlighted text (my emphasis) needs its grammar fixing.
For another thing, this directly contradicts what it says about gender on the (also locked) Five-Man Band page, so one of those should probably be edited into some form of consensus. Does The Chick need to be a chick, or not? And does she need to be the only chick, or not?

On Edit War, could the image be replaced with this one
◊? It's the same image but slightly downsized (to 270 pixels wide rather than 300), so the line along the bottom of the page won't be interrupted.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
