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.

At Video Games G To P, for Killzone, a slight tweak to the header:

  • The Killzone series has several ruthless villains from the planet of Helghan (and one human who supports them):

And slight tweak to an entry:

  • Shadow Fall: Dr. Hillary Massar is the aforementioned human who views the Helghast as "superior" species and believes the inferior must be annihilated. Using her scientific genius, Massar experiments fatally on innocent beings to develop a plague that will kill everything of Terran blood, no matter how small. Massar relished the point when it would be destroyed, killing all humans except for herself.

At Complete Monster, for Comic Books, please replace all the Batman stuff with this:

Please also add this to the same folder:

This isn't an official request yet, but are any of these images too grapgic for Complete Monster?

May you please unlock Square Peg, Round Trope so tropers can still add tropes that get misused a lot?

Ok, Tropers/nombretomado. Here is my writeup.

Females Are More Innocent: Women are often considered to be inherently more morally pure and good than men. As a result, female villains are far more likely to have a sympathetic backstory and/or redemption, and their evil actions will be blamed on a male villain who “made her do it”. Truly evil female characters are incredibly rare compared to truly evil male ones. This, sadly, also manifests in Real Life as the Victim-Blaming of men abused by women, who are considered to have “deserved it” somehow, “driven her” to do it, etc.

What do you think?

[up][up][up] Since there only looks to be one example per entry on that page, I’d say the pair of him killing the elderly couple is the best balance of horror and graphic-ness.

~FridgeGuy2016, it looks like you posted the same question in the Outdated pages thread, where you got a decent answer. I'm of two minds, as a general rule we don't want Administrivia pages getting tweaked by potential vandals, but SPRT has never gotten into too much trouble.

~MasterN, I think the last part is a bit nattery for the purposes of explaining the trope's place on the index, so I deleted it. Otherwise added.

Done to here.

For Internet Backdraft:

  • Scapegoat Creator: The creator gets blamed for taking the story in an unpopular direction. Cue lots of hate mail from angry fans.

Please add "gets unfairly blamed" as per cleanup the trope require it explain why the treatment is unfair to avoid it being Creator Bashing.

At Marvel Cinematic Universe, for Far From Home, please make it:

Quentin Beck, aka Mysterio...


Complete Monster:
  • For Joker (Comic Books), please replace the second sub-bullet with this:

At Tabletop Games, please remove the Warhammer header (NOT the Warhammer 40,000 header) so it's just like this:
Please remove the Mega man thing from Comic Books: I to Z; add Mega Man to Comic Books for examples with their own pages; and at Mega Man itself, please replace the last section with this:

Comic Books (by publication date)

  • Novas Aventuras De Megaman:
    • Dr. Wily is the ultimate dictator of the world After the End. Originally a young scientist, Wily was the leader of Project Saint Lazarus, where young Brazilian girls were kidnapped and turned into cyborgs to become the next step in computer robotics, with Wily having experimented on over a hundred children. Imprisoned by Mega Man and friends, Wily broke out and partnered with the Holzenbein Estate and some aliens to create the Neo-Mavericks, which Wily used to slaughter most of humankind and become the world's dictator, even creating an apocalypse after nuking an entire city to get rid of Dr. Light. Once Mega Man is awakened by Roll, Wily sends his men out to track Mega Man's location, uncaring for their deaths, even allowing Mega Man to kill his business rivals. Knowing that the aliens will return and usurp control of the earth away from him, Wily and his 150 Mavericks try and kill the Mega Man family for good, hoping to capture Roll and keep the world for himself.
    • Mr. Holzenbein is a corrupt scientist turned businessman who took part in Project Saint Lazarus to sell the robotic girls for their organs and sexual slavery. Having worked with Wily on his plan to rule the world, Holzenbein split from him and started his own company, where he has little girls cloned and sold for profit. Kidnapping various women and performing voodoo sacrifices on them for no reason, Holzenbein plans to overthrow Wily and take his place as the world's dictator, announcing to his assistant the end of everything.
  • Mega Man (Archie Comics): Ra Moon is a sinister AI who crash-landed on Earth centuries ago with aspirations of control. Manipulating an ancient civilization into worshipping it—and even establishing bloody ritual sacrifice in its name—Ra Moon eventually tires of its slaves and decimates the entire civilization whilst sealing itself underground. Upon returning from dormancy in the present day and being found by Dr. Wily, Ra Moon placidly provides for Wily's conquests before betraying the doctor and revealing its intention to scour the planet of both humans and robots alike, unleashing a global EMP wave and causing worldwide catastrophe. Intending on powering up its wave to boil out the brains of any humans it hasn't already killed, Ra Moon's response to resistance is to turn Wily's own creation against him and order it to start maiming Dr. Wily before murdering him, and brainwashing every Robot Master that stands against it.

Edit request for The Last Jedi

  • Fight Scene Failure: Rey and Kylo's battle with the Praetorian Guards is full of this. The battle includes numerous moments where the guards stand by and don't attack, or they wiff attacks while Rey and Kylo do nothing to block or dodge. A particularly infamous moment has one of the guards' weapons suddenly vanish behind Rey's back mid-shot and he appears to be catching her from falling.

Please add No Recent Examples, Please! to the "Trope Maintenance" section of Administrivia. It's a policy that puts a compulsory waiting period before adding examples of tropes. And it's been created back in March, but wasn't yet added to the index.

Please remove the "is full of this" and "The battle" from the aforementioned Fight Scene Failure example and have the two sentences connect. It's natter and makes the example sound complainy.

Edit request for a video game section to be added to False Rape Accusation with the following example:

  • Kindergarten: If the protagonist insults Cindy, she will loudly accuse him of raping her to get back at him. Of course, since Cindy and the protagonist are both kindergarteners, neither the teacher nor the principal takes the accusation very seriously, though that doesn't stop you from getting shot by the principal if you don't deny it. She tries to pull the same thing again in the sequel, only for Ms. Applegate to cut her off.

Main.Bachelorette (which doesn't exist) has a ghost wick to Completely Missing The Point and needs to be re-cut.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

Hiya, with this please:

  • Put one and two on Comic Books "Other" section;
  • Three on the "Animated" section for Film;
  • Four-seven on the Live-Action section of the same page;
  • Eight for Literature;
  • Nine and ten to replace the current The Wire entry on Live-Action TV;
  • Eleven for Theatre;
  • Twelve-fifteen on the Fan section of Other, the new Echoes tree replacing the old one;
  • Sixteen for the Music section of the same page.

On Anime & Manga please put "Nōgami" behind Neuro's name in the first sentence and "Katsuragi" behind Yako's.

Cheers!

~43110, FYI that if you pothole the editing URL, it doesn't work (the post in question just shows up empty). Please pothole the plain link next time.
