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.

~Rytex, Ubisoft Tower runs afoul of Trope Namer Syndrome. It seems like that was pointed out in the TLP draft as well, so even though it had some support, I think that's going to be a decline.
I do think you are going to get some search benefit from it being included in the description, though. It's just not going to be a redirect.
~Dravencour, I concede it is common, but I don't think it improves search results or trope clarity.
~Crossover-Enthusiast, I'll come back to that request in a bit.
~ACW, sorry about those mistakes. Everything good?
~Crossover-Enthusiast, I'm comparing the two messages:
"The edit you made on [article] is speculating about the events of the work. We trope events that explicitly happen within the work; theory-crafting or theorizing about Ambiguous Situations has no place on the main wiki and should be saved for Wild Mass Guessing."
"The [article] edit you made looks like it is speculating on unreleased events. Please read the Speculative Troping; examples can only come from publicly available information, not assumptions, unofficial leaks, or early-access. When an example occurs in marketing for the work, make sure to mention that in the context of the example. Articles for unreleased works will be processed here
; pages that do not meet wiki policy may be cut."
What's the goal in the rewrite? Brevity?

Mostly. One more thing (and this is my bad): The Maker should have a Comic Book namespace.

"unreleased speculation" would be for speculation or uncited examples based on pre-release material for unreleased works, standard "speculation" would be for regular speculation on released works. The current speculation notifier only talks about unreleased stuff, and I figured adding the stuff about actually released works would make it too long.
Any edits regarding Complete Monster should be proposed to and approved by the Complete Monster discussion thread
. Propose your suggestion using the provided template and convince the others on why they should vote for your candidate.

RIP KissAnime.At Literature H to Q, for Irene, please make it fame for a new novel he's writing.
Please cut the Nightmare House example from Video Games G To P. A revised entry will be going to Fan Works with Monday's batch.
At Kamen Rider, for V3, please cut the "/Zariganna" for Marshal Armor.
Edited by ACW on Sep 5th 2019 at 5:58:09 AM
~ACW, there is no /Zariganna. There is a /Destron Rider; is that what should be cut?
Edited by nombretomado on Sep 5th 2019 at 5:01:43 AM
~Crossover-Enthusiast, I couldn't tell you why, but the notifier creator is rejecting attempts to create a new notifier. I amalgam'ed the two cases into one for now.
Please redirect Colour Separation Overlay to Chroma Key, as the abbreviation CSO already redirects there.
(British English spelling only, as it's a British-exclusive term.)
2025: the year it all ends?Nombre: I don't know. Let me ask ~The Mad Cr0w
EDIT: Hmm, that didn't seem to work. I'll PM him.
Edited by ACW on Sep 6th 2019 at 5:14:18 AM
A Troper, n3xus, had changed "Destron Rider" to "Zariganna" without permission. As I mentioned on the CM thread, I proposed to remove "Destron Rider" anyway since it was non-canon to the show itself, and to avoid a possible Edit War with n3xus; "Zariganna" has been already removed from YMMV to match the CM locked page.
Edited by TheMadCr0w on Sep 6th 2019 at 9:59:59 AM
I don't understand how something used primarily by BBC means it's British-exclusive. I've seen Wikipedia and The Free Dictionary using Color Separation Overlay as a redirect, no reason for us not to do that too (though the article does not mention this term in any form).

Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)Addition for Complete Monster (Film):
- Palpatine
from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith.
Please cut 13 Reasons Why from Live Action TVA To L.
Please cut Superbook from Anime & Manga: O to Z and add the following to Western Animation (series):
- Superbook (2011):
- Satan himself is the cruel, manipulative devil who rules over Hell and wants to taint all of God's creation. After leading a failed coup in Heaven where he murdered many angels, Satan corrupts Adam and Eve, unleashing his influence onto the Earth and allowing him to spread death and chaos. Satan causes natural disasters for fun, orders his demons to drive people insane, and personally ruins the life of Job, killing many of his servants and sons in the process just to try to prove a point. Satan's final plan is to destroy most of humanity and enslave the rest, a plan which he personally tries to start by murdering two children while mocking them.
- Haman is the despicable advisor to King Xerxes who, after feeling personally insulted when the Jew Mordecai won't bow to him, decides to exterminate every Jew in Xerxes's kingdom. Haman tricks Xerxes into believing the Jews are a violent and treacherous people and sends out the order to kill every Jew young and old in the kingdom, personally constructing a gallows in his own home so he can watch with glee at Mordecai's death by hanging.

With Tumblr in its death throes, I think it's time to work in a complete overhaul of the site's pages. Pretty much all of them bear the earmarks of having been written up around 2012-2013. Tumblr's entire culture has gone through so many morphs by now that it's impossible for TV Tropes' pages on it to not look incredibly dated. I'd love to open up a discussion on what should stay and go.
I'm just a dumbass who loves LOONA.Usual batch to come tomorrow, but we have quite a lot this week, so here's a mini batch
:
- First tree & following 2 entries go to Comic Books: I to Z.
- At Kamen Rider, Titan goes after Gorgos (Showa folder); while for Heisei Phase 2, please double-indent Weather Dopant and add Jewel Dopant below.
- MK tree goes to Web Original (Others).
- Next entry can go before the last entry at Resident Evil. Please also remove the spoiler from that last entry and add the !All spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned! to the page.
- Duo goes to Other Media, Others.
- Morpehus and Morbid replace current entry at Fallout, while next thing goes at the end of that page.
- Moriarty goes at the end of Hellraiser. Please also add the !All spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned! to the page.
- Next thing goes at the end of Mortal Kombat. At the header, please remove "Spoilers are not hidden." and add the !All spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned! to the page.
- Moriarty goes at the end of the Literature section of Sherlock Holmes.
Thanks.
EDIT: Slight rewrite for Film A To C (Alex Cross films):
- Kiss the Girls: "Casanova"—Detective Nicholas Ruskin—is a Serial Killer and Serial Rapist who, as a self-proclaimed "collector of loves", kidnaps young women and locks them up in an underground dungeon in the woods to create a captive harem he can use to act out his twisted fantasies. Any girl who breaks his rules or tries to escape is either murdered by lethal injection or tied to a tree to die of starvation and exposure. He admits that his motive for all this is purely the thrill he gets in possessing other human beings and breaking them down completely through rape and torture. His allegiance with the "Gentleman Caller", a fellow serial killer from the West Coast, is similarly self-interested as he sees him as expendable. Near the end he visits the only girl who escaped by herself to complete his attempted murder of her. When detective Alex Cross arrives on the scene after having figured out Casanova's real identity, Casanova taunts Cross by pointing out how he molested Cross's niece, one of his last victims, for more than a week.

For Fan Works, in the RWBY section, please cut the Could've Gone Better example, since the fic was taken down, and please change the link for the A Rose Burnt to Cinders example to http://web.archive.org/web/20161231074139/http://archiveofourown.org/works/6273082?view_full_work=true
.
On Complete Monster, please cut this from the film folder
It was agreed to not fit on discussion here
~LunaSea and ~Karxrida, you might want to bring up the Tumblr pages in the website clean-up thread
. For larger clean-ups, such as whole pages, I'd recommend creating a Sandbox version (i.e. Sandbox.Tumblr) and requesting to swap it out once it's ready.
Edited by nombretomado on Sep 8th 2019 at 1:12:07 AM
~falcontalons, is there no back-up link for Could've Gone Better?
Done to here otherwise.
Edited by nombretomado on Sep 8th 2019 at 1:20:48 AM

At Anime & Manga: A to F, for Darker than Black, please make it OVA.
At Video Games G To P, for Prince of Persia, for The Forgotten Sands, "Ahihud invaded and ancient kingdom" should be "Ahihud invaded an ancient kingdom"
I don't know what happened at Dungeons & Dragons, but you changed the wrong Takhisis.
The was a miscommunication for the Maker (Ultimate Universe) at Marvel Comics; please just copy and paste this:
At Film M To R, please replace the Maciste stuff with this:
