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.

CM thread Troper here. I have recently watched Kamen Rider 555 with the original English translation and I have to do some changes on Minami's entry, the other translation got some things wrong, this rewrite fixed everything that was incorrect. Will add to YMMV immediately.

  • Kamen Rider 555: Masahiko Minami is a xenophobic National Police Agency officer and human supremacist who leads an opposition against Orphnochs to purge all of them, living by his own sociopathic dilemma of using those who allow themselves to be used. Introduced stopping a police investigation, Minami recruits an innocent detective to spy on an Orphnoch, and orders his death when the man began sympathizing with Orphnochs. In his facility, Minami has an Orphnoch kept locked inside a glass box as his own guinea pig, conducting inhumane experiments to revert them back to human form. Making a deal with Smart Brain to have more subjects, Minami captures Yuka and electrocutes her, ignoring complaints that the operation could kill her, as he considers her a "worthless life" anyway. When she is saved by his prisoner, Minami promises that he is trying to work towards human and Orphnoch cooperation, but sets up a squad of heavily armed soldiers to eliminate Yuka, Kiba and Takumi, indirectly causing her death. When the laboratory is attacked by an enraged Kiba, Minami leaves his staff to die and escapes to save his own skin. When he's found and killed by Kiba, Minami spends his last moments laughing at his face and stating that the Orphnochs will never succeed. Existing solely to show that Humans Are the Real Monsters, Minami proved himself to be far more evil than many Orphnochs.

~TheMadCr0w, please link the page you'd like to be edited (i.e. Monster.Kamen Rider) in the future.

That and ACW's request are done.

Please cut the Gears of War entry from Video Games G To P.

At Music, for the header, please add this:

For acts with multiple entries, the entries are sorted by release date.

For Complete Monster (Literature):

"[Steerpike] no longer wanted to kill his foe in darkness and silence. His lust was to stand naked upon the moonlit stage, with his arm stretched high and his fingers spread, and with the warm fresh blood that soaked him sliding down his wrists, spiralling his arms and steaming in the cold night air- to suddenly drop his hands like talons to his breasts, and tear it open to expose a heart like a black vegetable- and then, upon the crest of self-exposure, and the sweet glory of wickedness, to create some gesture of supreme defiance, lewd and rare; and then with the towers of Gormenghast about him, cheat the castle of its jealous right and die of his own evil in the moonbeams"

At Complete Monster, for Comic Books, please remove The Nail entry and add this:

Main.Kirepapa has a ghost wick to Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!, which was merged with Silver Fox per TRS.

Edit: Also, not a locked page, but wick change from Grandpa, What Massive Hotness You Have to Silver Fox on Self-Fanservice was reverted due to an edit collision, and I don't want to edit war.

On Sinkhole, please add this, as it is another form of a sinkhole:

  • Linking to an Article Within the Article: An article should never be linked to within itself. It's easy to see if it's in Wiki Words, but sometimes people pothole the article within it, causing the reader to look at the link to avoid going to that same page. And do not pothole any lines in the page to a redirect of that page, either.

On the locked "Griefer" page, there's a section I want to edit.

"Plus, you knew who they really were, and they were within range of your foot or your hand."

I would like to change it to this.

~Josef5678, is there an exception of the italicized formatting rule for religious texts?

~MetroidPeter, I'm not really getting the point of that edit.

Hi there. The Roleplay Namespace Cleanup and Maintenance thread wishes to clean Cerberus Daily News and its character/recap subpages; however, the pages in question are locked. Given that the clean-up edits are quite extensive, I created sandboxes to make the edits in- all that's required now is to move the contents over. To that effect, can you please:

Thanks much!

Characters.RWBY Team RWBY: In Blake's Bare Your Midriff example, there's an extra quote at the end that is unrelated to that example; I assume it was cruft from some other edit. Specifically, this part needs to be deleted:

Adam: I will make it my mission to destroy everything you love... Starting with her.
