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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 Spawn, for the image caption, please change the potholed link to this◊.
CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsCM 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.

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsMain.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 that note, even if the page remains locked, "reindeers" should be changed to "reindeer".
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.~dmcreif, I'm not really convinced on that unlock. Two months away will probably still attract the OTT edits.
Done to here.
Administrivia.Complete Monster: Emphasis should be removed from The Bible (listed under definitely not a CM).
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.
Tenth Letter is making a ghost wick to MostAnnoyingSound.
Disambig Needed: Help with those issues! tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13324299140A37493800&page=24#comment-576At Complete Monster, please move Darkseid between Wick and Monty.

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsOn 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.
"Plus, you knew who they really were, and they were within range of your foot, your hands, the arcade owner, and, if things got really serious, the police."
"You are what you choose to be." -Hogarth Hughes, The Iron Giant "You've got to fight to make a wish come true!" -Fantasy, The Pagemast~Josef5678, is there an exception of the italicized formatting rule for religious texts?
~MetroidPeter, I'm not really getting the point of that edit.
Done to here otherwise.
Sorry I didn't consider this, but please remove the bullet point on Linking to an Article Within the Article in Sinkhole.
Limpin' with the bizkit.Please change the title of the Angst 1983 writeup on Monster.Film A To C to Angst. I moved it because the disambiguation was unnecessary.
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:
- Replace the contents of Roleplay.Cerberus Daily News with that of Sandbox.Cerberus Daily News.
- Replace the contents of Characters.Cerberus Daily News Citadel Space with that of Sandbox.Cerberus Daily News Citadel Space.
- Replace the contents of Characters.Cerberus Daily News Terminus Space with that of Sandbox.Cerberus Daily News Terminus Space.
- Replace the contents of Recap.Cerberus Daily News Battle Of Veratix Station with that of Sandbox.Cerberus Daily News Battle Of Veratix Station.
- Please add the following entries to YMMV.Cerberus Daily News, which have been moved from the main pages:
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:
- During a meeting of CDN members on the Citadel, Carmichael came charging through with his weapon out and a squad of C-SEC officers along for the ride, shouting about finding a potted plant before it was too late. Carmichael followed this up by running through another meeting holding a Russian nesting doll and yelling about needing to find an airlock.
- When Dairo was disposing of the drive core in Veratix Station, something turned his biotic aura red and... possessed him briefly? It doesn't get referenced further.
- Designated Villain: Janice tends to get looked down upon, even though she's one of the few characters on the board whose day job doesn't consist of killing people, unlike certain heroes.
- Big-Lipped Alligator Moment:
- Please add the following entry to TearJerker.Cerberus Daily News, which has been moved from the recap page:
- When the SSV Benjamin Davis suffers hull breaches, some of the Alliance sailors and Marines are spaced. The Marines aboard the dropships listen to them dying over their comms.
- Also on the Tear Jerker page, the second bullet from the bottom has a broken link. Please add a http:// before the www so that it links properly.
- Also, I created the Trivia.Cerberus Daily News page to move trivia examples over from the main pages. I assume it will have to be locked to match the other CDN pages?
Thanks much!
they/them || "Forgive me, regent of queer amphibians" - Lt.BGobAt the headed at X-Men, please remove the Legion thing.
Also, at Other Media, for Roleplay, please cut Wikizilla Roleplay.

CM Dates; CM Pending; CM DraftsCharacters.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.
Done to here.
~Tropers/nombretomado I read on the How to Write an Example page that sacred texts have no emphasis other than capitalization, and the page for The Bible doesn't put it in italics either.
Thanks for verifying. Done.
OK, now we're all caught up.
