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. 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.
  9. 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.

Looks good, except the Welcome to the Game entry should be at BOTH the Creepypasta page AND Video Games: Q to Z.

Um, it was cut and recreated. This called for a custom title, not for another iteration of the cut and restore routine; I got it. Got the other edit request too.

On Television Is Trying to Kill Us, please move Courtroom Antics to between Couldn't Find a Lighter and Cow Tipping, and change it to Courtroom Antic, as tropes should not be listed in indices under their redirects.note

For Characters.RWBY Team RWBY, need some slight changes to each of the character descriptions. Just adding the names of their Semblances, but I'll paste in the whole paragraph to make it easier.

Under Ruby, the second paragraph needs to be changed to:

Ruby's weapon, Crescent Rose, is described as a "high velocity sniper-scythe". As this suggests, its a large scythe that also fires high-caliber sniper rifle ammo. In addition, its blade angle can change -- usually relative to Ruby's momentum -- effectively turning it into a war glaive (a polearm with an inwardly-curving sword-like blade on the end). Her Semblance "Petal Burst" allows her to become a cloud of rose petals, granting her an immense speed and mobility boost.

Under Weiss, the second paragraph needs to be changed to:

Weiss's weapon, Myrtenaster, is described as a "multi-action Dust rapier". It has a revolving chamber that gives it supernatural effects. Her Semblance, "Glyphs", allows her to generate InstantRunes which allow her to perform a variety of effects ranging from augmenting her speed or defying gravity, to summoning ice-clones of the foes she's slain in previous battles. She is able to combine Dust and her Glyphs to create additional effects, such as creating gravitational force.

Under Blake, the second paragraph needs to be changed to:

Blake's weapon, Gambol Shroud, is described as a "variant ballistic chain-scythe". While it seems to resemble an oversized cleaver, that's actually its sheath, which has a sharp edge in itself. The weapon itself is a katana with a gun attached to it, and the gun's trigger is itself attached to a ribbon Blake wraps around her wrist. Her Semblance, "Shadow," lets her create temporary shadow clones that allow Blake to dodge incoming attacks.

Under Yang, the second paragraph needs to be changed to:

Yang's weapon, Ember Celica, is described as "dual-ranged shot-gauntlets". They're a pair of retractable gauntlets that can fire shotgun shells. Her Semblance, "Burn," allows her to absorb energy from the damage she takes when struck and use it to multiply her strength.

Please replace the following section of the Hate Sink thread header:

With regards to this trope, actions still generally speak louder than words. The format of editing which brings up characters who don't fit the bill, doesn't generally go into enough detail with regards to what makes these characters loathsome.

The entries for this trope should focus on who does qualify, not the characters who do not.

With the following:

With regards to this trope, actions still generally speak louder than words. The format of editing which brings up characters who don't fit the bill before mentioning the candidate's name doesn't generally go into enough detail with regards to what makes these characters loathsome.

The entries for this trope should ideally focus on who does qualify, rather than the characters who do not. However, denoting the fact that the character sets themselves apart from more charismatic/sympathetic/likeable characters of the setting is perfectly reasonable, and in some cases even necessary, so long as in doing so, one does not neglect to mention their despicable traits.

Edit: Here is a link to the thread in question.

On YMMV.Game Of Thrones S 8 E 6 The Iron Throne, please remove all examples from the Hilarious in Hindsight section except for the Jerome Flynn example, as they are misuse of the trope, since they don't refer to things that happened after the episode aired. Please also remove the They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character example, as it is also misuse, since it doesn't refer to a character who appears but is underutilized.

Please lock Administrivia.Creating New Pages (and place it on Locked Pages), it's been vandalized at least three times by new users that don't understand that you have to make a new article before you start editing.

Fixed some grammar for my entry in Internet Backdraft:

  • Bad Export for You: A work does manage to get exported to other regions, but is inferior compared in its home region, resulting in backlash, especially in the region it was exported to.

Also want to add a new one:

Eh, good enough.

We should be caught up, but ~ACW, please confirm this for the Complete Monster stuff.

~alnair20aug93, this seems like a lot to add right off the bat, given the trope just launched a few days ago. I'd like to hold off for now.

~SkyCat32, if you're asking for a thread edit, please link the thread.

~Siegfried1337, there is no entry for Bad Export for You on Internet Backdraft. There is only No Export for You.
