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.

Please add this to DC Universe (Post-Crisis):

  • Xombi: Roland Finch, from the 2011 revival note , is a seemingly-charming man only out for self-advancement. Perpetually pursued by various enemies he's made in his long history of deceit, Finch seduces a woman named Annie Palmer, integrating himself with the Ninth Stronghold. Finch subtly tears the entire civilization apart through his manipulations before murdering the twin rulers of the Stronghold and massacring the survivors himself, casting Palmer down to Earth to live her remaining days alone. Intending to completely wipe out the twenty other Strongholds to enjoy the luxury of the Stronghold alone, Finch manipulates Palmer's desire to go home and continues using her as a pawn, having her slaughter a prison and release a prisoner he's infused with the embodiment of rage itself, fully intending on awakening the entity and having it kill Palmer once he's done with using her. Never shown denying how self-absorbed he is and instead opting to revel in it, Finch is little more than a cruel, manipulative snake of a man willing to use and abuse people as he sees fit.

As Pokémon Sword and Shield is locked, would this entry do?

  • Shout-Out: On November 8th 2019 (a full week before the release date), the official Pokemon channel on Youtube uploaded Toby Fox's contribution to the game, and in its description they not only cited him as the creator of Undertale but also said that they "hope it fills you with determination", referencing Undertale's central element as well.

Hollywood Tactics, Literature, World War Z, yet another bullet point:

  • Running the other guy over with your armored ride was an old idea when Alexander the Great was around. Tanks were literally built in the WWI era to overrun infantry positions, and those infantry were far more dangerous than zombies. The US Army has numerous vehicles which, when sealed, would be utterly impervious to blows from the zombies. Given how zombies work in this setting, heavy fighting vehicles and tanks would literally be able to mulch them in droves while the zombies charge the vehicles in an utterly futile attempt to get to the humans inside. The vehicles never simply plow the zombies down even though overrunning infantry is an obvious role for armor. note

Please cut the Metal Gear stuff from Video Games G To P.

Please lock Metal Gear and add it to Comic Books for examples with their own pages (or you can unlock Comic Books and I can do it myself, like I did for Video Games).

At Literature R to Z, for The Silver Kiss, please change Creepy Child to Undead Child.

~TheDocCC, feels a bit lengthy, particularly with the note. Anyway it can be trimmed down a bit?

~ACW, I unlocked Monster.ComicBooks.

~ravioliluigi, in cases of creator and work pages, we encourage redlinks so that, if the page gets created in the future, the link is already there.

It was cut for being a stub, not permanently declared unfit for a page.

Since Examples Are Not Recent is locked, I'd like to have the following sentence (or something like it) added to the page:

"While Timestamps Are Your Friends on forums, they aren't present on wiki pages, so they're of no help there."

Edit: Previously messed up the wording of my edit request. I fixed it.

Seemed to have missed this a while back. Can this please go under Fan Works on Other?

  • Avengers: Endgame (Dragonis Prime): Thanos maintains the guile of his canon counterpart in this alternate telling of the film. After wiping out half of all life in the universe, Thanos retired to the Garden in peace. When the Avengers arrive seeking revenge, Thanos destroys all but the Reality Stone to prevent them from undoing his work. After he's killed by Thor, the Thanos of an alternate timeline learns about the history of his counterpart and sets about to assemble his Infinity Gauntlet more efficiently. He helps start Ragnarok to kill Thor, and murders Eitri before he could forge a weapon that could kill him. Thanos fails to collect the Time Stone and spends the next few years balancing worlds one at a time while crushing the rebellion led by the surviving Avengers. Realizing the main timeline would have the Time Stone he needs, Thanos travels to the Avengers Compound and tries to recruit Steve Rogers to his side. When that fails, he strips Carol Danvers of her powers and has Ebony Maw destroy his home dimension to keep him focused on his new goal of wiping out half of all life across the entire multiverse.

For Complete Monster (Tabletop Games):

"Drachenfels. The Great Enchanter. A devil in human form, who cheated Death for centuries unknown; a man with appetites so base they lay beyond satiation; a necromancer, torturer of the dead, dismemberer of spirits; a vileness made flesh; a wizard, a scholar, a monster. Untold are the reaches of his barbarities, uncounted the number of his treacheries, beyond belief the depravities of his practices. Was ever such a vileness born of mortal flesh?"
Lives of the Depraved, by Konrad Steinhoff, Warhammer Fantasy RPG 1st ED—Castle Drachenfels

Ghost wicks to StrawFeminist:


    Nevermind? 
Idiot as a redirect to The Ditz?

If so, then we need a new place for this to point to:

DarthWiki.How Not To Write A Trope Page:

  • [[Idiot or if the page even actually exists.]]


If that's made, then The Idiot should be a redirect:

'''''The Idiot''''' may refer to

* The trope known as TheDitz, for stupid characters.
* The novel translated as ''Literature/TheIdiot'', and is called "Идиот" in the original Russian.
* The 1977 musical album, ''Music/TheIdiot''.

If a direct wick has led you here, please correct the link so that it points to the corresponding article.
——

Apparently, The Ditz is very specific.
