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.

In Unpleaseable Fanbase trope description:
It's enough to make an author want to give up.
Change the linked trope from Creator Breakdown to Orphaned Series

The Amazing Atheist has an Ear Worm entry that should be removed. It's now a trope.
Appreciate it!

Following a split and disambiguation between the main franchise and the first movie, please move the following elements:
- VideoExamples.Toy Story 1995 to VideoExamples.Toy Story 1 (I don't know how to move video examples).
- The discussion page for WesternAnimation.Toy Story to WesternAnimation.Toy Story 1
- The 3 reviews on WesternAnimation.Toy Story to WesternAnimation.Toy Story 1
Thanks in advance.

Wrong thread. You probably meant to post in this thread.
Also, how is it that some works can have their main pages locked, but not their YMMV?
Edited by SkyCat32 on Nov 14th 2019 at 9:06:41 AM
Feels good, don't it?
Usually because the problems were on the main page but not the YMMV, though that's more rare than the opposite.

It's November 15th 2019 everywhere now. I believe the time's come to unlock the locked Pokémon Sword and Shield pages, as Shiny Cotton Candy said.
Edited by DarkChirano on Nov 15th 2019 at 9:50:36 AM
Nothin' much, just cookin'.
Friends forevermore
I'd advise keeping the YMMV page locked for the time being, because the same issues still apply even after release.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.

So for Pokémon Sword and Shield again, I have another example which is about a really bad glitch. This is backed up by at least one news article and a Japanese player having it happen on their stream.
- Game-Breaking Bug: On launch date, the games shipped with a devastating glitch; the glitch in question made the games prone to a type of crash that could happen at any time and corrupt SD card data in the process if the SD card involved was formatted as exFAT instead of FAT32. Fortunately, the worst that could happen is loss of screenshots and recordings and having to redownload all software that was located on the given SD card.
Edited by Eggy0 on Nov 15th 2019 at 7:30:06 PM
I would like to add to what others have already said and request for at least the non-YMMV pages for Pokemon Swordand Shield to be unlocked, the character page for the pokemon species looks extremely sad with 90% of the evolution lines incomplete or outright outdated information.

At Batman, please replace the appropriate section with this:
Post-Crisis (May Also Include Pre-Crisis) (by order of appearance)
- The Joker, a sadistic Monster Clown with a Multiple-Choice Past, is Batman's Arch-Enemy. Over the course of his long career, despite being mostly without superpowers, he has: crippled Barbara Gordon and tried to psychologically torture her father into madness; sold nuclear weapons to terrorists; savagely beat Jason Todd with a crowbar, then killed him and Jason's mother with a time bomb; repeatedly emotionally and physically abused his girlfriend, Harley Quinn, going so far as to try to kill her multiple times; attempted to infect the entire world by poisoning the atmosphere with Joker-venom when he believed he was dying; tried to kill every newborn baby in Gotham in order to break the city's spirit, killing Commissioner Gordon's second wife, Sarah Essen, in the process; and stealing the powers of Mister Mxyzptlk, becoming a nigh-omnipotent god-like being who turned the world into a hellish caricature of itself, tortured Batman to death only to revive him and repeat the process continuously until Batman was driven insane, devouring everyone in China, and attempting to wipe out all of existence. The Joker's sole motivation, in committing every crime there is, is amusement, based on what his disturbed sense of humor deems funny.
- The first Black Mask, Roman Sionis, was once merely a rich socialite neglected by his parents, but his psychopathic sadism turned him into one of Gotham's most evil criminals. Murdering his parents and mutilating his fiancée in his rise to power, Black Mask indulges in his love for torture at every opportunity, performing it on not only otherwise-loyal henchmen just for fun, but also on the likes of Maggie Kyle and her husband in vicious ways—notably force-feeding parts of her husband to her—and later Stephanie Brown, torturing her with a variety of tools, which resulted in her death. Becoming the king of Gotham's underworld by murdering countless people in a gang war, Black Mask dabbles in trafficking, assassinations, and even orders a child be murdered just for spite. Black Mask meets his end after torturing one of Selina Kyle's best friends to near-death and boasts that he wants to become her Arch-Enemy and torture everyone she loves to death while forcing her to live through it all, continuing his trend of sadism, card-carrying villainy, and a hilarious black humor all the way to the grave with zero remorse for his atrocities.
- James Gordon, Jr. is the son of Commissioner James Gordon, and distinguishes himself from his heroic relatives in the extreme. Ever since his youth, James Jr. was a vicious Serial Killer, always hoping the next person would pick on him so it would give him an excuse to torture and kill them. In one instance, he cruelly slashed a woman's face for calling him Four-Eyes years prior. In another, he gruesomely dismembered a man for stealing his glasses a decade prior. James Jr. proceeded to torture his mother with the Joker's fear toxin; tortured his sister Barbara psychologically and physically, driving a pair of knives into her paralyzed legs; and revealed his master plan to destroy the morality of Gotham's children by injecting their food supply with a drug to destroy empathy, which he views as a weakness.
- Karl Branneck, from the July and August 1988 issues ("Elmore's Lady" & "Just Deserts"), is one half of a duo known as the Dumpster Killer, and the more dominant of the pair compared to the sycophantic Vito. Karl chooses well-off women, hunting them down, before torturing them, raping them and killing them painfully before leaving their remains in dumpsters for others to find. Provoking Batman's attention after a friend of Bruce Wayne's is murdered, Karl obtains ten victims before growing worried about media attention and murdering Vito. After being acquitted, Karl plans to resume his rape, torture and murder spree, targeting two more women, only to fall into the trap of a victim's sister, and dies cursing women in general, showing that in Gotham, one does not need a costume or powers to be pure evil.
- Batman: The Cult: Deacon Joseph Blackfire is a cult leader who believes humanity is a lost cause and deserves to be purged. Establishing his cult by kidnapping, torturing, and brainwashing homeless people into becoming his followers, Blackfire uses them to begin butchering criminals across Gotham, from entire crime gangs to petty pickpockets. Brainwashing Batman into assisting him, Blackfire assassinates numerous politicians across the city and kills dozens of police officers and soldiers before seizing control of Gotham City. Blackfire then allows crime and anarchy to run rampant throughout the streets, along with holding mass lynchings and executions regularly and displaying the bodies for all to see. Claiming to be immortal, Blackfire regularly bathes in a huge cauldron of human blood, having used the blood of hundreds of innocents for his baths. When confronted by Batman, Blackfire tries to force him to kill him in order to make himself a martyr and convince his followers to carry on his human-purging quest. Whether he is truly thousands of years old or just a petty con man is left ambiguous, but regardless, Deacon Joseph Blackfire was a narcissistic and misanthropic psychopath who stood out as one of the few villains Batman nearly killed due to his depravity.
- Abattoir, real name Arnold Etkar, born Arnold Etchison, is a psychotic, prolific Serial Killer who mainly targets family members, believing them to be evil, and believes he will eat their souls. In his second appearance, as part of a ritual he believes will grant him great power, Abattoir and his associates blow up the Gotham Bridge as a train is crossing, which would have killed thousands. Despite being captured yet again, Abattoir is one of the residents of Arkham Asylum who are broken out by Bane. After killing a family, he goes after his cousin Graham, hijacking a bus Graham and 12 orphans are on, planning to kill them all. Batman saves them, but Abattoir escapes, kidnapping the child of Clayface III and Lady Clayface to force them to help him. Abattoir eventually kidnaps Graham, and places him in a sadistic Death Trap, which eventually results in Graham suffering an agonizing, hours-long Cruel and Unusual Death. Even as a spirit, his evil lives on; in Jean-Paul Valley's old armor, he tries to induce a miscarriage in his niece to possess the unborn baby's body.
- Victor Zsasz, aka Mr. Zsasz, is one of Gotham's most prolific and horrifying serial killers. A man who believes in nothing, Zsasz erases the emptiness in his own life by murdering others, recording every victim upon his flesh in a tally mark scar. Zsasz has killed hundreds of people: men, women and children. Only one victim, Alfred Pennyworth, survived his attacks, which brought him into conflict with Batman, who soon earned Zsasz's eternal loathing. Zsasz has continued his crusade to rid the world of life one human at a time, murdering those who cross his path to "liberate" them from the meaninglessness of life. At one point, Zsasz abducted runaways and forced them to fight to the death. The winner would be forced to fight Zsasz himself.
- Joker's Apprentice, by C.J. Henderson et al.: Arthur Rankel is a vicious Serial Rapist and killer who was locked up after raping and killing 18 women. Learning new methods of evil under Joker's tutelage, Rankel escapes Arkham Asylum and begins a new killing spree with two manipulated thugs, torturing, raping, and killing 25 women, even filming some of their deaths and sending it to the GCPD to taunt them. Rankel plans to kill Batman then betray Joker and collect the reward money and the fame all for himself, bragging all the way of how much he loves hurting others, and how prideful he is in his evil deeds.
- Arkham Asylum: Living Hell: Daedalus "Doodlebug" Boch is a Mad Artist who killed and mutilated many people across Gotham, using their blood to paint massive murals. During his later escape of Arkham Asylum, Boch kills his longtime cellmate, Junkyard Dog, and allies with the demonic forces seeking to bring Hell on Earth. Boch begins sacrificing every prisoner and guard in the Asylum to the forces of Hell, condemning them to a burning torment while he plans to finish his artistic "vision"—even if it means dooming humankind.
- Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) & Streets of Gotham (primarily): This incarnation of Dr. Karl Hellfern, aka Dr. Death, starts off as a chemist who worked for Elliot Pharmaceuticals and secretly cut heroin for gangster Salvatore "Sallie" Guzzo. Hellfern is hired by Guzzo and his associate Judson Pierce to help destroy Leslie Thompkins's clinic that helps the poor, with the gangsters wanting the land the clinic is on. Hellfern develops a deadly virus and infects a rat with it. When a local kid is caught spying on Hellfern, Hellfern has the rat bite the boy and drops him off in front of the clinic, hoping to infect everyone there. After that scheme, Hellfern is arrested and turns state's evidence against Pierce. Hellfern decides to become a supervillain and renames himself Dr. Death, and decides to sell his services to the highest bidder. He agrees to work for the dictator of the small post-Soviet country Tarakstan. Dr. Death demonstrates a poison that will kill people and turn the bodies in oil, by exposing several captured civilians to it. When rebels attack the government lab Dr. Death is operating at, Dr. Death plans to release his poison on the rebels and he has the rest of the civilians he was imprisoned in his lab as test subjects released on to the battlefield, so they can die as well. Dr. Death later engages in a scheme to steal corpses across Gotham, turning them into a designer drug called Soul, which often turns its users into violent maniacs for a short period of time, causing chaos across Gotham City.
- Grant Morrison's Batman: Dr. Simon Hurt, born Thomas Wayne centuries past, was a devil worshipper who gained immortality when resorting to blood sacrifice to summon demons, instead linking himself with the Hyper-Adapter. Using sacrifice to keep himself alive through centuries, Hurt developed a dark fixation on Bruce Wayne with his obsession to prove that evil could always overcome good. He created the Black Glove, a shadowy evil council dedicated to spreading evil and bloodshed throughout the world. Hurt sought to break Bruce Wayne psychologically, even having him buried without oxygen to permanently damage his mind and shatter him into Hurt's slave. Defeated, Hurt established himself in Mexico as a drug lord known as El Penitente where he financed dark experiments from Professor Pyg that destroyed countless minds, even having a noble opponent of the Cartels turned into a cannibalistic monster who killed his own family. Sacrificing his followers without a second thought, Hurt returned to Gotham intending on spreading the poisons he had developed throughout the city, turning everyone there into a violent monster who would fall upon one another, allowing Hurt to rule over an empire of evil at last.

I do want to add something to YMMV.Pokemon Sword And Shield, even with the lock remaining:
Author's Saving Throw: While the Regional Variant concept was well received in its debut in Pokémon Sun and Moon, many weren't happy that the Alolan Forms were limited to Pokémon originating in Pokémon Red and Blue. This game rectifies that by giving Galarian Forms to Pokemon from other generations, and some, like Galarian Linoone, even get entirely new evolutions.

~StFan, the video examples will have to be re-uploaded. May want to reach out to the original troper who added them, TrendingToon1.
Done to here otherwise.
Not sure if this is the right question, but when can we expect the YMMV.Pokemon Swordand Shield page to unlock, if it even does? The game has been officially released now, though maybe it could still be too soon to prevent vandalization.
Hard to predict that kind of thing. We've had similar locks go either ways.
Trailers for Crisis on Infinite Earths (2019) have already been released, which was the condition given to unlock the page. Now that there is more content to add, the page could be unlocked.
~DoctorCooper, done, after having verified there's a release date as well. I'd keep the clean-up thread in mind, as just because it can be created, doesn't mean it can't be cut again if the tropes written don't meet standards.
Please cut the Demon Legacy examples from Video Games.
I'm Sad Frogerson.
NighmareFuel.Is is leaving a ghost wick for Complete Monster. Can I request a cut?

Also I slipped up on the last sentence of my Soon I Will be Invincible entry. On Literature, please change it to:
"Stopped only by the sudden intervention of his ex-girlfriend, Impossible nevertheless remains undaunted and finishes the book with plotting yet another daring plan to escape and resume scheming for World Domination."
It is now 12:00 AM on November 15, 2019 in Australia, so the games have officially launched and as such I would like to request that Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon: Generation VIII Families be unlocked.
