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.

Dangerously Short Skirt

  • Daizee Haze's "skirts" tend to be shorter than her Modesty Shorts. This is also true of her protege Veda Scott.
  • Black Rose has her own "brand" of such "skirts" with more fabric along the top but less around the frills. This is also true of her protege Red Velvett.

Fallen Creator:

  • In addition, ''Glassland'''s "good" characters were actually just as amoral as Halsey, causing severe MoralMyopia as they lectured her and heaped humiliating punishments. Thus the sequel book, ''Literature/HaloTheThursdayWar'', attempted several {{Authors Saving Throw}}s to try to rectify the hypocrisy, and [[WriterRevolt 343 Industries itself]] turned ''Glassland'''s protagonist into a BiggerBad.

Please change to the following:

  • In addition, ''Glassland'''s "[[DesignatedHero good]]" characters were actually just as amoral as Halsey, causing severe MoralDissonance as they lectured her and heaped humiliating punishments. Thus the sequel book, ''Literature/HaloTheThursdayWar'', attempted several {{Authors Saving Throw}}s to try to rectify the hypocrisy, and [[WriterRevolt 343 Industries itself]] turned ''Glassland'''s protagonist into a villain.

Moral Myopia is about intentionally unsympathetic hypocrisy and this says it's unintentional. Bigger Bad is a cut trope and it doesn't give the context to tell if it's replacement Greater-Scope Villain applies here.

Relating to the former, please add this to Square Peg, Round Trope as it's a common misuse:

  • MoralMyopia is ofter applied to any moments of {{hypocri|te}}sy. It's only for intentional hypocrisies used to establish a character as unsympathetic or in the wrong. Unintentional examples due to bad writing go under MoralDissonance.

[up] Might want to hold off on that, on the off chance that what you're actually looking for is the trope we're retooling Those Two Bad Guys to be. IDK what the context is, but we're retooling the first trope to be about the stereotypical bumbling minion duo, so if that's what you're aiming for, hold off for a minute until we actually start the renaming process.

If it is Evil Duo you want, however, carry on.

Nah, because it seems Mortlake and Colton are the Co-Dragons. Maybe just leave it unpotholed for now? Yeah, I'm thinking that may be best. Also, cut the More than Mind Control pothole too please.

~nombretomado suggested I post this here (originally posted on the Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests ) for vetting:

For Final Fantasy VII Remake:

  • Absurdly Sharp Blade: In the Theme Song Trailer, Sephiroth effortlessly cuts through a metal catwalk with his Masamune — a nodachi longer than he is tall.

  • Adaptation Name Change: Don Corneo's pet monster was named "Aps" in the original version of Final Fantasy VII, but is shown in the playable demo to have been renamed Abzu in the remake.

  • Badass Biker: One of the new characters is Roche, a renegade SOLDIER 3rd Class obsessed with motorcycles, high speeds, and battling strong opponents — earning him the nickname "Speed Demon". In the Theme Song Trailer, he is shown picking a fight with both Shinra's grunts and Avalanche, and is particularly interested in duelling Cloud.
    Roche: Hahahahaha! Aren't we havin' a wonderful time kickin' the hornet's nest! You know what I want... a second dance. Just the two of us...

  • Blade Lock: In the Theme Song Trailer, Cloud is shown leaping at Sephiroth with his Buster Sword in an attempt to cut him in half, only for Sephiroth to nonchalantly block his attack with the Masamune as a Mythology Gag to the beginning of their duel in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: President Shinra, CEO of the Shinra Electric Power Company, is shown in the Theme Song Trailer and Twitter posts to be a greedy and ruthless tyrant who rules over Midgar through fear, crushing those who oppose him with his corporation's private army and the Turks.

  • The Don: The Theme Song Trailer shows off Don Corneo, a lecherous crime-lord in Sector 6's slums who takes a new woman as his "bride" each night before feeding them to his pet monster Abzu when he's done having his way with them.

  • Hopeless Suitor: In the playable demo, Jessie quickly establishes that she finds Cloud very attractive and flirts with him throughout the bombing mission, but he either ignores her comments or responds with annoyance.

  • Humanoid Abomination: The Theme Song Trailer shows off some glimpses of Jenova, a planet-eating alien entity that manifests as a female-looking humanoid. One of her more monstrous boss forms is shown at the end of the trailer as well.

  • Left the Background Music On: In the opening cutscene of the playable demo, while Aerith is crouched in an alley examining a broken mako pipe, an eerie female voice interjects into the background music singing "Estuans Interius",note  and she is visibly alarmed and looks around before hurriedly exiting the alley.

  • Mad Scientist: The Theme Song Trailer shows off Professor Hojo, the head of the Shinra Corporation's Science Research Division and mastermind behind the SOLDIER Program, observing Cloud's interactions with Sephiroth and gleefully stating that his Reunion Theory hypothesis has been proven correct.

  • Middle-Management Mook: The Theme Song Trailer introduces several of Shinra's department heads, most of whom are ruthlessly ambitious and cruel:
    • Heidegger — the Shinra Company's Head of Public Safety (read: the military) — is shown advocating for the use of extreme force against Avalanche and disparaging his more benevolent colleague Reeve for protesting the civilian casualties that would ensue.
    • Scarlet — the Shinra Company's sadistic Head of Weapons Development — is shown forcing a Shinra grunt to serve as a footstool while she reclines in an opulent chair.
    • Palmer — the head of the Shinra Company's space program — is shown gushing about how much he loves to put butter in his tea.
    • Professor Hojo — the head of the Shinra Corporation's Science Research Division — is stated on the game's Twitter page to have no regard for human life in his highly unethical experiments, and is shown spying on Cloud following his brief clash with Sephiroth and gleefully remarking that his hypothesis has been proven correct.

  • Skull for a Head: A Freeze-Frame Bonus glimpse of Jenova's boss form in the Theme Song Trailer shows her face is a fanged skull with sunken eyes.

  • Snark-to-Snark Combat: In the playable demo, Cloud and Barrett spend most of the opening mission trading barbed comments, with Barrett growing increasingly frustrated and angry at Cloud's callous and disdainful attitude towards the Planet's suffering.

  • Sword Drag: When Roche challenges Cloud to a duel in the Theme Song Trailer, he's shown dragging his longsword along the ground.

Context for Dangerously Short Skirt in that I want you to change

* Daizee Haze's "skirts" tend to be shorter than her Modesty Shorts.

to

* Daizee Haze's "skirts" tend to be shorter than her Modesty Shorts. This is also true of her protege Veda Scott.

As well as add

* Black Rose has her own "brand" of such "skirts" with more fabric along the top but less around the frills. This is also true of her protege Red Velvett.

That kind of context? I thought what I requested was consistent with what was already in the page's pro wrestling folder, which the namespaces would point to. But if I supposed you could change the entire folder to something like

  • "El Nuevo Exotico" Maximo competes in a piece of fabric that could charitably be called a skirt. It mainly serves to draw attention to his crotch.
  • The "skirts" Daizee Haze wrestles in tend to be shorter than her Modesty Shorts. This is also true of her protege Veda Scott.
  • Black Rose wrestles in her own "brand" of such "skirts" with more fabric along the top but less around the frills. This is also true of her protege Red Velvett.
