Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

Please add Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic to Permanent Red Link Club, under "Overly Controversial Pages/Soapboxes": Major ROCEJ violation that caused scrutiny of the whole Conspiracy Theories page.

Can the following entry be rewritten on the Characters.RWBY Team RWBY page to fix some inaccurate information:

Blake Belladonna's section:

Current entry

• Motive Misidentification: Throughout most of the series, she believes that Adam, despite having been one of the leaders in the coup that turned the White Fang into a terrorist organization, shares her idealism for a world where humans and Faunus peacefully co-exist, and even though she ultimately left the organization for his extremism, she still believes that he's just gone too far in pursuit of a noble goal. It isn't until the very end of Volume 3 that Blake realizes that Adam never shared her dream, which he believes impossible, and merely wants to wipe out the human race completely... starting with everyone Blake loves and cares about to punish her for abandoning the White Fang.

Please replace with the following:

• Motive Misidentification: Blake originally believes that Adam shares her idealism for a world where humans and Faunus peacefully co-exist. Although she left the White Fang due to his extremism, she still believes he simply went too far in pursuit of a noble goal and describes him thus for the first three volumes. Only at the end of Volume 3 does she learn the truth; Adam declares equality impossible while helping the villains to destroy Beacon Academy and vowing to kill everyone Blake loves for abandoning him. In Volume 5, she describes it to Sun as initially thinking Adam stood for justice or passion until eventually realising he only symbolised spite. In Volume 6, Yang indicates Blake's misidentification was caused by deliberate deceit when she asks Adam if Blake gave her loyalty to him or the person he was pretending to be.

More Locked entries to potentially release:

• Roleplay.Cerberus Daily News: This was locked in August 2015, due to a ban evader constantly vandalising it. However, I'm pretty sure 4.5 years is long enough that we can be reasonably sure that the troll has gotten bored about it.
• LetsPlay.Dark Chaos Comms: Was locked in 2013. Every creator involved stopped uploading a long time ago, and even the channel itself doesn't exist anymore. Maybe launch it to Darth Wiki?
• FanFic.Drunkards Walk: Locked in 2012, after the author blanked it in response to 5P. Not only has it been a long time since then, but I don't think 5P is really that hot of a topic now anyways.
• FanFic.Forbiden Fruit The Tempation Of Edward Cullen: Twilight Badfic that was locked in 2010! I think the Twilight fandom, and the contentcioussness of Twilight fics in particular, has gone down a lot since then. Pretty sure it's safe to unlock now.
• Literature.Maradonia Saga: Objectively bad literature series locked at least since 2011. It is on the Horrible page, but the author of the series relaunched herself under a pseudonym, and the YMMV page has only seen light editing across the most recent years, so maybe this could be released?
• Waggle: Motion controls stopped being relevant years ago. I think this can come off without issue.
• Analysis.Anti Hero: Locked since 2013. It was people constantly misusing the type labels, but its been a long time since then, and the main Anti Hero page has long gone on without much issue.
• Moral Guardians: Has been locked since at least 2013. Apparently it was about an entry regarding TV Tropes itself. I reckon this has to do with 5P. Given that that topic hasn't been controversial in years, I think it might be able to go free.
• The Great Comics Crash of 1996: Has been locked since at least 2014. I can't see the page's history beyond that, so I can't ascertain the nature of the flame war that got it locked. Anyone know?
• The Garbage Pail Kids Movie: Locked since at least 2011. The YMMV page is not locked, and hasn't really been all that active recently, so I think it would be safe to take this page off.

Also, Laconic.Rainbow Speak and Analysis.No More Heroes are not locked; remove them from the Locked Pages list.

Christmas as a redirect to Christmas Tropes?

Edited by Malady on Apr 13th 2020 at 10:18:08 AM

Hiya, with this please:

• Put one and two on Fan Works;
• Three-six on Film;
• Seven-ten to replace the current Dresden tree at Literature;
• Eleven and twelve for Live-Action TV;
• 13-17 on Music and after making the Biggie tree please get rid of the single entry he's got on the 2pac song

Also, at Western Animation, please reformat the Archer tree as it is done at Archer.

Cheers!

• Characters.The Bible: Please remove the following from the Horsemen of the Apocalypse section as Man In White is being cleaned out (now Villain in a White Suit per TRS): "Man In White: The one on the white horse."

I'd argue motion control is still relevant with regard to first/third person shooters on consoles; to the point where at least one game that released without it on the Switch eventually patched it in due to heavy demand.

Edited by homogenized on Apr 12th 2020 at 7:12:22 AM

Move UsefulNotes/JamesTheFirst to UsefulNotes/JamesVIandI, as the Scots deserve representation as well. (Also solves a custom title boondoggle.)

Possibly, but it's far less contentious than it was back in the early 2010's, when it was everywhere and started being perceived as overused. Now game developers generally use motion controls more carefully, and people care about them a lot less. I mean, VR exists, and you don't see flame wars about that, right?

From here:

• Tanaseda goes to Anime & Manga: A to F.
• Keith goes to Anime & Manga: O to Z.

Thanks

Capitalization should be James VI and I.

Please move the Jesus Christ Superstar entry from Other Media to Music and on the Music page please also:

• Change the D.B. Cooper title to: "Chuck Brodsky's "The Ballad of D.B. Cooper" from Tulips for Lunch:";
• Pretty Boy Floyd's title to: "Woody Guthrie's "Pretty Boy Floyd" from Dust Bowl Ballads:"... also please take out "of 'Pretty Boy Floyd"' after "title character";
• Make the title to Mephisto's entry "Kamelot's Epica Album Series:"
• Billy the Kid's title into "Billy Joel's "Ballad of Billy the Kid" from Live In The Studio - Sigma Studios 1972:"
• Anne Bonney's into "Karliene's "Anne Bonney" from Anne Bonney:"
• Oxmo's into "Oxmo Puccino's "Pucc' Fiction (featuring Booba" from L 432:"
• Ol' Red's to "Blake Shelton's "Ol' Red from Blake Shelton:"

Thanks for the reformat!

Please make Socialisation Bonus a redirect to Socialization Bonus (British -> American spelling).

~Synchronicity

Done. There was also a hidden ZCE for that trope as well.

Can we make a redirect from Renaissance Woman to Renaissance Man? The trope is gender-neutral, and while it does have a redirect from polymath, that doesn't have the same connotation.

~Kappaclystica, I'm working my way through various Locked pages and doing some digging to determine whether or not they get unlocked. Moving forward - if I say a general "done (to here)", and you still see a page is locked that you suggested get unlocked, just trust that I've determined we're still under risk. Some of these cases are me checking if problematic editors are still active - or if there have been fairly recent sock attempts.

Edited by nombretomado on Apr 13th 2020 at 3:09:26 AM

Also at Fan Works for the Red World example please tag Bernie Sander's as Bernie Sanders.

~nombretomado Thanks for keeping the wiki's quality intact. I've combed through all the locked pages, and I think these are the last ones that I think could reasonably be released. You shouldn't see mass unlock requests from me for the foreseeable future.

Shaft in Africa to Shaft in Africa and Switchback to Switchback and Slashers to Slashers on Film S To Z please

Edited by jormis29 on Apr 13th 2020 at 10:06:01 PM

Done up to ACW's long list.

~43110, I'm not understanding the formatting logic of MagnificentBastard.Fan Works and therefore can't tell where you want those examples to go. Help me out?

To clarify my latest request, there is a Hearts of Iron Game Mods tree on Fan Works. The fourth and bottom entry on that tree is Red World. I'm asking if Bernie Sander's name can be potholed to Bernie Sanders?

Move Series.WarOfTheWorlds to Series.WarOfTheWorlds1988, because Series.WarOfTheWorlds2019 now exists...

And change the original page to... Either a redirect to Franchise.The War Of The Worlds...

Or some kind of Disambig?

I forget how pages with colons work... "Fanfic/My Little Pirates: Luffy" is making a ghost wick to WomanInWhite...

And I can get an edit page for it with:

...

But I'm not sure if the Cut List can cut it...
