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.

Fetish Fuel underwent a clean-up some time ago to de-wick it across the site. However, the locked pages were never dealt with.

Please can the Fetish Fuel potholes or links be removed or broken in the following locked pages?

There are several "Archive / Made of Win" pages with conversations using the trope links as well, but I don't know if they'd be cleaned as well. They look like they'd be quite messy to have to clean due the way the trope is sprinkled throughout conversations, so I haven't listed them here.

I've never really made a request like this before, so I'm not sure if you need further information than just the pages to look in for the link. Let me know if you do.

Quick unlock requests:

  • HoYay.Puella Magi Madoka Magica has been locked since April 2017 due to a particularly persistent ban evader. However, given that it's been 3 years since then, it may be a good idea to check and see if he's caused trouble recently. If not, we could potentially release this.

  • Literature.The Vampire Diaries,Characters.The Vampire Diaries, and Series.The Vampire Diaries: Locked since 2013, 2014, and 2013 respectively. It was due to a ton of ZCE disasters, but it's been a while since then and the wiki has generally gotten better about this kind of stuff. This should be okay to release unless some other factor prevents it.

And an update to one page on Locked Pages:

  • Webcomic.The Easy Breather: Locked to stop an edit war between the webcomic's fans and haters, and because of pervasive nudity in the strip itself.

Webcomic.The Easy Breather:

Add a "LOL69" entry that duplicates the text of the "HehHehYouSaidX" entry? I can't think of how to really make it different...

"PattyMaloney" to "Creator/PattyMaloney"

At DC Universe, for New 52, please cut Volthoom (Green Lantern), and add the following:

  • DC Universe Presents: Tobias Whale and Nebiros are a crime lord and a demon, respectively, with Whale summoning Nebiros by sacrificing the soul of one minion. Bargaining with Nebiros, the two flood the streets with deadly drugs that kill the users and reap many souls for Nebiros to take as his own. Seeking to lure in Black Lightning, Whale kidnaps his father to set a trap with Nebiros before trying to kill the man, while Nebiros gleefully attempts to tear Blue Devil apart and reclaim his power before they corner the market in drugs and souls alike.
  • Justice League United: Byth Rok runs a cult where he has the parts and DNA of sentients harvested to create the boy known as Ultra. Cruelly manipulating Ultra to turn him into the monstrous Infinitus, Byth has him strike out against all he trusted before intending on using Infinitus to wipe out all existence. Plotting to destroy Ultra's mind, Byth intends to use Infinitus to erase reality and give him its power so he may recreate everything as its god.

Chill Manor as a redirect for I. M. Meen, please? CM is the sequel to IMM, and the trope page contains entries for both games, although there doesn't seem to be a name for the series overall.

[down]Weird. According to the edit history, you were there first. I guess edit locks don't take effect on not-yet-created pages?

Made the redirect.

Should Main.Emergence be a disambiguation page or does the auto-disambig catch everything?

With this please:

  • Put one and two on Anime & Manga (one is a rewrite);
  • Three-six go on Film in Live Action;
  • Seven-ten for Literature (seven is a rewrite, the other three are a Sherlock Holmes tree replacing the existing lone entries);
  • Eleven-14 go on Live-Action TV, with 12-14 replacing the current Strike Back tree;
  • 15 and 16 should be a subtree replacing the current Darth Vader entry on Star Wars in the Comic folder;
  • 17 goes on Video Games;
  • 18 (and the Multimedia section heading) go at the bottom of Fan Works;
  • 19 (and the section that's with it) go on Other Media.

Also please cut the Daredevil: Guardian Devil entry at Comic Books.

Thank you!

Requesting a lock to The Last of Us Part II and its respective pages due to edit wars occurring over the leaked information. I've added warnings not to add the leaked info, but I'm not sure how long it will hold out.
