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.

Not sure if the "io" in VideoGame.Nightpointio and VideoGame.Battlepointio should be capitalized somehow...

On Complete Monster, please change [[Manga/SixSixSixSatan O-Parts Hunter]] and link directly to O-Parts Hunter. Also, Monster.Six Six Six Satan makes a ghost wick to 666 Satan.

Per TRS, consensus is to remove Snark Bait from Audience Reactions and add it to Flame Bait. Only the Flame Bait index is locked, but could you please remove it from the Audience Reactions index when adding it to Flame Bait?

Edit: I removed it from Audience Reactions myself, so it just needs to be added to the Flame Bait index.

They don't have to provide it. The Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard threads have never provided reasoning for why they want something deleted. They should just be listened to, and you're probably only concerned now because it involves a show you're a fan of (you have never brought it up before, and you post in this thread frequently). And reasoning can probably be found in their LTP thread anyway.

I'm requesting an unlocking of RWBY's Nightmare Fuel page, or if that's not possible, for a moderator to check the following folder and add it themselves if its deemed as acceptable contento for the page Originally written by Doodler, edited by me.

    Volume 7 

A Night Off

  • Tyrian gleefully massacring the trapped citizens at the rally after Watts turns off the lights, while the Huntsmen are unable to intervene due to the darkness and the panicked civilians blocking them. When the Happy Huntresses try to rally, he sneaks up on Fiona and cuts right through her Aura, nearly gutting her and only sparing Robyn because he needs her alive to frame Penny. Then the lights come back on, revealing a pile of corpses littered across the floor.

Gravity

  • Ironwood gets his arm trapped in a Hard Light barrier by Watts, and when he tries to pull it out, the skin sizzles and burns clean off. Ironwood doesn't let it stop him though, and pulls the entire arm through the barrier, flaying the skin off his entire arm just to get at Watts. And while most of the actual flaying occurs offscreen, the result is shown in full detail.

  • The Seer Grimm bursting out of Watts' bag, curling in on itself, and dying, with the Grimm smoke swirling out into an image of Salem. She coolly explains that all the chaos in Mantle has been merely setting the stage for the final result, and that she is coming to Atlas personally to crush all that's left. When Ruby tries to stand up to her, Salem takes her happy memory of her mother smiling at her and distorts it into a painful one of her mother sadly slipping away (with a horrible screeching sound being used to indicate the manipulation), causing Ruby to lose control of her eyes and then collapse in tears.

  • After Salem's message concludes, Ironwood gets disturbingly calm, then announces his plan to have Winter claim the Maiden power by force and use the Staff to launch Atlas into the upper atmosphere. When Blake protests that he's leaving the thousands of people still trapped in Mantle to die, he calmly answers that yes, he is, with absolutely no remorse. And the Ace Ops all go along with it, with only Marrow showing any conflict.

  • During the entire volume we saw evidence of the flaws within Ironwood's methodology and the suffering it causes to the people of Mantle, as well as his trauma over the fall of Beacon. This episode brings both tendencies to a head, when a glass queen left by Cinder triggers Ironwood's trauma, swiftly destroying the all of the progress achieved during this volume and turning our heroes against each other.

With Friends Like These

  • Clover's death, being impaled by Tyrian usinng Qrow's sword, leaving Qrow to impotently watch as Clover bleeds out.

  • Cinder's entrance to the Winter Maiden's bedroom, with the lightning and sound framing her as something out of a slasher film as she throws a fireball at Winter.

The Enemy of Trust

  • The last time we saw Cinder's Grimm arm, it ended at the middle of her left bicep. Now, it's grown all the way up to her shoulder and exposed all the muscles in it. When Winter cuts it off, Cinder wails in shock....then starts screaming and flailing like a woman possessed while a new arm quickly and painfully emerges from the stump, all on its own.

  • Salem arriving amidst a storm she conjured with a fleet of flying Beringels and a flying whale Grimm the size of Atlas itself. Qrow was not kidding when he said that Salem would not be worried about the Atlesians' "little ships"....they have no chance against her Grimm, and they never did.

[up][up] A handful of those seem to read more like scene summaries and would need to be revised before being submitted. Again, going to the NF Cleanup thread can help with that regard.

I don't think the link to the MB thread should have been provided there. They don't provide links to what discussion leads to deletions, and I don't think we should have made an exception to the process just because someone suddenly wants to know because it's part of their favorite work and wouldn't have given care otherwise. For the record, I like if I get a justification towards something, but it has never been given before here and the entries would just be cut simply because they say so. If he absolutely needed it, he should have just searched the thread himself.

Either the CM and MB threads should start to provide the links to discussions so people know why they should have done so (which I get why they wouldn't do as it's a lot of work), or don't provide them and don't let others do so. Because this kind of sudden exception to a process that has been working for years and disregard towards my post is rather annoying.

Also, regarding YMMV.Death Battle, since the page is locked, does it really need the note to editors at the top?

I was hoping to find something else instead of just more capitalization, but...

Narm.FanFiction, is Miscapitalized, and a Redirect.

Is the proper name, "Fanfic", or "Fanfiction"?
