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. The Complete Monster and Magnificent Bastard tropes aren't currently adding or removing examples. Wick changes and other minor corrections to the locked trope pages can be made via this thread, but more significant changes will be declined.
  9. 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.

The breast index I talked about earlier is now live at The World's Breast Tropes. Lock away, and add this to Administrivia.Locked Pages:

  • The World's Breast Tropes: An index categorizing various breast tropes. Originally located at Keep Abreast Of This Index, it was cut during the initial 5P purge, but was much later recreated here. It's still locked to stop any potential trouble with the content policy.

- nombretomado Thanks for bringing into the attention on this, but we should keep a close eye on this. If anyone tries to vandalize J.K. Rowling's page, it should be an immediate lock.

EDIT: I've also added a Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment as a comment in her page in case if anyone tries to edit her page in any form.

@nombretomado: Sorry for misunderstanding and for the late reply. The past week or so was kinda hectic for me. Anyway, I see that you already went ahead and did it. Thanks, though the correct namespace for Mandy Moore is "Music/" (see the entry itself).

From Zero to Hero has been launched, and I accidentally discovered that Zero to Hero exists- as a redirect for Training Montage. I'd like to request it be redirected to From Zero to Hero instead; there's only 15 wicks for it and a quick perusal of them implies they're used as a stand in for the new trope, not Training Montage, and the names are so similar people could end up using Zero to Hero by mistake (which I did).

[up] I know, but I figured we'd still need permission first to change redirects since we need permission to make redirects in the first place. When I wanted to have Battle of the Sexes redirect to Girls vs. Boys Plot rather than Mars and Venus Gender Contrast, I asked here.

At Dungeons & Dragons, for other settings, a slight correction:

Ptolus

  • Ghul, the Half-God, pretended to be the half-demon son of the previous villain in order to establish a base of power he called Goth Gulgamel in the great spire. Taking the name the Skull King, Ghul conducted horrible experiments to create and breed an army, while sacrificing children to desecrate his temples, imprisoning the souls of unborn babies as well to experiment on and trap eternally. Unleashing his armies, the Shrieking Hordes, in the Ghulwar to raze entire lands and murder countless innocents, Ghul held a special hatred for elves, many of whom were tortured to death in his dungeons. Some were twisted and turned into darker beings known as Harrow Elves, whom Ghul spared solely for the dark joy of seeing the devastation their new lives gave them. Upon being pushed back, Ghul later unleashed a brutal winter to freeze and starve many innocents to death, being remembered, for good reason, as one of the worst villains in the history of the world.

For the Hollow Knight entry in the Complete Monster subpage, please change the Macabre Moth Motif pothole in The Radiance’s name to Moth Menace, which is the actual trope for a villainous/antagonistic moth.

Also can these three videos go up on Magnificent Bastard:

"Cobra Commander assumes control of the White House and demonstrates his might in one fell swoop."

"Killinger demonstrates why he is the top dog."

"General Timothy Treister invented the secret keeping business."

The first should also go on G.I. Joe and the latter two on Western Animation. Thanks!

At Complete Monster: Please add this to Anime and Manga:

"Farewell, Ichigo. From this moment on I no longer have any need for you or my children, the Sternritters. Just sit back and watch from there as I bring ruin to it all, Soul Society and the Human World. It's rather insulting, having these insignificant pests come after me in droves. With your bodies on the brink of exhaustion, I be amazed if you could take even one more step from there. But if you truly wish to come for my head, then by all means, please do. I shall leave this gate open for all of you, and if any of you do wish to pass through, then in light of your exceptional spirit and fortitude, I shall bestow upon you a most extravagant and luxurious death. For I shall find the future, that one moment where each of you feel the greatest amount of joy and happiness, and it is there, I shall slaughter you. So from this point forward, every time you indulge in your own happiness, you shall think of my words. And in that moment, when you do, you will remember my looming shadow, the terror of death I now promise you. For all eternity."
Yhwach setting out to destroy existence, Bleach

At Live-Action TV, please pothole Shao Kahn's name to Mortal Kombat – Shao Kahn and Kilgrave's name to MCU: Kilgrave, and add this quote between Gregor's quotes:

King Joffrey Baratheon: Robb Stark is dead. (chuckles) And his bitch mother! Write back to Lord Frey. Thank him for his service and command him to send Robb Stark's head. I'm going to serve it to Sansa at my wedding feast.
Lord Varys: Your Grace, Lady Sansa is your aunt, by marriage.
Queen Cersei Lannister: A joke! Joffrey did not mean it.
Joffrey: Yes, I did. I'm going to have it served to Sansa at my wedding feast.
Lord Tyrion Lannister: No. She is no longer yours to torment.
Joffrey: Everyone is mine to torment. You'd do well to remember that, you little monster.

For Video Games:

"Breathe deeply in your final moments, Chosen One. For now your existence ends in shame! All the power that was once yours is mine...Forever."
Shang Tsung, before stealing Fire God Liu Kang's soul in the evil ending, Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath

Hi, I'm trying to move a Recap page for the Odd Squad episode "Trials and Tubulations" and create a redirect. It's meant to go to Odd Squad S 1 E 29 Trials And Tubulations, with the "a" in "and" capitalized, but I put the redirect into the old page (with the "a" in lowercase) a little too early, and it redirects to the old version. Fiddling around with it just causes Firefox to tell me that "the page isn't redirecting properly".

Is there a way for a mod to "pry apart" these two pages somehow, so I can do the redirect process correctly the next time? Or can a mod lock/delete the old version's page?

These are the two links:

Odd Squad S 1 E 29 Trialsand Tubulations (old version) Odd Squad S 1 E 29 Trials And Tubulations (desired new version)

[up][up]Due to the way wikiwords work, those are actually the same page. You can't redirect from one to the other because that means the page redirects to itself.

For this, Pages In Accidentally Miscapitalised Namespaces is what you want.

~MasterN, you're going to need to specify the exact subpage of Complete Monster.

~43110, I'm kind of reticent to take ownership of adding those videos. Can't really think of any other way around it, though. At the very least, that first video exceeds the 2.30-minute cap by a few seconds.
