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.

On Laconic.Magnificent Bastard, please remove the chained sinkholes to Anti-Hero and Anti-Villain.

To specify, the tropes are potholed like this: morally gray.

Can these quotes also go here:

Luther Sloan: "How many lives do you suppose you've saved in your medical career?"
Julian Bashir: "What has that got to do with anything?"
Sloan: "Hundreds? Thousands? Do you suppose those people give a damn that you lied to get in Starfleet Medical? I doubt it. We deal with threats to the Federation that jeopardize its very survival. If you knew how many lives we've saved, I think you'd agree that the ends do justify the means. I'm not afraid of bending the rules every once in a while if the situation warrants it. And I don't think you are either. In time you will agree with me."

"The Federation needs men like you, doctor. Men of conscience, men of principle... men who can sleep at night. You're also the reason Section 31 exists. Someone has to protect men like you from a universe that doesn't share your sense of right and wrong."

And these entries replace the Farscape one on Live-Action TV?:

  • Farscape:
    • Scorpius was once a nameless child born of a twisted breeding experiment by the Scarrans who schemed his way to freedom and murdered his abusive caretaker Tauza. After finding out about the horrific circumstances of his birth via the rape of his mother by a Scarran soldier, Scorpius dedicated himself to destroying the Scarrans in retribution. Becoming a top officer in the normally fiercely xenophobic Peacekeeper armada, Scorpius tries to hunt down the Wormhole technology in hero John Crichton's head, constantly manipulating others to his ends, using and betraying others in his way and destroying his enemies while the crew of Moya barely remains a step ahead of him, proving himself the single most brilliant and dangerous enemy John has ever faced who will stop at nothing in pursuit of his goals to destroy the Scarrans.
    • Rygel XVI was Dominar of the Hynerian Empire, ruler of over six hundred billion subjects, before he was deposed by his cousin and spent over a hundred cycles in Peacekeeper captivity. He masterminded the prison break aboard Moya, and never lets the others forget it. While he's frequently dismissed by the rest of the crew due to his diminutive stature, relentless greed and self-absorption, Rygel is intelligent, cunning, a competent negotiator and statesman, and can be surprisingly violent when the situation demands it. While he makes no secret of the fact that he's out for himself first, neither will he betray the crew for no reason — as he's smart enough to know they're helpful allies, and he has to be fairly certain he'll actually profit from turning on them. If there's nothing to be gained by working against them, he'll have a flawless scheme up his sleeve to protect them. As the series goes on and Character Development sets in, Rygel lets his genuine care and love for Moya and his friends show more often, but never loses his capacity for brilliant scheming and brutal violence as needed. In "I-Yensch, You-Yensch" he becomes one of very few to cross wits with Scorpius and come out on top.

Thank you.

[down] Got it.

At 2000 AD, you should probably add !!Other examples after the Dredd thing.

Also, two more for Complete Monster. First Tabletop Games, second Video Games.

"It is done. Hear me, Children of Adam. I command-"
The Arch-Usurper's voice chokes off in a gurgle. His body twitches, swells and churns as eyes, mouths, tentacles and other organs erupt from his flesh and sink back in again. Amid all the changes, he laughs a deep, ugly laugh. The characters cannot move; they cannot sense their own bodies in their millionfold view of the world. "Be of me," the Tremere-Thing says, and the characters see the flesh of millions of people ripple and flow in response. Kindred, kine and other, their skin splits apart to release a large, slimy, chitinous creature - part insect, part reptile and all nightmare; characters may recognize it as the Horrid Form of Vicissitude. Some mortals and supernatural part-humans resist the worldwide contagion, but they are a small minority. [...]
The Tzimisce Antediluvian has made its masterstroke. All is Tzimisce.

This is kind of nitpicky, but for the "Gratuitous profanity" entry on Word Cruft, can we please move "f***ing" to before "necessary"? I just feel like no real person in a real swearing fit would say "f-ing emphasize..." like that. It sounds stilted. "F-ing necessary" sounds more natural.

Would it be a terrible idea to add the following image links to an image link page for Kim Kardashian as a joke, and only fill it with pictures which are as unflattering and inoffensive as possible, keeping it locked?

A potential header if that works: If you want risque pics of some LA lawyer's daughter, look elsewhere.

Please put this on Other Media, in the Dungeons & Dragons tree under Critical Role:

  • Assassin, hosted by Neal "Koibu" Erickson: The eponymous Assassin, as played by Robert Barrera, is the most skilled agent in the Cult of Malkis, dedicated to spreading chaos to prevent societal corruption and stagnation. A skilled actor and musician, the Assassin disguises himself as a traveling bard to avoid suspicion and uses his trained charisma and countless guises to gather all the information he needs to perform his hits. His brilliance is shown through such hits as getting thrown in jail as a drunk to murder his currently arrested target, tricking local guards to kill his target after framing them for murder, and disgracing and drowning a cleric and making it look like a suicide. Even when tasked with "sending a message", he does his job well by massacring an ambassador's caravan and framing another nation or burning down an inn with a paladin inside after publicly shaming her. Despite his often cruel methods and willingness to kill innocents during his missions, the Assassin is still shown to have humanity through his interactions with children and his pet cat.

Thanks!
