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.

~ACW, novellas get italics if they're published on their own, quotation marks if it's part of a collection. Clarify?

~lizardgai4, the first doesn't seem clear enough, and the second is unnecessary and doesn't improve searchability.

Done to here otherwise.

Could we create Shoulder Angel, Shoulder Devil, and/or Shoulder Angel and Shoulder Devil, as redirects to Good Angel, Bad Angel? Or would that be a bad idea for some reason? The term "shoulder angel" seems to be fairly well-known at this point; in fact, I'd argue it's easier to understand than "Good Angel, Bad Angel", which might refer to angels in general without a personal-conscience element.

On UsefulNotes.Osama Bin Laden, please delete the trope list between the description and his list of fictional appearances. I'm sure that Useful Notes pages about real life figures should not have tropes applied to the real figures.

Please add this to Gor:

  • Self-Punishment Over Failure: In Explorers of Gor, we see a trial conducted by jungle emperor Bila Huruma.
    Two murderers were next brought to him for sentencing...The second, an askari, had killed another askari...The askari was ordered to be speared to death by one of his own kin. In this fashion his honor would be protected and there would be no beginning of a possible blood feud between families. The askari petitioned, however, to be permitted to die instead fighting the enemies of the ubarate. This petition was denied on the grounds that he had, by slaying his comrade, not permitted this same privilege to him. This judgment was accepted unquestioningly by the askari. "But am I not of my own kin, my [Lord]?" he asked. "Yes," had said Bila Huruma. He was taken outside. He would be given a short-handled stabbing spear and would be permitted to throw himself upon it.

Excuse me, but the Team RWBY character page has been locked longer then it needed to be and is in need of a lot of updates. I can not list every update needed, but the page has been locked ever since Volume 6 ended and Volume 7 has ended and it feels like the page has been practically abandoned. I do not mean to sound mean or judgmental I just realize that page does need so updates.

On Fallen Creator for Michael Eisner's entry, the phrase "a $38 million dollar severance" is redundant and the "dollar" can be dropped from that sentence.

On Star Trek please remove the bolded part. It was discussed here

  • Q is a clever transcendent being who masquerades as a rambunctious psychopath, and tries to join the Enterprise Crew after being kicked out of the Q Continuum, demonstrating his powers by teleporting the Enterprise across the galaxy. Forcing the Enterprise to confront the terrifying Borg and for Jean-Luc Picard to beg for Q's help, Q saves them out of respect for Picard's humility. After the Q Continuum strips him of his powers, Q asked to be teleported to the Enterprise, knowing that Picard's nobility will force Picard to protect him against his various enemies. After regaining his powers Q uses his gifts on Picard to let him change his past so a series of events will allow him to avoid an untimely death, though at the cost of not being as highly-promoted within the Federation, in order to teach him the importance of learning from mistakes and taking risks. In his final appearance in the series, Q is tasked by the Continuum to destroy humanity, but Q does so in a way that Picard can prevent, where Picard creates a Time Paradox when Q shifts him through time and Q provides hints to Picard to resolve the paradox and save humanity.

Slight rewrite for In Death:

  • Apprentice in Death: Willow Mackie, a 15-year-old who loves being the center of attention, is responsible for 25 deaths and scores more wounded. Willow's father, former NYPSD sniper Reginald Mackie, is distraught and starts taking drugs when his second wife, Willow's stepmother, is killed in an accident. Willow, supposedly to help her father but really because she thrives on attention, formulates a plan whereby the Mackies target those supposedly responsible for his ex's death. With Reginald having trained her and assisting, Willow uses a laser rifle to first kill 3 people including a target; then 4 people including a second target, witha fifth victim wounded; and then, even after Reginald was captured, Willow by herself executes a mass shooting at Madison Square Garden, killing 18 people including a third target, and wounding dozens. Willow's cruelty isn't limited to the sniping, as she torments—and eventually plans to kill—her stepfather, own mother, and 7-year-old half-brother, whose dog she had killed. Willow has others she plans to kill, and eventually plans to hit her high school and kill at least 100 there and in the surrounding area, making history.

Done to here save for the Everything's Worse with Snowclones request as there is opposition and the edit request does not seem to serve an useful purpose. Killjoy edits are bad.

I've put UsefulNotes.Osama Bin Laden's examples on the discussion page. ~jdixon0151, the lock reason on Characters.RWBY Team RWBY is "persisting shipping wars", are they resolved now? ~Psychotic Ranger 4567, probably best that you start a discussion in the Image Picking forum about that. ~Serac, I've removed the severance sentence wholesale. ~Plasma Power, a little uneasy about that addition; the page was locked specifically to keep the controversy out.

Can Black Eyes get its image removed since it's no longer a trope? Also it can probably get unlocked now since there is no chance of anyone trying to bringing it back after it's been a disambig for years now.

I suggest these edits to the Sword Art Online Complete Monster page

    edits 
  • Vassago Cassals/PoH (short for Prince of Hell) was forced to become a criminal due to unfortunate conditions, but he proved his vileness by willingly becoming an assassin and murderer. Entering SAO to kill a target, Vassago become the founder of the aforementioned Laughing Coffin guild, where he rallied together the worst of those trapped in the game-—including the aforementioned XaXa and Johnny Black—and had them slaughter their fellow players, all for the joy of seeing East Asian players kill each other. Later betraying and abandoning his own Guild to die, Vassago corrupted other players and sent them to kill those who had participated in the Laughing Coffin's downfall. Returning in Alicization as a member of Glowgen Defence Systems, Vassago becomes Gabriel Miller's right hand, leading his invasion to the Human Territory, killing dozens of sentient AIs. When Japanese players appear to try to contain the invasion, Vassago contacts unaware players from China and Korea, lies to them about the situation and connects them to the Undeworld to enjoy the mutual violence and causing as much pain as he can. Finding a comatose Kirito, Vassago beats him and promises to torture his lover and friends to death until he fights him while using the energy from the death and suffering of sentient beings to empower his weapon. A sadistic murderer, Vassago proves his sheer vileness by always taking bad situations and making them worse for his own amusement.
  • Gabriel Miller/Subtilizerpsychotic even as a child, is the boss of Glowgen Defense Systems. Managing to assault the Ocean Turtle and enter into the Underworld in the super-account of Vecta, God of Darkness, he intends on capturing the only fully-developed Artificial Fluctlight and brainwash her into be his submissive wife and "start a new life in a new world". With his new godlike powers, Gabriel turns the turbulent Seven Lords Assembly of the Dark Territory into his personal dictatorship, taking advantage of the flaws in the data of the habitats, who are forced to follow the "rule of the strongest". When the wall of the Human Empire collapses, Gabriel leads the invasion, using risk strategies, causing unnecessary deaths on his own side, as he believes that their sheer numbers and experience of his side are the only things he needs to win, going so far to use eventually using members of his own army as Demihuman sacrifices to empower his sorceress Dee Eye El. Contacting his allies in the Real World, Gabriel summons hundreds of unaware players that kill several AIs believing that they were inside just another game. "Dying" after forcing Bercouli to sacrifice his own life, Gabriel returns with his GGO account Subtilizer and mocks his sacrifice before fighting Kirito and torturing him. him. A cold sociopath, Gabriel goes so far as to think of the possibility of destroying the Underworld and killing every AI in it after his victory.

Done to here and took the opportunity to remove some wicks Black Eyes had accumulated. I've done an edit to Everything's Worse with Snowclones to account for the name change.

~Tehrannotaur: Were these edits cleared with the Complete Monster cleanup topic, or are they just trivial grammar fixes.

Viz Characters.RWBY Team RWBY: ~Jdixon0151, per nombretomado's concerns we can't unlock that page. If a mass update is needed, you could write it up at Sandbox.RWBY Team RWBY and ask us to swap it in.

Septimus Heap, I understand how you feel. I was just wondering if this was just written in a way that's not very safe at all. I know that OBC is a valid reaction for this page because OvershadowedByControversy.Channel Awesome also has an entry on Justin, just a lot more wordy and in depth than the entry I proposed.
