Private Dick, Family Man
Why is this page still locked when they haven't been relevant since 2011? (still like the guys though)
This post was originally asking why the page is locked. Then I browsed around for a while and I eventually answered my own question.
But it's lame, because now I can't add any new examples to the page or anything. D:

There is a Beyond the Impossible wick on this page that is incorrect. The trope has since been redefined to 'breaking internal logic' i.e. impossible in that setting.

It used to be Self-Demonstrating but that got out of control.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
Talking about fixing examples, can someone fix the Schmuck Bait entry?
You can go here
and write it up properly so that the mods can swap in your fixed version.
Migrated to Tropers/ChloeJessica!
The Cargo Ship entry needs to be removed. The line in question says "you can tell by my turtleneck and chain that I bone", indicating one can tell that the crew is Pretty Fly for a White Guy, not that they bone their turtlenecks.
Migrated to Chloe Jessica!
This is the only entry in the Comedy/Novelty section of the Musicians index that I couldn't move to the Music/ namespace, due to the article being locked.
Not dead yet.
I removed that...thing because none of it is related to any tropes in particular. Please keep that in mind when editing the article. Thanks.

Heh, I wish.
No, Fast Eddie cut the article for some reason. You could try asking about it on Ask The Tropers, if you're curious (I'm not).
Wait, it's locked too? Or did I just not notice that last week?
This place is careless.
its all on Ask The Tropers, but long story short it was a pit of obscenities and injokes. If a version of it without the swearing, memes, and fan-injokes can be worked out Fast Eddie will put that page but it'll still be locked.

You mean the "if I had actually read the article, I'd actually see the obscenities were kept off to the bottom and the in-jokes get explained" pit?
In any case, here's a link to Fast Eddie's requested sandbox upload: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=i8uor2qhs54fh07tkxkxpktr&page=66#1636
So is this the first page to ever return from the Permanent Red Link Club?
Is this page ever going to be unlocked? I found several tropes I could add if it was.

Excuse Plot needs to be moved to main as it's an invoked trope.
"Excuse Plot: "Japan" was written for the express purpose of letting the trio get a vacation in Japan and spend as much of Universal's money as possible."
Major unlockage needs to start now. Page wants updating for tropes that appear in Motherlover and 3-Way (The Golen Rule). Also need to add Gaga to the list of cameos. We're big boys and girls here, we can watch the page for rampant swearing and too many in-jokes.
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=gsjp7dldjh2dwdelcha2hu17&page=30 Go here to request page edits to a locked page, Fighteer is refusing to completely unlock.
If you ask me, there needs to be less page fixing and more site fixing.
