Moderators ([[Administrivia/KnowTheStaff listed here]]) have locking authority on this wiki, and can also edit them to fix problems. To get their attention, post your request on the forum, in the [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=gsjp7dldjh2dwdelcha2hu17 sticky topic about edits and unlocking to locked pages.]]

Pages in the Administrivia/ namespace are meant to guide tropers on how to go about editing on the wiki. As such, the pages themselves have no need of examples or definition-tweaking. All pages except for a handful of exceptions (mostly ones related to maintenance instead of policy) must be locked to prevent either from happening.

Some pages must be locked to prevent either from happening. If the pages were locked for different reasons, it will be specifically noted below.

* Administrivia.AboutImagesAndCopyright
* Administrivia.AllBlueEntry: Was moved from locked Main.AllBlueEntry. Originally an article that included a list of such pages. Now such shrines of Administrivia/{{sinkhole}}ry are forbidden.

* Administrivia.ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike: After ComplainingAboutPeopleNotLikingTheShow had its examples deleted, someone dumped them here. After that, it was locked to prevent any more examples or complaining about the examples being deleted. We never allowed examples for this anyway, since DarthWiki/ComplainAboutShowsYouDontLike was created (and since deleted).
