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:
- Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
- Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
- 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.
- We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
- If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here
.
- If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
- To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
- Some locked pages have ongoing cleanup threads, like Complete Monster (Thread), Five-Man Band (Thread), and Magnificent Bastard (Thread). Other than purely technical requests, edits to these pages ought to be discussed in these threads first.
- Also, we do not do direct edits (other than changing wicks) to Magnificent Bastard or Complete Monster example lists. Rather, you need to do the edit to a sandbox page that follows the format Sandbox.Magnificent Bastard<Name of the example subpage> and Sandbox.Monster<Name of the example subpage> (e.g for Monster.Disney it's Sandbox.Monster Disney) and ask for it to be swapped in on Saturday for Magnificent Bastard and on Monday for Complete Monster.
- 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.

It has nothing to do with the 5P. I am just removing wicks to that wretched redirect.
Caught up.

Thanks, but YMMV.Sonichu has also Your Mileage May Vary that must be removed.

Hi
In uffish thought
Could you please remove the obsolete indexing system at the bottom of the Evil Overlord List?
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
Hi
Two for Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt please: could possibly use better phrasing.
Don't Explain the Joke: Death Race 2010 in the English dub Speed Demon is more talkative than in Japanese and repeatedly does the "and by that I mean..." type of explanation when he makes a sexual joke. (if a quote is appropriate one of Speed Demon's first lines is "I don't think you can handle what I'm packin' and by that I mean I have a big dick!")
Evil Is Hammy: Speed Demon (in the English dub) chews the scenery as much as he tears up the highway
- The Demon Sisters, especially when they start talking about the Rrrrrurus.
Also under Meaningful Name on that page the word "obsessed" links to Lawful Evil so that needs to be nuked.

"In distress", my ass.
On the Sex Slave page, please change JohnRingo to Creator/JohnRingo.

On the Pedo Hunt page, I am inclined to believe that "bad guy" is two words, not one.
(This could fall into stylistic differences, but I think simply changing it to "villain" would be the best fix, since it's a bit more formal.)
The Other Troper
On Complaining About Shows You Don't Watch, I'd like a line at the bottom that says (exact markup between quotes) " '''All wicks must be [[InUniverseExamplesOnly In-Universe Only]].''' ".
And on This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!, I'd like the "Examples" line to be replaced with In Universe Examples Only.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
Wicks too?
I'll go and necro the Wiki Talk thread on the subject of in-universe/no examples on page only or in wicks as well.

"Wicks too?"
For all the Sinkholes that some tropes get.
I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
That page has 424 wicks, some of them from YMMV tabs. If it's truly In Universe Examples Only, then why aren't there any of the main page?
(translated: That page isn't In Universe Examples Only)

The Other Troper
This is a new message. Plus it was locked and dumped examples well before it was decided to start limiting tropes to in-universe. Limiting pages to no examples was around before that, so it does not preclude this message.

Looks caught up to here.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.
The Other Troper
Save fore still needing the line on This Is for Emphasis, Bitch! changed, from "Examples" to "In Universe Examples Only". Otherwise, thanks for helping the rest.
There's a big comment banner on the front of the source page. Besides, the page is unlocked.
Sorry it took me so long to respond, Willbyr.
My request was that the recommendations entries (that is, everything in the folders) be given their own freely editable page.
It's not a recommendations page if nobody's allowed to recommend anything.
The Other Troper
I did not realize it had been unlocked.
YMMV.Sonichu needs High Octane Nightmare Fuel renamed to Nightmare Fuel.

Hi
Ramblin' Mushroom
At the Monster/Video Games page, Velvet Assassin, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, Gears of War, and Castlevania need the VideoGame/ namespace.

We know, Septimus. There is an ongoing P5 discussion about the franchise right now; assuming that it passes, cleanup will follow.
I'll hide your name inside a word and paint your eyes with false perception.
