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.

We don't edit archives at all. HONF will live! 
Main.Star Trek Enterprise needs to be changed to Series.Star Trek Enterprise on America Saves the Day, DarthWiki.Fallen Creator, Underboobs, and Sex Slave.
Hi

...dammit.
Done.
In My Immortal, Ptitleh1qfbg3l needs to be changed to StarKitsProphcy.
It's super effective.
Are the additional points to George Lucas on the Fallen Creator page anything more than natter and Justifying Edits?

No, no they were not. Chainsawed.
Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

Requesting an edit to Something Awful noting that it is where The Slender Man Mythos started.
Groovy.
How about this entry, copy-pasted from The Slender Man Mythos description?
- The Slender Man Mythos: The Slender Man is an internet meme, specifically a Creepypasta, first started by Victor Surge on this site (here). It soon became more popular and mutated into what you see before you today.

Hi
I put it in the general list; should it also be mentioned in the Trope Namer section?
It's more of Trope Maker/Trope Codifier from what I can tell, so it probably wouldn't hurt to make a note of that in that section.
Just A Face And A Caption says:
"Of course, a trope about purely visual tropes, like faces, facial expressions, hairstyles, and such are a different matter"
The word "trope" appears twice in the same sentence clause. The first should be changed to "an article":
"Of course, an article about purely visual tropes, like faces, facial expressions, hairstyles, and such are a different matter."

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

Many thanks.
Also, The Slender Man Mythos seems to be Franchise/, so that could probably stand to be changed.
Hi
Done to here.
Let's Hop to It!
All Anime Is Naughty Tentacles - needs edits to remove redlink in description "Victim Falls For Rapist" and "Urotsudikouji" (Overfriend) under Live Action TV.
Victim Falls For Rapist might possibly be coming back, so the redlink should not be deleted.
Hi
- Could someone perhaps explain why "Laundry" is in the "GTL" ("Gym, Tan, Laundry") list? I was under the impression that that was a daily routine list, but unless "Laundry" is both literally going to the laundromat to wash clothing and a euphemism for socializing at the laundromat, or the people in this show's social circles wash a single set of clothing at a time out of a very small wardrobe or wear several (or more) outfits within a single day, as much as a rich fashionista (or fashionist?) would wear and have sent to a professional clothes cleaner or tailor, I don't see why/how "Laundry" could be a daily thing, let alone would need to be a daily thing.
Since this is a Headscratchers page, I'm not sure if it even counts for this thread, what with Headscratchers being an inherently responsive format. I already looked up the question, but everything I found just seemed to take "GTL" as a given, since it was presumably explained in the show and thus anyone who cares should already know what it is.
Hello! I'm an awful, awful, pedant 
. With that in mind, there's a wee little nitpick I'd like to suggest for AboutImagesAndCopyright. The line:
or has been released under a "copyleft" license such as Creative Commons.
should read:
or has been released under an "open" license such as Creative Commons.
(Why? "Copyleft" refers to the "viral" property of some licenses that requires derivative works to be under the same license. Creative Commons licenses with the Share Alike clause, like the one used here, are "copyleft," as are licenses like the GNU GPL. But it's not technically correct, as I understand it, to call Creative Commons licenses without the Share Alike clause "copyleft," because derivative works can be relicensed under different terms.)
Thanks!

There has been a consensus to remove another villain from Complete Monster Video Games list. It has been agreed that Clara La Guerta doesn't qualify and this is the description on the list.
- Depending on your interpretation of her character, Clara La Guerta, who is a pregnant girl who says she was impregnanted by her employer, Harold Thornton, then thrown out on the street with her child. You go to get some money from Harold to support her, but he denies it, challenging you to a duel. He dies. Upon giving her the money, she is clearly distraught at the news of Harold's death. A few days later, you see Mrs Thornton. Clara apparently turned up to laugh at Harold's funeral, and Mrs Thornton casts doubt on the whole story. Thus, the possibility of Clara being a deranged, lying, vengeful bitch who manipulated you into killing an innocent man for no reason whatsoever is a very real one. Her status as a minor Karma Houdini makes this even worse.
Since my account in new, I cannot post a link from where it came. Just look at CM cleanup thread and you will find it.

I can provide the link. This post, and then at 1291 there's more discussion on her.
Thanks

Ad Of Win Archive 2010 has quite a few High Octane Nightmare Fuel links that need to be reduced to regular old Nightmare Fuel.
Unless because this is it is an archive everything remains the same like a time capsule, in which case I withdraw my request.
