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.

The newly-restored page for Fifty Shades of Grey has a YMMV sinkhole that presumably should be removed.

Said page also has wonky markup in the links in the description, and a Red Link: All Blondes Are Unpleasant.

For some reason, the Main.Sengoku Rance redirect was cut. So that needs to be pointed back at VideoGame.Sengoku Rance.

"However, being that the series is mostly a parody of those Western cartoons," I think this should go. I don't think being inspired by a bunch of comedic, silly cartoons to make a comedic, silly cartoon constitutes a 'parody'. It's like saying that when one comedian takes influence from another comedian, they are making a 'parody'.
Adolf Hitler needs Ruined FOREVER wicks removed, as it's Flame Bait now.

Hi
We should be caught up except for #3020 (the page doesn't exist as far as I can tell) and ![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
...that needs some discussion on the page or in its thread in the Anime and Manga forum.
In uffish thought
I believe #3020 would like the page created again (it is locked from being cut). Personally, I think it can probably just be unlocked and function like a normal Headscratchers page, though I can't find its reason for being cut.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
On Quotes Wiki, a hottip is used in the first line of the description. It should be replaced by a note, like this:
Here at TV Tropes Wiki, we love our quotes. A lot. Unfortunately, you can only fit so manynote relevant quotes at the beginning of a trope article before they overwhelm the article itself.
The hottip is gone.

Oops, edit request for Just A Face And A Caption again, same line:
"Of course, an article about purely visual tropes, like faces, facial expressions, hairstyles, and such are a different matter."
The "are" should be "is"; that refers to a singular (i.e. "an article [...] is"). Also the punctuation should be different, one set of aside parentheses and one set of list commas, instead of two kinds of commas.

Did the wick migration for Jack Chick. There are six wicks left on locked pages where JackChick should be amended to Creator/JackChick. Can someone with superior editing power do this, please?
Actually, they should be moved to ComicBook.Chick Tracts.
Jack Chick and Creator.Jack Chick are redirects to ComicBook.Chick Tracts.

Some sort of copy error was made on the Western Animation Complete Monster page in transferring the Family Guy C Ms to the page, and the last line, which reads Crazy Awesome: Adam West, needs to be deleted.

Yes, I know it's a redirect. But I think it's a legitimate alternative title. I'm for alternative titles.
Edit: Thanks, lu127!

Let's just say and leave it at that.
On the Chekovs Gun page, all Main.Star Trek The Original Series wicks need to be changed to Series.Star Trek The Original Series, as does Main.Star Trek IV The Voyage Home to Film.Star Trek IV The Voyage Home, Main.Star Trek Deep Space Nine to Series.Star Trek Deep Space Nine, Main.Star Trek The Next Generation to Series.Star Trek The Next Generation, Main.Star Trek The Animated Series to WesternAnimation.Star Trek The Animated Series, and Main.Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan to Film.Star Trek II The Wrath Of Khan.
Done to here.
Three of the wicks on #3037 are archives, so I didn't edit them.

On The Fundamentalist, please replace Philip Jose Farmer with Philip José Farmer (Creator namespace). Thanks.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
Hi
World's Toughest Milkman
I don't know if TVTropesTheTVShow.How To Write Season 1 and TVTropesTheTVShow.Character Holding Bin count as archives or not. If not, please change Nakama to True Companions on both pages (one instance on the first page, three on the second, no rephrasing required).
With that, we'll be able to declare the migration complete, with only four (or six) archive wicks remaining.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
Ptitleviaitwmfb2hh needs a redirect to Manga.Jojos Bizarre Adventure for 78 inbounds.
edited 29th Jun '12 9:37:27 PM by DarkConfidant
Final Fantasy VII, Touhou, and X-COM all have over ten inbounds - and should be made as redirects to their NightmareFuel/ counterparts.
edited 29th Jun '12 11:13:22 PM by movie007
Also, Ptitle1yvo8o1a5ltl should be redirected to Why Don't You Marry It? for 21 inbounds.
Also, Ptitleviaitwmfb2hh has 0 inbounds now.
On Fetish Fuel, please replace the hottip markup with a note.
Everythings Worse With Snowclones has this line: This may be the best title if the trope is a really obvious instance of the "playing it up for X when it's not really" schtick across the board. If it's not, you should probably put the effort into coming up with something less muddled.
Given No New Stock Phrases, this should probably be removed.
