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.

In Pædo Hunt, the reference to The Filth needs to be changed from the Main/ namespace to Comic Book/.
"But... nobody told me I needed a signature!"
This time it has been confirmed that Hopper doesn't count as a Complete Monster and he should be removed from Disney page. While his actions are sickening, he still loves his mother that he kept his promise to her. So he should be removed.
Basically canon
Would Pixar count as an example of Fallen Creator? Cars 2 was a critical flop and Brave got very mixed reviews...
- Unfortunately, Pixar may be heading down this trail, at least in the critic's eyes: Cars 2 received very negative reception from critics, and Brave was released to mixed reviews.

pearlina brainrot affects millions of people worldwide. if you or a loved one are suffering from pearlina brainrot, call 1-800-GAY-NERDS

If you think it's an example, write it up as if you were putting it on the wiki page, in a bullet and all, and then post it here. That way, it's easy for the mods to paste in. 
Lost in Space
Fallen Creator takes a lot more than just a couple of poorly received films.

Yeah. Otherwise it's just duplicating Ruined Forever.
I have a couple of namespacing requests.
On Creator.Christina Hendricks, Main.Firefly should be Series.Firefly and Main.Mad Men should be Series.Mad Men.
On TV Tropes The TV Show, Main.Echo Chamber should be WebVideo.Echo Chamber.
Thank you!

Momentum, a function of mass and velocity, is conserved between portals. In layman's terms: speedy thing goes in, speedy thing comes out.
On the Professional Wrestling Wallbanger page, I'd like to request that the following be added under TNA.
- For several weeks, it was teased that Madison Rayne had a crush on someone in the company. It started with her fussing over what she was going to wear, progressed to her coming out during matches to act like a smitten schoolgirl, then even asking Garett Bischoff what her crush was like. On the 7/5/12 edition of Impact, she came out after Devon's TV title defense and revealed who her crush was by kissing him near-senseless. Her crush? Earl Hebner.

Hi
I think we're caught up to here...re-post anything that was missed.
The last few instances of "Pokemon" on Sonichu still need to be changed to Pokémon.
Also, Mondegreen has a redlink to the nonexistant Ascended Trope in the music folder. To make it flow better and kill the redlink, maybe change:
Stevie Nicks gives us an example of an Ascended Trope. The first time she met Tom Petty's wife Jane, Jane said that she and Tom met "at the age of seventeen." However, her thick Southern accent made it sound like "Edge of Seventeen." Nicks liked the sound of it, and wrote a song around it.

Also on Ghastly's Ghastly Comic, Jack Chick is not a trope. That entry should be moved as a sub point on Take That!.

Hi
I did a search and only found one instance of Pokemon that wasn't spelled right. Made the change on Mondegreen.
Done.

Evil Overlord List - Series.Deep Space Nine is a redlink; it needs to go to Series.Star Trek Deep Space Nine.
Hi
There has been a consenus that Evil Buzz Lightyear and NOS 4-A2 don't qualify as Compelte Monsters; the latter is a Well-Intentioned Extremist while the former only a Jerkass.
- Buzz Lightyearof Star Command has some, but the particular example is Evil Buzz Lightyear from an alternate universe. He manipulates Gravitina, who's in love with him, by pretending he loves her as well, but when her life is in danger, he doesn't even try to help! He even reacts to her cries sarcastically. Let's also mention NOS-4-A2. He is a vampire robot who enjoys torturing other machines and he brainwashed XR into becaming evil. Actually, his goal is pretty evil. He wants to turn the WHOLE UNIVERSE INTO MACHINES! As a result, he's one of the few villains to get Killed Offfor Real in his last appearance. Ironically, Zurg himself, who was considered as the most evil villain in the whole galaxy, avoids falling into this trope due to being very much an Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain.
This is the description and it should be REMOVED. It is on Disney page.
Hi
On the same page, there has been also another consensus; The Tracker and Phobos do not qualify as Complete Monsters either. They are also on Disney page, and here is the description: WITCH
- The Tracker. His horrifying appearance and complete lack of personality besides relentlessly trying to kill the heroes definitely solidifies him as the show's most evil character.
- Phobos could count as well. He abducts and tortures Will, and he wishes to kill his own sister.
They should be also removed and the consensus has been here.
Forofgold power!
- Prodigal Hero: It appears to have originated this trope.
- The Trope Namer of sorts is Jesus' fable of the Prodigal Son, in which a boy leaves home, loses all of his money gambling, becomes a wreck, and finally returns home, only to be greeted with love and open arms. However, because the son has no real dire reason to leave, and because there is no conflict upon his return, this isn't exactly a straight version of the trope at work.
- A more direct version of the trope, however, comes from earlier in The Bible with the tale of Moses fleeing Egypt, living happily in the desert, and then returning to Egypt to free the Jews from the tyrannical Pharaoh.
On Übermensch, 2001: A Space Odyssey needs to be changed to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
On Fox News Channel:
- The O Reilly Factor to Series/
- Mass Effect to Franchise/
- Hottip in the explanation for Obfuscating Stupidity
- House to Series/ (It's referring to the TV program.)
- The Simpsons to WesternAnimation/ (Twice)
- Family Guy to WesternAnimation/
- The Daily Show to Series/
