Locked Pages: Lock, UnLock and Edit requests

Go To

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:

  1. Check Locked Pages and Permanent Red Link Club first. They can provide guidance on what are good and bad requests.
  2. Include working links in your request to the page(s) in question.
  3. 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.
  4. We do not edit archived articles, even to correct links.
  5. If you need to have the capitalization of a page title or namespace of a work fixed, ask here.
  6. If you need to remove a ghost wick, go here.
  7. To request a page to be moved along with its history, go here.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

[up] I already did that...is there somewhere else besides the TV folder where it is?

Potholed in "their last appearance" in the TV folder.

For Fallen Creator, Fallout should be namespaced

Also, for "Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization, Monty Python's Life of Brian too.

Monster.Fallout needs High Octane Nightmare Fuel wicks removed

Sandbox.Pages Pending For Perusal By P 5 needs the Plot With Porn wicks changed to Porn with Plot

Edit: Nevermind, the wick I wanted to be changed is in a locked archive.

Let's just say and leave it at that.

[up] Got it. According to Eddie, there are only 24 pages on the wiki with ptitle markup left. I've hit 2 of them since then.

DarkConfidant Since: Aug, 2011
#3187: Jul 11th 2012 at 8:58:27 AM

I hit at least one as well. So we're down to 21 at most.

Also, on This Troper, there really needs to be a dash after the word "article" in the first sentence — this omission has been bugging the Grammar Nazi in me for far too long.

Yeah, but you made it into a Blue Link in the process.

That's a wiki software thing. Eddie has to go back and force it to be a redlink again.

Folks, editing fake redlinks blueshifts them. That's why they are locked; you need to ask Eddie to reset This Troper now (or create a redlinker tool that doesn't blueshift when edited. And is mod-available, perhaps as well)

I apologize - I was not aware of this. :(

I just figured I would point it out so it could be fixed. :/

[up] No big deal, it's already fixed...still curious as to why it happens in the first place.

Another consensus to cut another villain. This time we agreed to CUT Penelope from Sonny With A Chance. She is also on Disney page.

On the same page, we also agreed to cut Merlock from Duck Tales. He is also on Disney.

Just namespaced Something Awful. Can the main page be redirected there, please?

On these pages (excluding archives, as usual), Order Of The Stick has to be changed to Webcomic.The Order Of The Stick. Be careful with the additional "the".
