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.

Another one for Permanent Red Link Club - I'd like for this:

  • YMMV.Nintendo Switch: Useful Notes YMMV subpages, especially those for gaming consoles, are not permitted, yet this one came back more than once after being cut.

to be changed like so:

  • YMMV.Nintendo Switch: Platform YMMV subpages, especially those for gaming consoles, are not permitted, yet this one came back more than once after being cut.

This is to reflect the fact that Platform.Nintendo Switch is no longer in the Useful Notes namespace.

Done to here. Went with different wording for [up] to reflect that it was a Useful Notes page at the time.

Can Manga.Aki Sora be locked for violating The Content Policy, and to prevent it from being recreated?

Double-post because I consider this to be a separate request.

Another one for Permanent Red Link Club - I'd like for this:

to be changed like so:

This is to clarify that the video (which can be found here) is specifically a review of the movie.

Could someone create a redirect from Talks Like A Pirate to Talk Like a Pirate so it's easier to link to without making a pothole?

Requesting an edit to the locked page Badass Israeli.

  • The Witch of Knightcharm: Rebecca Asher is an Israeli witch who became the third most powerful student in The Scholomance. This is even more impressive seeing as how she was one of the very few students who started in the back of the class — where she was given crappy equipment that barely worked and terrible food which, because it wasn't kosher, she wasn't able to eat — and managed to get stronger and rise in rank instead of just staying in the back forever and eventually getting killed by a stronger student.

Can someone please unlock the character page for All For One from My Hero Academia so it can be edited?

EDIT: Disregard, I just now discovered the "Sandbox" section for All For One's character page, which cane be edited and have stuff added in.

Characters.God Of War Series Kratos has been split according to his Greek and Norse era tropes, so please edit Administrivia.Character Specific Pages to add Kratos to the list of characters having their own sub-pages.

Done to here, including the Aki Sora lock. Didn't do Administrivia.Character Specific Pages as I need some markup to past it in; the Near Misses request likewise lacks a rationale.

DTH. Aki Sora is already cited in the content policy page, just with a different namespace.

Minor edit request for Administrivia.Spoilers Off. I think the image caption should have a link to Film.King Kong 1933 because it is mentioned in the image. It could be potholed with the "Too soon?" line and the external link to the comic could be in a note. Like this (but if you have a better idea, then you can correct me):

Can we get a lock on all pages associated with Peter and Company? I have reason to believe that the author or one of his associates is going to attempt to vandalize the page and its subpages soon.

^ Just a gut feeling, honestly.

But do keep a sharp eye on the page, regardless.
