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][up]&[up][up][up][up]I took care of the last wick for Main.She Panned It Now She Sucks and cut that redirect due to DarthWiki.She Panned It Now She Sucks replacing it.

I haven't taken care of any other requests, so I'll defer to the other mods on that.

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.

I would like to add a few examples in the film category for Adolf Hitler:

  • Moloch follows a few days of the life of Hitler and Eva Braun during an abrupt stay at the Kehlsteinhaus (Eagle's Nest) mountaintop building in the Bavarian Alps in 1942.
  • My Führer, a Black Comedy in which a Jewish acting coach (played by Ulrich Mühe) is taken out of a concentration camp to motivate a depressed Hitler into making rousing speeches again.

Please remove the links to Characters.Mega Man XX and Characters.Mega Man X Zero on MagnificentBastard.Mega Man and Monster.Mega Man because their pages got merged back. If I need to consult their threads first, I can do that.

I think Curious George (2006) should redirect to second and third movie, since tropes from these movies are featured on the original movie page.

Mandela Catalogue and all of its subpages were locked to prevent the troping of supposed leaks and some controversy surrounding its creator. However, said creator has now disproven the allegations and confirmed that the alleged leaks were false.

Mostly done to here - the Curious George thing is not for this thread and I don't know what the matter with Mandela Catalogue is.

The third entry under Hypocrite for Fire Emblem: Three Houses – Edelgard needs to either be removed or reworked for the following reasons:

  • First: the entry misses the context of the line in Japanese. Dimitri was talking about how he learned to rely on his friends for moral support, to which Edelgard replies that he wouldn't understand people who don't have anybody they can turn to (while Edelgard has an ally in Hubert, he is, by his own admission, not equipped to help with emotional issues).

  • Second: Dimitri's experiences during the timeskip are irrelevant. Edelgard is not omniscient. She has no reason to know that he chose to wander about the slums instead of reaching out to his allies for aid.

  • Third: The list of commoners the two have supports with is outdated and incorrect. Even assuming Dedue, Petra, and Mercedes are deliberately omitted for being foreigners/a former noble, the list still excludes Byleth (for both) and Hapi (for Dimitri), while Alois is included despite being considered a noble in-game.

  • Fourth: As presented, the fact that Dimitri has more supports with commoners is also misleading. For one, Dimitri has more supports than Edelgard generally. Additionally, only one of his supports with a commoner (Ashe) even remotely touches on the broader social and political issues with Fódlan, while both of Edelgard's do. Furthermore, Dimitri's supports with Ashe and Raphael only go up to B rank, whereas Edelgard reaches A rank with both Dorothea and Manuela indicating a closer relationship.

If not removed outright it could be changed to read:

  • In the English dub of Azure Moon she expresses doubt that a noble like Dimitri could understand the feelings of the poor, despite being royalty herself. This does not apply in the original Japanese, where she instead responds to Dimitri espousing The Power of Friendship by doubting his ability to understand people who don't have anybody else to rely on.

For Fan Works, Fan Works: Crossovers, Music, The Arkn Mythos, The Slender Man Mythos replace all instances of Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos with DerivativeWorks/TheSlenderManMythos.
