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.

A "semi-example" that relies on other examples on other pages to work seems questionable; I'll decline that addition.

The other edits are done.

Thanks. How's this?


Please add the following to Film P To Z:
  • Veronica Mars: Stu "Cobb" Cobbler was a drug dealer in Neptune High. After graduation he gets invited onto a boat party by a group of friends for his supply, but when Susan Knight starts to overdose he lies to the others that it's nothing to worry about. When Susan dies the others panic and he advises them to dispose of the corpse. He then uses this information to blackmail Gia, Luke and Carrie for ten years. Gia Goodman, the girl he lusted after in high school, is forced to have sex with him whenever he wants and live in an apartment without any blinds or curtains so he can ogle her all day from across the street. When Carrie breaks down, he murders her in her own home and uses Gia to frame Carrie's boyfriend Logan Echolls for the murder in a state with the death penalty. When Gia finally confesses all of it to Veronica, he snipes Gia through the window without a flicker of remorse or regret and tries to murder Veronica to cover it all up.
Also, for Live-Action TV, please change Lou to Stu (also Veronica).

The first entry (The Joker one) seems a little contextless; the other two edits are done.

Fair enough. Please get rid of the Muska example from Anime And Manga I To P. He's already on A-H.

Please lock:

and then could you edit the FiveManBand.Live Action TV page so the wicks point to the unhyphenated pages mentioned above instead of the hyphenated ones.

Could you also edit these pages to turn them into redirects (from the hyphenated page to the unhyphenated ones I've asked you to lock):

Please lock:

Please edit the FiveManBand.Western Animation page so the wicks point to the two pages above, instead of the hyphenated versions.

Could you also turn these two pages into redirects to their unhyphenated equivalents:

Got these subpages as well as the discussion pages. I'll look at the cutlist now.

Please edit the Real Life page (it's locked) so that it points to:

Thank you. And thanks for dealing with those FMB requests.

Truth in Television won't allow me to change the page type - it needs to be changed to index.

Real Life has been edited. The Truth in Television thing is something that has its own Tech Wishlist topic.

Requesting an edit to Hollywood Tactics to talk about the battle scene in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Azog the Defiler uses trolls to support his troops, an effective divide-and-conquer strategy, signals to direct his forces, and they're a very disciplined and well-equipped force, having swords, shields, pikes, and matching armor. He even has a second army coming from the side to reinforce him late in the movie. He's almost able to overwhelm the good guys.

That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.

Panty Shot lacks the long line that is supposed to be at the bottom of each page.

On Sex Slave, can you please add the following example to the Live-Action TV section:

  • Engrenages: One of the major plots of the third season has Laure and the other cops going up against a gang of Albanian pimps who keep their trafficked women as virtual prisoners in a sleazy motel, keep all the money they earn, and react to any hint of rebellion by brutally torturing them or handing them over to a local Serial Killer to be murdered. They even kill one of them in a copycat murder when the killer gets arrested, so that he'll be thought innocent and let out of jail to continue working as their ultimate sanction.

Thanks very much.
