So, your favorite work is a {{Redlink}}, and you think it deserves to have a page on the Wiki, but you're not sure how to go about it. Well, you've come to the right place. Anyone can make a work's page, and [[NoSuchThingAsNotability any work can have a page]]. WorksPagesAreAFreeLaunch. So if you're wondering whether you're ''allowed'' to do this, well...yes. Yes you are. Here's how.
!! Step-by-step guide
# '''Find the blank page to edit'''\\
The first step is to find the page where your work is going to go. You can do this by editing an article URL (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/NamespaceGoesHere/TitleGoesHere) or by creating a RedLink ([[NamespaceGoesHere/TitleGoesHere NamespaceGoesHere/TitleGoesHere]]) on the WikiSandbox (or anywhere else) and clicking it. Once you've found the right page, click the "Edit" button at the top to start editing.\\

# '''Write a brief description'''\\
At the top of the page, write up a short description of the work. Good things to include: the name of the work's creator(s), the year it was first published, the genre and medium, a brief and spoiler-free overview of the plot, a link to the official website. Things ''not'' to include: quality judgements (don't say how much it sucked/how awesome it was), critical reception (that's just a specific variant of quality judgements), recommendations (don't tell us whether or not we should check it out), plot spoilers. And whatever you do, ''do not copy text from the {{Wikipedia}} page.'' That is {{Plagiarism}} and it is ''bad.''
# '''Add a list of tropes'''\\
At the bottom of the intro, type [=----=] (four hyphens) to create a horizontal line. Underneath it, create a header that says "!! ''[Work Name]'' contains examples of:". (The !! at the beginning of the line is the Header markup.) Underneath that, you're going to make the trope list.\\
\\
The tropes should be in a bulleted list, [[HowToAlphabetize alphabetical]], with one trope per line, followed by a colon : and a brief explanation of how the trope applies. Check the TextFormattingRules if you need help with the wiki markup, and HowToWriteAnExample for miscellaneous tips on style.\\
\\
There should be a minimum of three tropes listed, or the page is at risk of being sent to the CutList as a stub. More is preferable, of course.\\
\\
Once you have a description and a trope list, click "save" to save your edits and create the page. Feel free to use the "preview" feature first to check your work.
# '''Set the page type'''\\
This step is nice and quick. Go to the "Tools" menu on the left side of the screen. There should be a button that says "set page type". Click on it and set the page type to "work". There you go.\\
\\
This'll enable things like Reviews and the subpage tabs at the top.
# '''Add indexes'''\\
Find an index where the work belongs. Something like FantasyWebcomics, FilmsOfThe1990s, StrategyGame, TheatricalProductions, etc. Find the correct alphabetical location and add in your work. You should have at least one index, but if it fits in multiple places, you can add it to more than one index.\\
\\
HowIndexingWorks covers this topic in more detail.
# '''Submit a custom title'''\\
This is only necessary if the title includes punctuation; otherwise, skip this step. Under the "Tools" menu on the sidebar, find the "customize title" link and click it. Fill out the form to add punctuation, correct capitalization, and so on. Once a moderator approves it, it'll automatically be applied. More detailed instructions for this step can be found at HowToMakeACustomTitle.
# '''Cross-wick'''\\
If you want people to know that your page exists, you'll have to link to it around the Wiki. Remember that trope list you wrote up earlier? Take some time to visit the pages for the tropes you listed and do some EntryPimping, adding your work as an example on the trope pages. This'll help attract WikiMagic to make the work's page grow!
# '''Add an image''' (Optional)\\
You can use the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/uploadform.php Image Uploader]] to upload an image for the page. Box art or official promotional art (such as a theatrical release poster for a film) is the standard for most media. See HowToPickAGoodImage for more info. If you're not sure, you can just skip the image; it looks nice, but it's not required.
And that's it! You're all set. Feel free to click the "add watch" button at the top of the page if you'd like to track changes through your [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/awl.php Watchlist]].
!! Need help?
If you have any questions about this process, don't be shy! Create a query in AskTheTropers or start a thread in [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/conversations.php?topic=0000000000000000000000f3 Wiki Talk]], and you should get a response pretty quickly. You can also use the "Discussion" link at the top of this page if any of these instructions were unclear.
If you need help writing up a description or coming up with applicable tropes to list, you'll want to find other fans. Try posting in the appropriate Media section in the TVTropesForum.
!! Frequently asked questions
* '''Is [Work] notable enough to get a page?'''\\
ThereIsNoSuchThingAsNotability. If it exists, it can be troped. Heck, sometimes we even trope [[TVTropesTheWebcomic things that don't exist]], JustForFun (but that's for the professionals, so don't try it at home).
* '''Can I make a page for a work that I created?'''\\
Yeah, sure, go ahead. You're allowed to trope your own works. Just make sure you understand that once the page is out there, you won't have any control or ownership over it--anyone is allowed to edit it, and any editor will have the same rights and privileges as you.
* '''What if it's not published yet?'''\\
If your work isn't published yet, you can still make a page for it, but it will have to be in the [=DarthWiki/=] {{namespace}}, and it can only be indexed on UnpublishedWorks.
* '''I'm not sure which {{namespace}} to use.'''\\
Pop over to AskTheTropers or the TVTropesForum and ask. Someone should be able to help you out.
