Recap/ subpages need a complete form of one of the following details:
A summary of events in the work (which can have more detail than in the main article description, including sharing spoilers).
Part of the main trope list, restricted to the events of the episode. These follow the 3 tropes minimum (and less than ten tropes risks becoming a stub from cleanup efforts).
The subpage for the main work may index the chapters/episodes of the work. Merely listing the names is not sufficient; they must create links to the recap subpages, even if we don't have any yet.
The Recap/WorkNameChapterName naming convention. For story arc recaps, arc fan names are acceptable if there's no official one.
Recap/ pages with Wall of Text summaries should be condensed.
Recap/ pages can have own Trivia/ or YMMV/ subpages if there are at least three tropes from the "episode". They shouldn't have other namespace subpages.
Tropes that happen only in one episode/chapter are to be moved from the work article over to the respective Recap/ subpage if it exists, unless the main work page would become a stub itself by doing so. Tropes that need context from more than one episode beside the immediately previous one can't be in Recap/ and stay on work's main page.
Trope lists on Recap/ pages are considered, in effect, organizational splits and sub-works. Therefore, they are also subject to work article rules.
The Recap/WorkName page must be indexed on the general Recap index, and index the subpages.
Recap/ text with episode summaries from official (or fan-made) resources count as plagiarism and need to be removed. The subpage might be cut as a stub.
Recap/ pages shouldn't have additional info like plot coupon progress, kill counts, or character lists.
When Crosswicking to the trope page, the work's main page should be used as an example and a link to the respective recap may be included. This often takes the form of [Work Name: In "Episode", context]
ZCE are commented-out or deleted, and if this leaves less than three tropes, the subpage might be cut as a stub.
Recap/ page's images, captions, and top quotes follow the rules of Image Pickin'.
