Last night, I created a Funny subpage for Welcome to Beacon: Ultimate, but I noticed that there isn't an index page for the Funny subpages of Play By Post games and Roleplays. Is there any place else that it could be properly indexed?

I made a page for Spawn, any idea where I should index it since it covers media outside its comicbook source?

There is no problem with putting the page on more than one medium index. They are all on Awesome Music.

I think this is the right place to post this. Timmy Failure and Tom Gates need to be on an index. I don't know which one, or how to add them, because there's no edit button for indexes?

Yeah, you need to edit the index page to get stuff indexed. The Index-Index is a list of index pages.

Got a message saying I need to add the Dead of Winter characters page to an index. I clicked the Tools, clicked the "set page type" button, and used the drop down menu to make it a sub-page, since it's a characters page.

It's still not indexed. What am I doing wrong here? The main page has been indexed, under Horror Tabletop Games.

What you are doing wrong is that indexing the page is not accomplished by messing around with page types. You need to find an index page and add your article to it.

Alright guys, I added a trope (Cross Ange on the Anime page) before putting the info but it still says "needs to be indexed". Is there a bug or something?

You should have done it in reverse: Make the page first, then add it to the relevant index(es). The system apparently only updates an already-created page's list of indexes when you edit the index in question to add the Wiki Word (and save the edit, of course).

Disney on Parade, Duffy, Dimanagul, Nate Piekos and Dasaria need indexing.

Since there were so many examples of the trope in the movie, I went and made a Word Of God page for The Book of Life. Where do you think it should be indexed?

I feel incredibly idiotic for asking something like this but I do not know how to Index. I have a page ready for a page, related to the videogame Apotheon.

I have ideas of what indexes it belongs to I just do not know HOW to.

Yes. I checked the site of "how to Index". It was not clear enough for me.

It does not. I have yet to make it. I mean, I hav it fully rady to launch, it is just that the rules have this insistence of not leaving everything for others to Index so I have not launched it yet.

It does not have neither a page, nor a forum thing. The game is relatively new.

As you can see it is a red link. Apotheon

I guess Video Games would be the first index to use, or one of the more specific ones on that page.

Yes, I know that but...what I do not know...is HOW to index Like. The instructions are not clear for me. Like the format. What and where do I have to put things in.

Just using a link somewhere in the page for an index will idnex it there?

Just make sure you add it to the index(es) after making the page.

I made a page, but I still don't know how to index it. I read How Indexing Works, but I still don't understand...

I made 2 pages, and for some reason I can't figure how to make an index. Is there anyone who understands how it works be willing to add these two pages to an index for me?

Thank ya so much in advance.

The pages are
