Sometimes I come across pages of a show/book/whatever that do not contain picture regarding that topic. I would like to add a picture of the book cover so people can better recognize the title, but unfortunately I do not know how! Can anyone direct me or show me how I can add a picture to a page?

Thank you

Use the image uploader to get a file from your computer onto TVT. You can then add it to the page by pasting in the bare URL (without any [[brackets]] around it), which you're given upon uploading an image; see Images In Wiki Pages for more formatting help.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I'm trying to get new recap pages set up for Yu-Gi-Oh! the first series. However, it's not saving my edits. Am I doing something wrong?

Where (the URL) are you trying to save your pages?

The same ones I've been using for the other ones. I just don't see what's different with the pages I'm trying to save edits on.

... no, it can't be the same URL. Which URL were you using?

The same one. The ones I'm trying to edit are episodes are episodes 10 and up. I was able to edit episode 11 somehow. Do you want to check them out yourself?

From looking at your history to figure out what is going on (since you couldn't/wouldn't provide the answer yourself) - the UR Ls for the pages are just way to long.

Seriously, things like Recap.Yu Gi Oh First Anime Series Ep 12 The Extremely Lucky Enemy The Invincible Legend tend to not work.

Thank you for looking at that. I'll try shortening up the titles.

I would suggest dropping everything after the episode number and using a Custom Title to display just the episode name.

I need some help. I need someone to help me edit a page of mine. It's Fan Fic:Swordstorm. It's new, and needs a lot of work. Can you help me?

[up] First, unlike Wikipedia, you need to use a forward slash ( / ) rather than a colon to link to a specific namespace.

When you open a post window, there's a button below the [Save draft and go back] which says [Show Markup Help]. Clicking that button will list useful notes such as how to link a page properly. For example, Swordstorm.

To go to a specific namespace, use (/) or (.)

Hi, is there a way to write a two word title with both words capitalized and with no space between them. For example when I type Iron Gate, I want it to show up like that, but it shows up like Iron Gate. I just want to get rid of that space with losing the capitalization of either word.

Use the following brackets to avoid CamelCase or scripting effects: [=text=].

[=IronGate=] becomes IronGate

I'm trying to add something to a WMG page: My theory is about the end of the story, so I assume I should mark it with a spoiler tag. I'm not sure how to do this. I read the Text Formatting rules but I didn't quite understand where to put the marks and my text. Could someone explain this to me really specifically? Thanks.

[[spoiler:Your text goes here.]]

will create this: Your text goes here.

You are free to copy and paste that into the article and replace "Your text goes here." with the content you want to actually tag.

Recently I launched a new Trope Feathered Serpent; however, I would like Plumed Serpents and Quetzalcoatl as redirects since they are just as commonly used instead. I've tried to do it myself, but I just can't figure it out could a moderator do this for me please?

When editing, how do I make bullet points and page break lines? Also, italics and page links?

Hi, I just made a new page about Valley of the Dinosaurs (not to be confused with ValleyOfTheDinosaurs.Valley Of The Dinosaurs, which was my first, and failed, attempt at making this page) and I was wondering if anyone wanted to help me polish it up. Add examples, maybe create a page like "Funny", "heartwarming", etc. I'm surely not the only one who remember that show.

Hey! I'd like to think I have a layman's knowledge of editing here, but I cannot get a particular media page linked on others correctly. I can't even do it here, so the URL is https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Film/Pierrot_leFou. I've never seen a page titled like that, and it appears that that's why it's a lonely island. If there isn't a trick I'm not aware of, is there a way that I can get the link changed to Pierrot Le Fou or something?

Auto Correct doesn't know Übermensch? I'm okay with teaching it Latin, but this is inexcusable.

The article must be deleted (via the Cut List) and remade without the underscore in the title.
