Hi, sorry if this isn\'t the right place to ask, but I couldn\'t see anywhere else that seemed more fitting.

I recently made a page for a certain work. It\'s a little obscure, but I don\'t want to be the only person adding to it, so I\'ve been trying to add it to as many trope pages as I can. However, I also don\'t want to just go through the tropes I\'ve added to it\'s page and adding them to that trope page.

Can anyone give me some advice on this, or is adding it to more trope pages the only thing I can do?

Crosswicking is how you attract Wiki Magic to an article. Unfortunately, sometimes you're the only troper who has sufficient interest in it. We've got pretty good Google search rankings, so often the thing that brings people here is when the article comes up in searches.

Another thing you can try is to go to the appropriate Media forum and see if there's an existing thread for the work or a related work. You can also announce the article creation here.

Crosswicking! That's the word for what I've been doing. Thank you.

I wasn't aware of the thread you mentioned though, so I'll add it there, and I'll check out the Media boards. Thank you!
