Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

How To Create A Works Page should explain the basics pretty well.
You can start out at Sandbox.Dungeon Dynamite. Pages in that namespace are assumed to be under construction, so if it takes a bit to get it up to full description and three filled out examples, it's cool. You can play around as much as you need to.
Once it's ready, copy and paste to WebVideo.Dungeon Dynamite and cutlist the Sandbox page.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry Pratchett
You can also use a notepad in your computer and type in everything before creating the page so you don't have to create and cutlist a sandbox.
The advantage of using the sandbox is that you can see what the finished page will look like, and that all links work, that images look right, and so on.
The main things to keep in mind when drafting the page, as How to Create a Work's Page details, are that there needs to be a non-stub description of the work at the top of the page (not too detailed, but it should convey a good amount of information regarding what the work is, who created it, etc.) and at least three non-Zero-Context Example trope entries (which should then be cross-wicked - that is, copied - to the appropriate trope pages), and the works page should be added to an appropriate index (if you're stuck for possible candidates for indices, try looking at the ones on which other pages for web video series are listed and see if any of them fit).
Bear all of that in mind and you should find it all smooth sailing!
Sooo I want to create a page about this amazing little (and I mean REALLY small, at the moment it has only two episodes) web series called Dungeon Dynamite. I hit the edit button and was immediately overwhelmed because of the giant white box that I had to write in. Do I need to read something to figure this out, or am I over-dramatizing things here? Thanks for any help.
