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
for ongoing cleanup projects.
It doesn't have a characters page because no one has really bothered to make one.
You can look at other character pages and see how they're formatted to give an idea of how to make one.
Thanks. I may still need some help with it, though.
Why did no one tell me we can't change our usernames? I just took the initials of random family members and threw a name together.
1. Best way to start is to make a list of the characters in the movie, who have enough individual tropes applied to them.
2. Keep in mind that character pages are to have unmarked spoilers, with a warning for that on the top of the pages.
Oh yeah, here's a link to Sleepy Hollow for anyone else interested.
Edited by DragonQuestZ I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.
Character pages can have spoilers on them. Same rules as the main page.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.
^No, character pages are not supposed to have any spoiler tags.
Of course, the best thing to do would be to not make a character page to begin with.
Yes, they can have spoiler tags on them. If most of the page would need them, it's better to have them off with a spoiler warning up time. It's not a hard-set rule for which pages have spoiler tags on them(bar Recap pages, last I checked, which gets none, since they are inherently about spoilers anyway).
^That's incorrect. Fighteer just said (in another ATT thread) that the spoiler rules on character pages are the same as for normal works pages.
Quote from Fighteer: "The same spoiler rules apply on Characters subpages as anywhere else. Trope names, headers, folders, and character descriptions may not have spoiler tags ever, under any circumstances. Entire examples should not be tagged. If it's impossible to avoid ruining the work utterly for anyone who so much as glances at the article under these restrictions, then put a SPOILER WARNING at the top and remove all the tags."
And before anyone points out that other character pages have entire examples spoilered or headers spoilered, those are prime examples of misuse and should be fixed.

I'm not entirely sure I'm referring to the correct page, but I'll ask here anyway.
I was just reading the Sleepy Hollow page and was kind of disappointed to see that there was no Characters page. If there's some reason for this that I don't know about, that's okay, but if not, I'd like for one to be created. I've never written a page before, and I'm not even completely sure how to, but I still wanted to check in with someone else first. Thank you.
