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

I looked at that, but it seems to be more about genres and tropes used. There doesn't seem to be an index for works. Am I looking at the right bit?
Wait a minute. It seems to me there was a discussion about this a while ago and I don't remember the upshot. Are there any other songs that have pages any where?
I know I saw a couple a while back, but I can't remember what they were I'm afraid. Plus they were in "main" (as far as I remember at least), and I know we aren't supposed to be creating new works pages in that.
They should go in Music. We don't generally want separate articles for individual songs but there are a few that have managed to graduate to the status of works in their own right. They still always go in Music.

okay, thank you.
Ideally they'd go on the page for their band. Unless they have more than twenty tropes I don't see why they'd need a separate article from the artist.

IIRC, the way Music is supposed to be used is that the Music page is supposed to have the band on it, and the songs listed (this has much more to do with the amount of songs produced, than any other factor). This is generally sorted by album. However, if the song you mention is large enough, it might work as it's own section, yes?
Fight smart, not fair.
That's basically what we are saying, yes.

If there is a song that uses sufficient number of tropes to warrant a page, which namespace should it go under?
