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.
You index a page by editing one (or more) of the index pages listed on that link and adding your trope to the bulleted list. For example, if you wanted to index Bookshelf of Authority on Bookish Tropes, you would edit the Bookish Tropes page and list the trope in the correct alphabetical placement.
Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
mightymewtron, Thank you!
I added it to Bookish Tropes, but it's still not on that main index page. Does it take a while, or does it not go there?
Oh, My wife and I like your user name.

The main index page only contains indexes, not things that are indexed.

Ah, so other than crosswicking as more examples are added on Bookshelf Of Authority, I don't need to do anything else with that page?
Thank you.
Nope, that's it. Congrats on your first launch!

And while I don't think it's required to have more than one index, I would recommend seeking out at least one other index that would fit this trope, just to increase exposure. Intelligence Tropes might also work.

Adding also: I recommend adding it to other Main/ pages (eg. any compare/contrast tropes) to improve the chances of people finding it.

Thank you very much!
I proposed "Bookshelf Of Authority", it got 5 net hats, and 15 examples. I launched it tonight, more than 24 hours after announcing 24 hours to comment or edit: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BookshelfOfAuthority
I just got done crosswicking all of the examples.
I thought I was supposed to add it here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/index_report.php
but I can't see how to edit that page. Do I need to ask someone to edit it?
Thank you!
