Hi, I'm having trouble posting a New Trope

I've got a snappy Title, a Laconic Title, and 15 different examples, but every time I hit SUBMIT on the Trope Launch Pad, it disappears

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

With those many rules, I'm most definitely not ready to launch a trope. Oh well. Guess I'll just think of what I've learnt to see if I can think of something tropable. No planning no hopes, right?

But I did not give it importance. Hide / Show Replies

Even if you don't think you're ready to manage a draft of your own, you can still contribute to other people's drafts by commenting on them, offering examples and feedback, etc. In fact, I'd recommend that as a way of easing into TLP.

Thx man. I've already started, in fact.

But I did not give it importance.

Since launching tropes without prior notice is a no-no, where do I go to give notice?

Hats and bombs are often not used as their intended purpose. Hats are often used as "this trope is a good idea" and bombs as "this trope is a bad idea", rather than "this trope is ready to launch" and "this trope has a hat it does not deserve".

The info on how to discard is sparse, and sort of comprehensible... But, basically all it says about how to do it is to "(see below)".

Do you think it should be changed to "see below, at the "Launching" section", or something? 'Cause when I got all the way down there, I didn't connect it with Discarding?

Or make a new section for Discarding, perhaps basically about how Discarding differs from Launching?

Also, make some notes on the requirements for launching / discarding other than just being 3 days old, if there's more?

Guys, don't you think you should update this, considering YKTTW's name change?

We should add a section on how to handle YKTTW Bumping. There is an old YKTTW that I am interested in bumping. I have many examples to add, but I know that some people don't like it when you bump old threads. Is it different with YKTTW?

I don't know of bump complaints in YKTTW.

I have a question about the launching process: When entering the title of your page, what if the namespace is something other than Main? For example, I have a Just for Fun page in the YKTTW section, and while it's not ready to be launched yet, I want to be prepared for when it is.

You can't, as far as I know.

Then how do people launch work pages on YKTTW?

By manual copying, I think.

This page is useful for putting new tropes on YKTTW but it barely mentions anything about putting new works on YKTTW. I know that there is the Works Pages Are A Free Launch page, but there should still be some tips on the YKTTW Guidelines for if you do need extra help. It would help to minimize confusion.

Well, the procedure stays the same either way. The page could indicate a bit more clearly that YKTTW can be used for works as well - It's a common misconception that YKTTW should not be used for works.
