* '''How do I find a suitable index page?''': The IndexIndex is a whole list of index pages. See also Administrivia/NeedsAnIndex if that doesn't help. You can ask in [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12934881600A56997400 this forum thread]] if you're stuck.

Added DiffLines:

* '''Do I have to index ''every'' new page I make?''': The only pages you don't need to index are Trivia, [=PlayingWith=], Haiku, [=ImageLinks=], Timeline, Quotes, and Laconic subpages (which are visibly autoindexed) and YMMV and Fridge subpages (which are autoindexed, but not visibly so). Other than that, new trope/work pages and subpages need to be indexed somewhere.

Added DiffLines:

* '''This new page I made is on an index, but the index isn't showing up''': An index is updated when it is edited -- not automatically. Try editing and saving the index where the new page is or toggling the page type.

Made the point that only the first link in each bullet is indexed a bit more prominent.

Added DiffLines:

* '''What happens if there are multiple links within one bullet?''' Indexing uses the first link to a wiki page within each bullet. Later links in the same bullet are ignored, so you don't need to use [=[[=]/index]] markup to exclude them.

Here on Wiki/TVTropes, we make a life out of categorizing tropes and stuff. For this purpose, we have a whole lot of indexes where we can add pages on so that they are categorized. Putting something on an index is also known as "Indexing".
