I've noticed that many of them just contain a description of a stock phrase and no examples, i.e. "This Item Not Available in Stores." So if I wanted to create one, could I just make the page and describe it without having to go through YKTTW?

Technically, tropes don't need to go through YKTTW, it's just highly recommended.

I guess it is.

I recommend doing it anyway. Also, it should have examples, lacking them is grounds for a cut and being sent to YKTTW.

Really? Because both Not Available in Stores and Four Equal Payments of have no examples, and that's just a couple of commercials tropes that don't.

If the description is good, I'd recommend starting a YKTTW anyway to gather examples.
