Military and Warfare Tropes obviously. Can't think of anything else off of the top of my head.

Got a work in need of an index The Young Ancients.

Starts out seeming like a high/low fantasy, kid in a magic school whose roommate is a secret prince, creates new magic that everyone goes nuts over. Then it turns out the setting is Earth, thousands of years after the end, with a group of immortals each guiding a society on each continent according to their ideology, though magic still demonstrably exists, it's just the hat of North America.

Then it turns out there's a fleet coming in, maybe aliens, maybe wayward colonists coming home, and the hero has to design and build a magitek spacefleet from the ground up.

So... fantasy? Which type? Science fiction? Post-Apocalyptic lit?

Well, first of all, literature can always go on a page like Literature of the 2010s (or whatever the appropriate decade is).

The rest of it...sounds like Science Fantasy, but we don't have a separate index for science-fantasy literature, so I'd probably put it on Fantasy Literature. Fantasy with spaceships is (IMO) still fantasy.

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

The other day I came across Your Tradition Is Not Mine, launched in February and neither crosswicked nor indexed. I sent a notifier to the person who launched the page (or at least has credit for the first edit) and I intend to give them time to do something about it but, being honest, if they haven't done it by now I don't honestly expect them to at all. That said, I'm checking up on which indexes best fit the trope myself after I've let whatever arbitrary time limit I decide on expire.

The trope is basically a character actively deciding against whatever traditions or duties their family upholds. Given that the description links the trope heavily to sheep both White and Black, I figure their indexes, such as Family Tropes and Sibling Tropes, can be a place to start. Just wanted to toss the trope in here to see if there's something I haven't considered.

So I launched a page for the youtuber Trinimmortal , but I have problems indexing it. (It's not yet crosswicked, I will do that soon).

I have no idea where to index the tv trope page for a fanfiction for Dueling Trigger Fingers (A Danganronpa/ Yu Gi Oh crossover)?

Where would Shifted to CGI go? It was launched but not indexed, however I can't think of an index myself.

Turns out it was listed on the Heroic Sacrifices index, but the index markup only covered the first part of the list. Fixed it. Now we can start with the indexes on the Heroic Sacrifice trope for further choices.

Does This Troper need to be on an index? Maybe Wiki Tropes or Administrivia, considering most of the other what-to-do/what-not-to-do pages are on one of those? Or is it fine the way it is?

e: Wait a minute, it IS on the Wiki Tropes index, but on its own page it appears to be unindexed. What gives?

Probably part of the pseudo-redlinking that was attempted to keep it from appearing like a valid article.

I just published Sumo Wrestling. I don't know what index is appropriate for it.

To win, you need to adapt, and to adapt, you need to be able to laugh away all the restraints. Everything holding you back.

[up][up] Possibly Sporting Event. There are a number of fighting styles in the Useful Notes pages, but there's no overarching page other than that one and, well, that is supposed to be about "Useful Notes" rather than Sumo Wrestlers as a trope.

Sumo Wrestling is also part of Japan.

[up][up] I'm going to put it there for the time being. I'm afraid I don't know much about the sport, I only know about the trope through a superficial mean.

[up] Thank you, I'll put it there too.

I noticed that a book called Dark Matter is unindexed. I ask what indexes would fit this work?

[down] Thank you. I added the page to all 3 indices.

Circular Redirect does not have any indices. I note that it is listed on Administrivia, but deliberately excluded from indexing.

Anyone remember why that is, or should we just undo it?

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
