What index(es) should this go on?

The fact that the page is a redirect to itself is a sufficient reason to no have it indexed.

1)We don't index redirects.

2)Circular Redirects aren't exactly well liked by browsers. Generally speaking, you get an error page when going to them. This means that having it actually indexed will cause people browsing along the index at the bottom of the pages will end up on a error page. This is undesirable.

Oh, namespace troubles. I was talking about Administrivia.Circular Redirect which is a regular non-redirect page about circular redirects. And somehow didn't notice.

... why is Main.Circular Redirect Self-Demonstrating. well that's a discussion for elsewhere.

It is a bug. Circular Redirect and circular redirects are supposed to generate an error message. Administrivia.Circular Redirect is useless.

What's a bug?

The fact that circular redirects aren't caught by the wiki, I think they meant.

Judging by the edit history on Main.Circular Redirect, the entire reason that page exists is as an easy example of what that error screen looks like.

.... So, if Administrivia.Circular Redirect is useless, does that mean it should be cut?

So, there's a work (Doki Doki Literature Club!) that seems to start off as a Romantic Comedy, but abruptly goes through a Genre Shift partway through and becomes a Psychological Horror story. This is a pretty major spoiler for what should be obvious reasons.

My question is, would it be appropriate for me to add it to the medium's horror index (even though it's a spoiler) or should I leave it off? I already know that the work title can't be put in spoiler markup on trope/index pages.

Newly launched trope. No index listed, yet. Any suggestions?

Cathartic Exhalation

Good evening, I am a new troper here and I find myself completely out of my league, I have been talked into joining and helping to fix a new page here since I have some passing "Experience" in Wiki forums...problem is that TV Tropes is way more "different" compared to what I am used to seeing. I have already given a look at the page itself and tried to put some "flesh" on it to make it less empty, and now I saw that it has not been indexed and I was unsure about WHERE to actually put it without going against six-hundred-twenty-seven bazillion rules...Help? I never knew creating a "Decent" (their words, not mine) page here would have been so difficult...

What's the page?

here it is: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Creator/Tremor230

Apparently, the guys are fans of this dude and wanted to give him his own page here, problem is that...I don't want to say that they did a poor job...But it was only three lines of description without not even his profile picture, I already added more details based on what they told me about him (never heard of him myself) and few links and details. now I am trying to read his work to have a Trope list to add, but is not easy XD XD XD. Damn if it's hard being a Troper! (lol)

If it doesn't at least link to some work articles on TV Tropes, then there's not much point in that page existing.

what do you mean?

... sigh

To answer the first question, Tremor230 should be indexed in Creators (or an appropriate sub-index thereof) along with all other Creator articles.

Secondly, what I meant to say was that the article is incomplete and poorly written, and will be cut if these problems are not fixed.

• It has improperly namespaced links to various franchises in the description.
• It does not contain a list of works that this creator has made. This list should be linked to the articles for those works on TV Tropes.
• It has dodgy grammar.
• It is a bit too gushy towards this author.

in fact I think I should erase it completely and re-do it from scratch, and I toned down the "gushing" A LOT, you should have seen the mess it was before (add horrified shivering here), as for the spacing, I have honestly no idea how to fix that since for some reason Jojo keeps being put without spaces, I think I will remove that one completely... But really, I should just erase and re-start, it's never good to work with somebody else "left-overs"

What indexes for VideoGame.Getting Over It With Bennett Foddy?

The only one currently, is for the Creator, but there should be at least 1 Video Game type index...

The Pet Fad Starter page has just been launched; besides Trivia and Unexpected Reactions to This Index, is there anywhere else it should be placed?

I'm going to be launching Sky Williams soon (within the month). You can see the TLP draft here. I'd like some feedback as to what indexes the page should go under. I figure Web Video and Let's Play are appropriate, but I'm not sure if this page would technically fit better under Web Originals of the 2000s or Web Originals of the 2010s. That is, his first uploads were in 2008, but his web video series (plural) all started around 2013, and the article is about his web video series rather than him as, say, a stand-up comedian. I'd also like suggestions for any other index anybody can think of.

What indexes should Abandoned Mascot go under?

... Since it's a Series Mascot-based trope, shouldn't you be starting from there?

@1165 I added it to Video Games of the 2010s. It might be able to go somewhere on Humble Bundle. Possibly Genre-Busting too since that's apparently an index and I can't think of a clear genre for it.

^^ I listed it under Mascot. However, that's not an index.

No, I mean start from the indexes that Series Mascot is listed under.

I don't think it fits Rule of Cute or Characters as Devices.

It should since it's "this was at one time a Series Mascot, even though nowadays it's not".

Where should Sim Series go?
