New troper here. Can anybody help me out with this new page I'm starting? I can't seem to get it to crosswick and I can't add an image. It's the page on the webcomic "Antics". Thanks

Welcome to the forums, mate. Courtesy links: Antics.

Images In Wiki Pages is what governs images, but see also How To Pick A Good Image.

Crosswicking means that you add examples from, say, a works page on to the corresponding trope page.

Also, you might want to see Weblinks Are Not Examples, since several of these examples make no sense without the redlink.

Crosswicking is just about adding examples on the trope pages. So, for instance, go to the Courtroom Antic page and add the example there. And as Sep mentioned, you need to write a description of the trope and how the webcomic uses the trope, and not just have a link. But feel free to add the link too.

You can add the webcomic to an index or several the same way: Just add it to the list on the index page once you've found a good index to put it on.

You need to use double curly brackets {} around single word pages to get them to link. It should look like this

Webcomic/{{Antics}}

to get it to link properly.
