Please go through these pages first before posting here:
- Work Pages Are a Free Launch: Yes, you can go and make a work page for something by yourself. This thread will also cover work page subpages (Characters/, Recap/, etc.) and Creator/ pages.
- How to Create a Work's Page: The basics on work page making, covering most things from the needed URL to putting the final touches on it.
- How to Collect Tropes: A simple guide on filling out your work page's examples section.
- How to Write an Example: How to write a good trope entry and avoid site no-nos like Zero-Context Example and incorrect Example Indentation.
Now that you've read all that, welcome! Making pages for your favorite works and creators is fun, but we get that there's a learning curve, especially for new tropers. This thread is intended to help people new to work-page making, and can cover anything and everything you aren't sure about after reading the relevant Administrivias: whether or not an example passes wiki standards, if the formatting and layout of your page is all right, if the summary is comprehensible, or if the page has enough meat to stand by itself. Or simply if you need a second pair of eyes to take a look at your work.
Things that this thread is not:
- A place to request work pages to be made - This Is a Wiki; if you are familiar with the work, then you are the best person to make the page. This thread is intended to be a peer review of work pages that are in progress or newly finished. If you feel like a work deserves a page but can't go about making it yourself for whatever reason, please list it in List of Shows That Need Summary.
- For help with trope-making: see the Trope Idea Sounding Board
(for incipient ideas) and the TLP workstation thread (for existing drafts) for help on that.
- For image selection: you can generally go and put up an image of the work by yourself (go through How to Pick a Good Image first, though), but if you have two or more suggestions, pop by Image Pickin instead.
Now - post your babies (sandboxes, new pages, TLP drafts, etc).! We are here to help. :-)

Scorpider77 has just dropped me a message and added an 'Under Construction' note to the page, but I'm not sure that's going to make a difference to the rules if it's not a Sandbox, is it?
Absolutely not; I removed it citing the "final draft" guideline on How to Write an Example. "WIP" warnings and stuff like Needs Wiki Magic Love have been used as a crutch for too long. Since their edit reason suggests they don't know how to expand the page enough to take it out of stub territory and it has been a stub for two weeks, I think it can be cut. I'll do the honors.

I've just made a page for Island of the Sea Wolves, a nature documentary. As I've never troped a documentary before, I'd appreciate feedback on any real life troping issues with it and such.
Hello
Hello, it's about Touhou Baseball In Heat Star 2007 again.
I discussed in PMs with Amonimus, about trying to get some help both for the examples and the translation from the original source in Nico Nico Douga starting with the original series here.
Since the text is in Japanese, it could be not as easy to find the actual quotes said by characters. I was only able to get about ideas from the prologue regarding the plot and premise of the story. I only translated it with the typical online translation tools, so it might be not the most accurate in definition.
Can I ask for help here?

Hello there, I am trying to create a page for a Genshin Impact fanfic, yet the site won't acknowledge the article every time I clicks on the edit button, insisting "there's no article named such on this Wiki". I have tried three times already and I'm starting to get annoyed. Is the Wiki glitching ?
lmao
From your edit history, I presume that to be Fanfic.Kaedehara Kazuhas Foolproof Guide To Accidentally Kidnapping The Failed Shogun Puppet?
The title's too long, that's why the page doesn't work (despite the blue link suggesting otherwise). From Administrivia.How To Create A Work Page:

If there's no precise English translation, I would err on the side of not quoting at all.
What if we kissed... and we were both trucks...
I'm in the process of making PunnyName.AwfulHospital and I think it could use some peer reviewing. The draft and reason for making are at Sandbox.Moefoxes. I just want general feedback, like if my examples need more context, grammar or wording are wrong, an example isn't really an example, etc. You don't need to have read Awful Hospital. this is my first time launching a page ever, so any and all help would be appreciated!
(Hopefully this is the right thread to ask this in. I don't know my way around this section of the forums.)

I'd take it to Is This An Example and Zero Context threads for a few.
The ones at issue are like Joe and Marcy, where you don't explain how the pun relates to the person. It seems like most Punny Name-s are sorta Meaningful Name-s too, so they gotta have context?
It's not like the Punny Name page quote where the names are trying to be funny in and of themselves by trying to make funny phrases.

Also for the record, I've redirected them from here because I've read it's about the page they're making, I've missed that it's about a subpage for a specific trope.
What if we kissed... and we were both trucks...
Would it be better to change it to MeaningfulName.AwfulHospital?
Edited by moefoxes on Jan 13th 2023 at 10:23:24 AM
Not sure. That's a Is This An Example question to me.

fixed some stuff, not all the stuff though, im going to bed now and tomorrow i'll take it to the threads mentioned above

It appears ~Malx have cut my Sandbox.Three Bogatyrs and launched it as Animation.Three Bogatyrs without the cut reason or asking.
I mean, that's on me for keeping a near-complete work page draft for months, and it was already catching inbounds, but this feels improper.
Since it was already in good state I don't really mind it staying as is (even though only 4 out of 11 mentioned films are covered), but I'll move soft-splits into own work pages later.
I've send a Crosswicking notifier since they're not doing it and should be regardless.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
Yeah, ~Tropers/Malx please consider this a warning to check with sandbox owners before doing anything with their content.
"Can you see what I see?"
Over in Sandbox.Mario Party Singular Games, I've done a lot of work on the folder for Mario Party 9. Does it seem ready to be launched into a page?
Ever wanted to see the most inexplicably horrifying intro to a game ever?

^I'd say so, yes. That folder looks to be in very good shape.
(she/her)
Yeah, it's definitely has enough content to launch

Bringing this one over from the Marvel Comics cleanup/review thread -
ComicBook.Avengers 2023 has just been created for the upcoming series, based on the press release here. It may or may not move to TheAvengers2023 depending on which version becomes the final/official title.
(Trivia and WMG pages also created)
Any thoughts? I'm unsure about listing Big Bad so early, or applying Vagueness Is Coming to the Real Life promo rather than in-universe messages.

I just made Sandbox.Lets Build A Zoo if anyone wants to add to it.
(MOD EDIT: Removed because remaking pages on behalf of a banned user will get you suspended. Don't do it.)

Sounds good on paper (he/him)
There is a procedure for making edits (including making pages) on behalf of a banned user, and it's called getting suspended because meatpuppeting is against the rules. Don't do it.
Edit: Removed that part of your post. (I would have thumped it if you hadn't mentioned the unrelated sandbox.)

Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
The Moron
Hello again! So I'm currently sandboxing a page for the novelization of Batman: Arkham Knight at Sandbox.Literature Batman Arkham Knight. I'm currently adding tropes for it as I read it and it's already got an image, but my main concern is this - when I send it to the Literature namespace, what should I title the page? Literature.Batman Arkham Knight could lead to future subpage collision, but Literature.Batman Arkham Knight Novelization feels a bit too isolating. I'm kinda leaning towards the first one, but I just wanted to make sure before I did anything. Thoughts?
ComicBook.Star Wars Hidden Empire has been live for three weeks now, but still only has two tropes (although one has two examples). I dropped ~Scorpider77, who created the page, a message about it back on Nov 23rd, but I'm guessing it still qualifies as a stub?
I've not read the comic myself, so don't have much to add in terms of tropes - but how long does a new page in this situation get before we actively take it to Cutlist due to lack of examples?
