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. :-)

Spelling something out in English letters, which is what we do with Japanese and etc works.
So Vourate Geitnoi would be fine then, understood, thanks
Not a work page but a creator page. A while back I created Sandbox.Damien Haas and I wanted to expand its description. Unfortunately, I'm not terribly familiar with Smosh Games (who Haas was affiliated with) so it might a little hard for me to come up with one.

Just launched Frank and Percy, for the new British play (currently starring Ian McKellen) .
Largely based on the text rather than performance. Probably more to add, but hopefully it looks ok.

have you tried good old Google and You Tube yet?
I'd rather not in case I come across something that might be misinfo.
I'd still give it a shot, humans trend toward honesty even with abundant misinformation
lmao
My advice would be to look at multiple sources/places for info and consider the consistent info as more reliable.
Pantheon Wick Cleaning
Trans Siberian Anarchestra (it/they)
Humans are also credulous. Information may be false even if honestly written, and that's assuming that liars don't invest in visibility.

This is the first work page, so I would like to have it checked by anyone willing to do so, to see if I'm on the right track, check for typos, add tropes I missed etc. but especially if I missed some requirement.
There's probably typos and I also need to proofread it for spoilers, otherwise it's ready for launch as far as I can tell
The game is indexed already, it just needs launching.

After skimming it, the page looks fine
^^ That One Boss is YMMV and should be removed from the main example list. I'm not a fan how the description looks right now — I think a simple link to the video is cleaner than a full embed. I would also prefer that you summarize the game in your own words instead of just pasting the summary (also just to be one the safe side regarding plagiarism and original content).
Re: Haas; I finished the description now using info I found via the Smosh wiki.

That's very nice, as a minor nitpick, i would recommend splitting his roles in between mediums, and if you can, chronologically
@ perotinus1983
In quite a few of the entries, the first word after the trope name is not capitalised. You've also written "with it's tongue" when it should be "with its tongue". Its, when used as a possessive pronoun, does not have an apostrophe. And this:
- Eye Beams: some bosses use this: the mutated cat, the sinking eyeball and the final boss.
is what we call a Zero-Context Example because it tells the reader nothing about what these bosses "use". Simply listing a trope and saying "X does/has/is this" is not sufficient context; you need to make it clear what "this" is. Here, for example, you would need to say something about the bosses firing beams from their eyes.

Great, thank you, I will process everything

I launched it, but still, any feedback is welcome. If I make a contribution I would like it to be a good one.

What's with the Darthlupi
Unjustly accused of painful accuracy
I was told 2006 would be a better disambiguation, so I changed it. Darthlupi is the creator
It's now on The Cleaner (2006)

A Girl, Just One of Many Kinds
Soo sorry but how can I place symbols into the title?
Like say I wanna make the title be “The Time Traveling Wizard: A History Story” or “How To Train An Elf (And Fail)” as examples, how would i be able to put the colon and the () in?
Keep Fighting. Keep Loving.

How to Make a Custom Title has the info you need.
But first, make sure the title is capitalized correctly (each word starting with a capital letter, no all caps except for acronyms/initialisms). If you try to submit a custom title for an improperly-capitalized title, it'll trigger a bug.
If a page needs its capitalization fixed, you can take it to this thread.
If the capitalization is fine, then you're good to submit a custom title.
