New Work Page Workshop Thread

I haven't actually launched it yet, but feedback on Sandbox.The Whiskey Vault is appreciated.

Literature.The House Of Asterion: It doesn't seem like there are any issues.

Sandbox.The Whiskey Vault: "Daniel (left) and Rex" seems like an awkward caption format, it usually seems like "(right)" is also there, unless I'm missing something. It could also be mentioned what year they started doing this, so the page could be added on an index like Web Originals of the 2010s. Finally, the page quote suggests there could be an entry for Mad Libs Catch Phrase.

Thank you for your help!

Well, I figured since there's only two of them, it would only be necessary to give an indicator for one...I suppose that could be struck since Western reading order is normally L - R. I'll make those other changes.

So I've been trying to put together a page for the film Save Yourselves! in my sandbox, with most of the page's content having been added just last night (I got an unexpected motivation boost). It's my first attempt at creating a work page, so any feedback is appreciated.

Hello? I recently created a page for an obscure PS1 game called Rascal. I was wondering if anyone could help out on it? Most information comes from the game's manual I might add. And maybe looking at YT vids of the game might help. On its character page, I'm currently adding some character backstories from the manual, as well.

Looks largely fine. You can beef up the description by noting who stars in it and how/where it was released.

Some issues I noticed:

• You have quite a lot of Zero-Context Example entries. For example "Kid Hero: Rascal himself". That does not tell me anything: specifically, how is Rascal a kid? And how is he the hero?
• You've already launched the page, so you need to index and crosswick it.
• You gotta remove the "this page is Under Construction" notices. All site pages are under construction.

How exactly do I index and crosswick something?

How Indexing Works

Crosswicking

I've been wanting to make a page for Malinda Kathleen Reese to discuss her non-Twisted Translations content. However, I'm not sure if it'd be under Music/ or Creator/, and if I should call it "Malinda" (her channel name) or use her full name.

I wonder if anyone here is familiar with the PS1 game Akuji the Heartless (which, by the way, was developed by Crystal Dynamics)? If so, could they start an article on it, please?

This Is a Wiki, and Work Pages Are a Free Launch. You can make the page yourself.

Just made a page for Deeplight. Since I don't create pages very often, it seemed like a good idea to post here. Hopefully, I haven't messed anything up.

There's a few formatting issues. For example, when adding a trope that uses a custom title with lowercase letters, make sure to capitalize every word, rather than just the ones that visually appear that way. For example, Half the Man He Used to Be should be written as this:

• HalfTheManHeUsedToBe

Not this:

• HalftheManHeUsedtoBe

Fixed them. I'll be sure to remember that in future. Thanks!

You said a few formatting issues. Was that referring to the multiple miscapitalised tropes, or are there other screw ups that need sorting out?

There’s not much else, although I did notice that you tried to wick a plural version of Eldritch Abomination, even though no such redirect exists. You can, however, alter a trope name by putting it in curly brackets and adding more text after the second pair of brackets. For example, this:

• {{Eldritch Abomination}}s

Will appear as this:

• Eldritch Abominations

Furthermore, you can use vertical bars for certain plural forms of words. For example, this:

• {{Self Fulfilling Prophec|y}}ies

Will appear as this:

• Self Fulfilling Prophecies

How did I not notice that redlink? Fixed it. Thanks again!

For anyone into the fake anti-piracy scene, Sandbox.Piracy Is No Party probably technically meets the bare minimum requirements for a works page, but tbh we feel like it needs more than what it's got so far to be "really" "good enough"

This thread is for getting feedback on pages you’ve created, not discussing works that you think could use pages.

Hello! I just created a page for Fairy Tales of Mourania. I added 8 tropes and any help with issues you noticed, new additions or any advice from anybody would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think it looks good so far although Big Fancy House could use a sentence or two describing what the house looks like if that makes sense.

Oh and the page needs an index. Maybe Web Serial Novel? Also, you should crosswick the tropes on the page by adding them to trope example lists

I made a new series on my Tumblr blog, and also made a tropes page for it. It desperately Needs Wiki Magic Love, and there's a link to my Tumblr blog on the tropes page. I just posted a new batch of Gordonisms, and I'm too lazy to trope all of them, so I might need help.

There’s currently way too quote examples. While those can work sometimes, you shouldn’t do that for nearly every example, especially since some of them don’t provide enough context on their own.

Also, I noticed a “see above” example. Don’t write examples that tell you to look at another example (in this case, it doesn’t even specify where to look); examples should always be entirely self-contained.

But it's based off of stuff like Skippy's List, and that series has tons of quote examples on its trope page. For the "see above" example, I was trying to avoid Department of Redundancy Department, because the example that was above it (Electric Instant Gratification), had the quote I was looking for, and quoting it twice in a row would've lead to, well, Department of Redundancy Department.
