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. :-)

Just launched Disco Zoo; description-writing is as usual not a thing we're great with, and while the game is very simplistic it probably still contains more than 7 tropes.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
I launched these work pages for fairly obscure works:
- WesternAnimation.Space Chickens In SPACE: Formatting is OK, perhaps needs improvement.
- WesternAnimation.Mighty Mike: As above, only vaguely familiar with it.
- WesternAnimation.Buck And Buddy: Only vaguely familiar with this, but not enough to write the full article.
- Series.Waffle The Wonder Dog: Needs major expansion, linked to from Action Dress Rip
![[up]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/smiles/arrow_up.png "[up]"){kind=icon}
On the Ambiguous Disorder entry on Space Chickens In Space: The trope isn't intended for diagnosing characters with mental disorders.
The first two, I took the liberty of commenting out partial-context examples and did some minor formatting tweaks like hard lines above the example line. Remember How to Alphabetize Things; articles (a/an/the) don't count. And Intended Audience Reactions are still audience reactions.
Please index the third one somewhere.
The fourth one..."needs major expansion" is an understatement. It's a single-line stub. We can't be the ones to build it for you.

I've just added WesternAnimation.I Elvis Riboldi to Western Animation of the 2020s, it's a new series, so needs updating as episodes are released.

How to Create a Work's Page says this...
This step is nice and quick. Go to the "Page Info" box on the right side of the screen. Click on the edit button next to "Page Type", then set the page type to "work". There you go.
...Except I can't find the Page Info box. Is this page outdated?

It should be right under where it says "Go Ad Free." It looks like this
◊ (where it says "Page type: Trope").
You might not be able to see it / it might be in a different place on mobile.

I recently launched a page for the Half-Life 2 machinima series Combine Nation by Lit Fuse Films.
The series is a bit similar to Ross Scott / Accursed Farms' series Civil Protection.
I gathered a few examples, however I'm not that trope-savvy so I'd appreciate if somebody helped me trope it more extensively.
Links to the vids are on the page.
Humankind is like a train. No matter how powerful the locomotive is, it can only travel as fast as its slowest car allows it to.
This thread can't really be expected to "add tropes" to works (that's the job of tropers who are actually familiar with it).
Anyway, don't forget to index. I corrected some errors and commented out ZCE.
I'm helping!
So, uh, stumbled upon Film.Paper Man, created kinda ineptly by ~C Jthe Drake. Never heard of this film, so can't really contribute, but the page desperately needs help.

I'm currently working on Sandbox.Cheat Slayer,a manga that became notorious for being a center of a major plagiarism controversy. I need feedback so that it becomes a full work page.
Hi
As is, the Expy and Take That! entries are Zero Context Examples, as they don't give sufficient detail to explain how or why each fits.
Otaku
I've created the manga namespace for Cheat Slayer. For the Expy, I've added this description to the trope examples:
- Expy: All of the 'Rebels Against God' members resemble physically characters from other isekai works, to the point it became a center of controversy when it was accused by critics and fans of plagiarism and character assassination against other works still in publication.
- Honda Yuya is an expy of Subaru Natsuki (Re Zero).
- Louis Crawford is an expy of Shin Wolford (The Wise Grandson or Wise Man's Grandchild).
- Flare is an element-swapped expy (fire instead of water) of Aqua (Kono Suba).
- Kilt is obviously an expy of Kirito (Sword Art Online), right down to the moniker and the name.
- Anastasia Melokva is a nationality-swapped expy (Russian instead of German) of Tanya von Degurechaff (Saga Of Tanya The Evil).
- Imerda Pinata is an expy of Catarina Claes (My Next Life As A Villainess All Routes Lead To Doom).
- Roro Sendiger is an expy of Rimuru Tempest (That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime).
- Yukiko Shijo is an obvious expy of Aletta (Restaurant To Another World).
- Don Will Dead is an obvious expy of Ainz Ooal Gown (Overlord 2012) with the head of Elias Ainsworth (The Ancient Magus' Bride).
But for the Take That! example, it's very sparse due to the manga being cancelled after only 1 chapter, resulting insufficient elaboration other than 'it's a story coated in hate and desire' against the Isekai genre.
Angry babby
The expy example still doesn't explain how those characters are copied from other characters.
I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
I helped kittycat567 launch The Adventures of Ook and Gluk: Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future, which I vividly remember from when I read it years ago. It only has the minimum 3 examples required, though.

lmao
Crosswicking the examples there onto the trope pages on there would also be a good start. Perhaps there are a few places in Comic Books where that page can be wicked to as well. Maybe I could think of a few tropes to add from reading the work's page on Wikipedia.
Yet with that being said, I have a work page I've been working on that I'm finally ready to launch, currently sitting in this sandbox: Oliver Twisted.
Is there enough information about the book above the tropes? Is providing the link to where the book can be ordered a good idea, and should I make it say something differently? Lastly is the spoiler note I put there as well - is it worth mentioning? Or could it be worded differently?
Also sharing here in case I missed any ZC Es.
I'll be crosswicking the trope examples and adding this to Young Adult Literature, Horror Literature, Literature of the 2010s and on the original book this story's based from: Oliver Twist. Anything else worth mentioning?
Creepypasta cleanup got two major pages for JTK and Slender
There are a bunch of Ook and Gluk examples on Captain Underpants (in the bottom section) that should be moved there. Edit: done.
Edited by Twiddler on Jul 18th 2021 at 4:29:42 AM
It looks pretty good on a cursory skim; some are a little light on context. For example:
- Related in the Adaptation: Oliver's mother, Agnes, is Brownlow's daughter.
What's the adaptational change here?
lmao
Alright so I fleshed out that one by adding "They had no direct familial ties in the original story." If that's alright.
I also fleshed out the examples for Adaptational Jerkass, Fate Worse than Death and Relationship Reboot.

Should I post Shin Megami Tensei NINE's page here? I launched it a few months ago, but it still isn't finished, and I'm not sure where to ask for help.
I'm helping!
An old pre-watched page of ours, Dungeonmans, got launched recently by ~Sir Ram Esq. Could use some polish and a glance over for contextualization; they seem to be fairly inexperienced.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Pre-watched? As in... watching a page that hasn't been made? You can do that?
...Just tried it out, but refreshing the page just resets the follow button to its "not following" state.
I'm helping!
It doesn't show anywhere until the page gets created, but once it does it'll pop up on your following list like any other page.

Fit's "primary" content isn't Let's Play, so that's a bit off topic for him.
Most of the content is stuff that other users/groups did on 2b2t, and shouldn't be on Fit's page.
