You have to actually write the page. "Launching" only generates the blank page and the blank discussion page, and makes a permanent link to the YKTTW, so that you can link to it on the discussion page.

On a related note... where did the Launch button go? :-/ I wanted to discard a trope and the button was just not there. I've checked the HTML, it looks like it has been completely cut out... Screenshot.

If it's under two calendar days old, the launch button is disabled. That's to keep folks from launching new pages after only a few hours or a day, but unfortunately, the way to discard one is "Launch to discard".

Ah, I see. Well, I'll have to wait, then... Thank you.

I'm too lazy to rewrite the trope, plus I forgot most of it, is there anyway to find the original YKTTW post?

Scratch that I found the original YKTTW post and I copied it

Exactly how do you launch a new page? I don't know how to get the template up so I can type it or anything and I can't find anything telling me how. Can someone help me?

You go to the URL of the page you want to create, click Edit, and type away.

Work or trope? Also, if it's a work make sure it's got the minimum three tropes, other wise it might get cut as a stub.

If you're looking to make a trope, YKTTW is where you want to go. If you go to any work page such as Film.Iron Man you can replace the Film Name Space with the media and Iron Man with the work title and go to work.

Fight smart, not fair.
