Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
You wrote the namespace wrong, it should be TearJerker, not Tearjerker. Though I'm not sure how to fix it...

They shouldn't be case sensitive...
Well, they are for the Tear Jerker namespace. I'm not sure why that happens, but when you make the subpage with the Tearjerker namespace instead of TearJerker it messes up and it doesn't show the tear icon on the main page.
Strangely enough, those mistyped subpages still show up when you select tearjerker on new wiki edits, but without the tear icon and the brown font.
"Yeah, it's a shame. Here we are in an underground cave with all these lasers, and instead of having a rave we're using it for evil."
That's odd; I was pretty sure I used Tear Jerker in the first place. Got to the blank page by clicking the trope when it was on the main page, and it was typed in the proper format then.
Just tried blanking the Terjerker page and putting it under Tear Jerker, but I just seem to have edited the same page twice. Bother.
I have shifted the Tear Jerker stuff over to the YMMV tab for lack of any better idea on how to make it accessible. Will attempt to wiki better once I figure out how. >_>
I recently moved the Tear Jerker entry for The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer to its own page, only to realize after the fact that the main page doesn't have one of those cool little teardrop button bubbles up at the top.
Is that something that needs to be added manually, or is it an automated part of the wiki machinery?
