"Create new" just gives you popular namespaces as options.

Tropes can have personal Tropers/, Sandbox/ and TroperWall/, which they can use however they want, as well as indefinite amount of Sandbox/ pages as long as tropers work on them for projects. TroperWall is used as a guestbook, so I suggest using Sandbox.ISS600 for your fic. Also, we have DarthWiki.Unpublished Works, I suggest reading about it.

Epic, thanks for the help dude. Gonna read that now and make that sandbox page. Thanks again, mate. Super helpful.

Dumb question though, how do I use the Darth Wiki Unpublished Works? And School Days is a published fanfiction (it's on FF.net) so would I be able to use the Upublished Works for it?

If the fic is publically available, it belongs to Fanfic/, if not, to DarthWiki/, but since you're not sounding confident, Sandbox/ is your safe bet for now. Also, I highly recommend reading Administrivia.The Fic May Be Yours But The Trope Page Is Ours while at it and maybe let someone else weight in.

To make a page for an unpublished work, you will need to create the page in the Darth Wiki/ namespace e.g DarthWiki.School Days.

If School Days is a published fan fiction, it can get an "official" work page in the main wiki. You can create the work at Fanfic.School Days. Be sure to give Administrivia.How To Create A Work Page a read before you create the page though.

Ah, welp I was ninjaed.

No worries Macron and thanks to you both for the help. I've already read both pages multiple times before hence sticking to Sandbox as I currently use the pages as a place to note down things I want to do and all (my brain is so infested by this site, I swear).

I'll probably give it a work page in the future. As for weighing in, until it gets a work page, if anyone wants to crash the sandbox pages, feel free.
