I tried following the instructions in the "Contributor Pages" folder in Welcome to TV Tropes but I don't quite understand how to get it to work.

I guess you'll have to make Tropers/ProfessionalNoob and hope there won't a user with that name because the system for pages is more restrictive than the login one.

You can make a tropers page. I have one, in fact, despite having a hyphen my name.

Here is a link to yours: Tropers.Professional_Noob

^ You can't make a tropers page like that, if I recall.

hmm but how do I make a Professional Noob page? If I try to edit that page, I get an error that says "Sorry, only Moderators and Professional Noob are allowed to edit this page"

It looks like you simply can’t make a Tropers page for yourself if your name contains an underscore. Sorry.

^^^ Hyphens are in fact the only punctuation supported. Per Get Known:

If your handle doesn't start with a letter or contains any punctuation other than a hyphen (-), you will not be able to create a Tropers page for yourself.

The system recognizes Professional Noob as a different user because it doesn't have the underscore.

Sadly, if you want to make a troper page, you going to have to delete this account make a new account without the underscore. Professional Noob is still an available handle so you can create a new account with that name if you so choose.
