You may check what Auto-Erotic Troping stands for, and it's not self-promotion. Nor making pages and crosswicking examples is promotion, it's a standard procedure.

I know crosswicking is pretty important for pages to thrive and all and it's usually the responsibility of the page creator to do so, but if you create the page for a work that you made and it needs to be crosswicked, does it count as Auto-Erotic Troping and/or self-promotion (which IIRC isn't allowed outside of that one self-promotion thread)?
I'm asking because crosswicking is one of the main ways to get a page noticed and I'd contemplated making a page for a fanfic of mine once or twice. Because of how it makes a page get noticed and thus the work itself, I wondered if it counted as Auto-Erotic Troping/self-promotion.
