For future reference, if your work page does not have at least 3 (fully fleshed out) tropes on it, it's a stub and is eligible to be cut (i.e deleted.) Please do not post incomplete pages in the future.

You might find this page helpful.

Aa the one who knows the fic, you're the only person capable of adding tropes to it. If the page is incomplete, add it to Cut List and recreate when you're more familiar with how pages are made. (you can copypaste the page to Sandbox.Before The Soulrender Takes His Toll to work on it later)

You need to put two exclamation points right before the text "This book provides examples of" (as in !!This book provides examples of:). See the Headings folder in Text-Formatting Rules for more info.

You can always briefly check other oages in edit mode for reference.

Also check Zero-Context Example and Word Cruft. Examples don't address tropes on the left, they neutrally recap part of the story and tropes serve as labels.
