I'd suggest giving How to Make a Custom Title a read-through.

I think the bigger issue is that Media.Xs Omnibus is in the wrong namespace and "is currently set to be serialized", so "not yet available to the public". The Characters page also has numerous characters with no tropes and a hotlinked image error for Doctor X.

You should probably read Unpublished Works as a starting point, and also The Fic May Be Yours, but the Trope Page Is Ours, which has guidance for creators editing pages on their own works.

In summary:

  • It can't have a Characters page or anything other than a DarthWiki page until it's published to the public.
  • Pages without tropes are stubs and are likely to be deleted if that's not fixed.
  • Characters without tropes mustn't be added, and will be hidden, even if the published work does qualify for a Characters page.
  • Creators need to be very careful about troping stuff that's not available to the wider audience. Until it's public, nobody else can check or update it... and we're not generally comfortable with that.

We can work with you to fix all of this, but if it doesn't change soon it's likely that someone will try to delete it from the wiki — any user can raise a cut request for this sort of issue.

I see Media.Xs Omnibus has somehow gained 23 off-page wicks, and considering the page is invalid, all these examples need to go as well.
