Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

I have nothing to add, other than to clarify that I said "We're supposed to split pages by book. Just like with films, video games, and everything else." The only reason most book pages aren't properly split is because we don't have enough of a literature fanbase here.
Writing a post-post apocalypse LitRPG on RR. Also fanfic stuff.Technically both right.
From "worst" to "best" organization:
- Everything from a creator on the same page.
- Works from a creator on the same page, soft-split by a hardline, or folders.
- Each series/universe having their own page.
- Each sub-series within the overall universe having their own page.
- Each work having a separate page.
Whenever possible, pages should move to a lower bracket. A trope that is in play for two out of three books is in play for the series as a whole, but not in each book. Depending on the trope, it may even be a notable aversion to the trope.
The same thing applies to short stories, songs, and web videos. People tend to go the easier route of putting the information on a single page (Creator or Band), but a whole work should get a dedicated page. Then the Recap namespace can be used for portions of the work (such as episodes) as well as a summary of the entire work.

Is there official policy on splitting up work pages into the different installments?
Right now, Discar and I are having a disagreement. There's a series called The Mistborn Adventures, by Brandon Sanderson. So far, only the first book in the series, The Alloy of Law, has been released. (The books aren't very long either. The Alloy of Law has about the same length as an early Harry Potter book, and the next book will be roughly the same.) The page for this series was called "The Alloy of Law", and treated this as the name of the whole series. I moved the page to "The Mistborn Adventures", fixed up its indexs, and made the Alloy of Law pages redirects to the new pages for "The Mistborn Adventures".
However, Discar says that when the second book, Shadows of Self, comes out, we have to split up the page into pages for the individual books, even though the books aren't that long and the page is only at 40K characters.
I'm arguing that we can just keep the tropes on the page together, or, if we need to, split the Alloy of Law and Shadows of Self tropes into separate folders on the Mistborn Adventures page. On the other side, Discar says that it's TV Tropes policy that each page must be split up into individual pages for the separate works within it.
Who's right here? Do we have to split up the page when the new books come out, or is it okay to keep them on the same page?
