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 for ongoing cleanup projects.

Have you read Welcome to TV Tropes? It gives an overview of navigation, policies, links to how-to pages, etc. Main/Administrivia has a comprehensive list of how-to and policy pages. If you're looking for something specific and can't seem to find it, Ask The Tropers may be your best bet.

Not sure about the special banners, but every page has a "Discusion" button at the top, near the edit and history button; these pages usually get used to discuss contested examples. Much of the behind-the-scenes stuff (splits and merges, renames, quote and image changes, etc.) goes on in the forums, if you're interested.

In order:

  1. Applying banners is something that is done by moderators. It involves discussion in the forum and is not something regular tropers have to worry about.
  2. Starting discussions can be done by the "add a new topic" button in discussion pages, at their bottom. Starting forum discussions is done by the "Create a new conversation" button at the forum page bottom - assuming that the thread does not already exist.
  3. Finding discussions your participated in can be done through the "Search posts by troper" or here for wiki discussions.

You appear to know your way around quite a bit, it seems to me though.
