Basically, you can only launch into main from YKTTW.

Usually, the best thing to do is launch the article into main, then change the URL manually (that way, the launch list will still take you to the disambiguation page if there isn't an actual page in main - although that's not an issue here) and post a link to the original YKTTW on the new article's discussion page.

Strangely enough, we did used to have a tool for launching into namespaces, but it was axed for being too complicated...

I wish I had been aware of that. I prefer to wait first until a mod unlaunches the page so I can then do it right this time. Thanks for the advice!

^You can always put it on the cutlist. That might be quicker.

PS - I'm still planning on helping with the images. I'm typically too busy during the week, so hopefully I can do it this weekend.

OK, then I'll cutlist it. And thanks for the image thing. =)

EDIT: I tried cutlisting it, but since the page doesn't exist yet (it's redlinked), I can't do it. Launching a draft merely allows the discussion page to have the recorded YKTTW history.

Just go ahead and put everything on Characters.Jet Force Gemini. YKTTW's only really for drafting; launching doesn't do anything particularly special (aside from linking to the YKTTW draft, and you can just leave a URL to it in the discussion page).

Alright, then I'll do that. I know this isn't really an overly complicated problem, I'm really sorry. It's just that I tend to do things by the books and I usually fear the idea of trying to do something out of the routine (it's ironic, because I'm a scientist and they often don't expect different results by repeating the same methods.

Once again, thanks. =) When I'm done, I'll edit the post to put here a link to the juat-made tab. EDIT: Here it is!

^ I put the first image in. Shrunk it down to fit, but wasn't sure what to put for a caption.

If you copy the markup I did and use the image uploader (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/imguploader.php) you should be able to do the rest of the images.

Let me know if you need help.

Images in Wiki Pages might also be a good resource.

Thanks! I'm onto uploading and posting the remaining images. =)

EDIT: And it's done now! The images were uploaded and put on the tab!
