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.
The way I understand it, new entries go at the bottom of the example list for that media except in the following two situations:
1. The page is arranged in alphabetical order, in which case the example is placed according to that.
2. The new example is from a sequel to a work that has an existing entry on the page. I.e. if a page lists an example from BOOK, and you want to add an example from BOOK II, you could put the BOOK II example under the BOOK one instead of at the bottom so that all of the examples from the BOOK series are together on the page.
But other than that, yeah, it should go at the bottom, not the top.
Reaction Image RepositoryAnd the answer to blatant self-promotion is, only on the troper's troper page. Anything else has to follow normal wiki guidelines, with a few extra restrictions on the creator editing the work page, such as no creating YMMV entries.
Entry-pimping or otherwise massively pushing a work you're a major fan of is also bad manners. From the tiniest work with three readers to Lord of the Rings the wiki policy needs to be follows.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry PratchettMission accomplished! However, there are other problems. The WMG entries that mention the book are made to look like conversation, even though the page history clearly shows that the "conversation" was made in a single edit. In addition, it's in way too many genre indexes. Please tell me I can remove it from the Lit Fic page just based off of what I've seen in this editing trail.
[I LIVE AGAIN]

I have been trawling the Administrivia pages for rules and/or guidelines concerning self-promotion, particularly of the brazen sort, and have found nothing. I now ask someone on here for the answer. You see, I have run into some examples of self-promotion that are, as I said, brazen and moderately shameless. If you were to follow the links of this page
, then look at the top of the literature sections of each page, you will find a certain work has been spat out on top of everything else. Even if it isn't against the rules, I would consider it impolite. So, what do?
