Stuff that doesn't actually exist goes in Darth Wiki. If you want to do something like this, it helps to recruit interested tropers in the forums or your project will go exactly nowhere.

EDIT Help...? Please...?

I think I accidently flubbed up this https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DarthWiki/ptitle

I'm not sure how the title works, but is it just a new system I screwed up badly?

Also, when I go the the heartwarming moments page, I can't get back to the main page. Also for the YMMV page... I'm sorry to be a bother, but how do I fix this? (^_^)

Ptitle? Not a new system. It's an old one that isn't supposed to be used anymore.

Not sure, as I don't create articles much, but I think you'd create a version of your page without the punctuated title, get a custom title for it (there's a tool) and cutlist the current one.

...

I don't know what that means. Sorry. (^_^)'

I'll try to figure it out, but I would really appreciate any help!

Well, for starters, your show's title is Hello Megan!.

So go to Hello Megan! and edit that page, pasting the source of ptitle (the page you already created) there. Don't delete the text of the article from the page it's on, though, because pageblanking is an automatic ban, I believe. Then you go here to request a custom title for that page. Finally, put the old one on the Cut List here.

Hope that helps.

"pasting the source of the ptitle"

What does that mean? (I'm sorry!) Is it the page code, i.e. what I put in to make a proper page? Or is it something else? :facepalm:

Yeah it's the page code. Go to the page, hit "view source", copy it and paste.

You seem to have already done so, in fact.

Well, I guessed, so...

Last question, I promise! I'm trying to make an IJBM page, a character page, and a WMG page for it, but there not showing up on the main page as little icons, nor the the funny, heartwarming or awesome pages automatically link back to the main page. le sigh. Do I need to set the pages as a different type? :has tried reading the how-to-do-things instructions and just got confused:

The problem there is that the main page is on Darth Wiki rather than Main. I'm not sure if there's a workaround.

"The problem there is that the main page is on Darth Wiki rather than Main." — Is it? Or is it just that the page type hadn't been set to "work" yet?
