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.

The Sandbox namespace is what you want, I believe.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody remembers it, who else will you have ice cream with?

To elaborate, create a page at www.tvtropes.org/Sandbox/Website, substituting the website's name, of course. Then when it's ready, copy & paste the content to the appropriate namespace, www.tvtropes.org/Website/Website, or WebOriginal/Website, or WebVideo/Website, or what-have-you. (See Namespace.) Then put the Sandbox page on the Cut List.

If you'd rather have a permanent Sandbox you can continuously edit, you can use the Sandbox namespace on your own troper handle, Sandbox.dsneybuf.

Edit: As far as I can tell, the purpose of the Sandbox namespace isn't actually spelled out anywhere in Administrivia. There is a link to the Wiki Sandbox there, but that's just a page for test edits.

Please do not trope websites unless they function as direct content creators and there is no other, more suitable namespace. We've had to cut quite a few such articles because they were made to be about the website's owners or users.
