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.

You make a separate page.

But

The character has to have a very distinctive mode of speech. (As discussed here before, although not recently.) The character should also have a reasonably varied vocabulary. (That one came about after pages were made for Pokémon.)

Don't touch the main pages.

Others can chime in with what I missed.

We have a thread dedicated to cleaning up Self-Demonstrating Articles, so it might be helpful to ask more specific questions on the thread. I don't think you have to, but they might be able to help you draft an article (I'm not sure, though).

We also have an index of characters with this type of article.

But yeah, I think you can write your draft in Sandbox.Arial (your troper page sandbox) and then move the article to the Self-Demonstrating/ namespace (with a similar naming pattern to SelfDemonstrating.Freeza or SelfDemonstrating.Spock).

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty
