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

Well, if no one cuts for being an incredible mess...
Most practical order seems to be:
First stick it in VideoGame.Adroneft, than custom title it to Adr1ft.
Copy & paste the content, then cutlist the badly made page.
Bullet and properly indent everything.
Remove the whiteouted entries. If the tropes themselves are spoilers, they can be pulled to the new discussion page for a conversation.
Index it somewhere along the way.
Commence whatever other repairs are needed.
Edited by Candi Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry Pratchett"Adr1ft" has a number in the middle. The UR Ls don't often play nice with numbers, even if they're not at the beginning.
So it would be Adr one ft without the spaces, and you would custom title it to Adr1ft. To make sure the name is accurate.
Also, Literature. Adrift (1986) is a published book, and there's really no reason to invite future subpage collisions or preventable moves.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry PratchettRenaming it to "Adroneft" would be a terrible idea.
Nobody is going to think to look for it under that title. Nobody is going to think of trying that when they want to link to it in an example.
I strongly recommend renaming it to "Adrift" (with a disambiguating suffix if you're worried about namespace collision).
...you honestly think a search won't pick it up?
As a trial, I typed "video game adroneft" into general Google search offsite. I hit the 'e' in one, and Google suggested "Adr1ft".
Plug Adr1ft into the description, and it will be essentially foolproof.
Edited by Candi Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry PratchettI agree with Paul A; no one is going to think to look for it as Adroneft instead of Adrift. Just make it as Adrift, maybe with the year or author to prevent confusion with the other page, and custom title it to Adr1ft.
If it's normally spelled "Adr1ft" outside the wiki, then that's clearly the easiest and most obvious option for on the wiki, if it works (which it does). Custom title solves the spacing problem. Adr One Ft is just silly, IMO, even if Google is smart enough to work it out. It's not what people are normally going to type, since most places accept a number in the middle of a name just fine.
And just calling it Adrift when we already have a work with that name is a terrible idea, since the subpages would have to be shared—and anyway, that's not its name.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.Call it Adr1ft.
Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods Of Incremental)

So where do I start? The namespace is incredibly wrong, as it's in Video Games instead of Video Game, and if I remember the rules right, numbers in the namespace are frowned upon, the examples aren't bulleted (apart from a subullet for Interface Screw, weirdly enough), the first example is completely whited out, trope and all, as is the Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! entry, though that one actually does have a visible trope. It's also not indexed.
