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.
See the Namespace article. In this case you want the Literature namespace for both works. Literature.The Collector and Literature.Merlin.
The main articles should be edited to include entries to your articles to help people find them.

Thank you! 'The Collector' has been added. In the case of 'Merlin', I sent a proposal of renaming but forgot to mention the namespace, but I hope the mod will see the problem and put the entry in the right drawer. If not, I'll try to rename it once more. Sorry for the mess.
You can rename it yourself. Copy the article markup to the correct place and make the old one a redirect. Make sure to fix the wicks!

Thanks, it's done :)
Dear Hive Mind,
I've prepared a work description for 'The Collector' by John Fowles, which is said to be a trope namer for 'The Collector' trope (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/TheCollector)
, but I can't add it because the work has the same name as the trope, and the trope has its own site. (Of course, I could just drop the 'the', but the problem may repeat in future.)
Some time ago I had similar problem when I was adding the entry on 'Merlin' by Robert Nye (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MerlinDarklingChildOfVirginAndDevil)
, because there already was the trope called Merlin (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Merlin)
as well as the work with this name (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Merlin)
. So, I listed the book under its longer title, which is not very well-known and looks strange without punctuation.)
I couldn't find any general rule applying to such cases. Is there any?
