I believe that is the right thing to do. Because if that trope and link to subpage is not listed there, some people might miss that there actually is a subpage, and they would add an example of the trope to the work page.

No, we do not generally recommend that. Subpages are visible in the tabs in the header, and it's the responsibility of editors to put examples in the right place.

If the work shares a subpage with its series rather than having its own, then the tab might not show up.

On the other hand, redirects are a thing.

Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

Okay, thanks for the clarification.

Is the same standard applied to subpages not visible in the tabs but under a dropdown menu (among the tabs), such as ReferencedBy.Game Of Thrones, WhatCouldHaveBeen.Lost?
