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.
Well, start out with the ones you can list very quickly. As long as you have more than three valid examples (with context) you're good to go, and the rest can be added after the fact.

Linking the fanfic would help if you want us to read it.

Listing all the tropes in a story is very likely an impossible task. Nobody is familiar with every single trope we have. There are characterisation tropes, plot-related tropes, body language tropes, language tropes, stock phrases, fanfic-specific tropes and tropes inherited from canon...
Every work page is essentially a work in progress. A decent list of tropes is good enough. If you write a quality article and cross-wick the examples to trope pages, it may even attract other tropers and other readers might add more tropes. (But with fanfics, this doesn't happen that often. My guess is that it would have to be a very influential fic written for a very large fandom.)
I find this article helpful: How to Collect Tropes. If you want help with the article, you can run it through Trope Launch Pad.

^ haha, yes, I'm obsessed with tropes myself ;-)
If you could somehow contact other readers of that fic, you might have better luck. Theoretically you're looking for the same set of people either way — the overlap between "editing tropers" and "readers of this particular fic" — but that set is likely to be more concentrated there than here.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Wanted to add a trope page for a fanfic I really like. But I need help trying to list ALL the tropes found in it. Anybody want to help and up for a good read? Please. I know it’s not likely to list ALL of the tropes in the story, but I figure if more than one person reads it....well if two heads are better than one. Then the same is probably true for eyes/reading.
