Here you go:

  • Supercell — click the red link and hit the edit button; then continue as you usually would with editing
  • Sandbox.Supercell — if you prefer, you may use the Sandbox namespace first (it's for work-in-progress articles; in the Webcomic namespace, we expect articles in publishable quality — work needs description and at least 3 tropes with proper context)

ETA: Turns out there is already one work with that name: Music.Supercell. We may want to distinguish these two from each other;

owlcyclops, happy to help, but you really should have started with the Sandbox/ page.

Webcomic.Supercell does not meet this wiki's quality standards for articles, and you need to work on your editing skills (namely, you don't link the whole url, but you should just use a CamelCase or curly brackets to get the Wiki Word). Pages also need to be indexed. And I specifically mentioned that a work page has to list at least 3 tropes, while you only listed 2.

I think this should be moved to the Sandbox/ and the Webcomic/ should be cutlisted.

The most common form of disambiguation is to put the debut year of the later created work page on the title.

The rule for disambiguation is that every work gets disambiguated, not just the more recently created page.

A webcomic and a don't need disambiguating Wiki Words, do they? They're already disambiguated by the namespace. Just works with the same name in the same medium.

It's mostly so that two unrelated works aren't forced to share subpages. Webcomic.Supercell and Music.Supercell presumably have nothing to do with each other but due to how the wiki works they'll both use YMMV.Supercell.

Which can be soft-split.
