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

First of all, Welcome to TV Tropes!
Here are some pages you'll find helpful:
- Text-Formatting Rules
- How to Write an Example
- Zero-Context Example
- What Goes Where on the Wiki
- Example Indentation in Trope Lists
OK, I think I've got a handle on formatting. I made a small change to a YMMV entry for Dawn of X, if anyone wants to double check it.
You did the indentation wrong. All entries are supposed to be at the same level. Take a look at the page now to see how it's mean to look; I fixed it. Also, you're not supposed to refer to one entry in another, because then things'll look bad if the first entry's erased.
Gotcha. Avoid referencing other entries in case the other entry gets deleted. Thanks for checking it!
After reading a few comic book pages, I wanted to add some tropes on the YMMV page, but I've never edited a trope page before and I'm not sure what the proper procedure is. I didn't want to just hit the 'Edit' button and go wild. I've been trying to look for a good rules or procedure list, but the FAQ on the forum wasn't helping. I could have just missed something, I admit. Basically, what do I need to do to start making edits and additions properly?
