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 need to have at least three tropes and a description in order to make the page to begin with.
You could always make a Sandbox to draft the pages before moving them to the right page, or put them in the Trope Launch Pad for feedback.
There was a discussion
about these pages earlier ...
Having read the above thread, OP, now that you're willing to talk about this, why did you blank Film.Brotherhood when it had valid examples?

Just for clarification, the pages remained without tropes for at least a month while the image caption was serially tweaked.
Yeah, DL, if you were going to add tropes, you should've done it before messing around with an image for many, many, many edits.
I understand but it was taken down without any notice. I promise I can make the trope pages work but you should have given me notice before you took them down seeing as I’m the only one making edits on those works. Please can you put them back and I will make the necessary additions to not violate the terms. Just give me time.
The rules do state that if a page doesn't have enough tropes, then it runs the risk of being sent to the cut list. That's your notice, and it's enough notice. It's your responsibility to read the rules. It's not that reasonable to ask them to send an individual notice when, in the rules, you've already been told.

^^ DL, the page sat for at least a month, probably more, without any edits save your obsessive tweaking of the image. You had plenty of time to add three (the bare minimum) tropes with full context.
And again you still haven't said why you blanked the page
I didn’t I moved the tropes on the page to another page because there was an issue with names, I didn’t know how to sort it out without moving the page and because the other film called Brother that is on the page Film/Brotherhood has a different foreign language name and you were using the US name not it’s actual name, I thought it would be better to create a separate page for it with it’s actual name and use the Brotherhood page for the work I was working on
You might also want to explain this: why does your page for Stormzy look suspiciously similar to...
I dunno, the same musician's wikipedia page?
^^ That's not how it works. You can't just remove content from one page and make it all about an unrelated work, even if they do share a title. That's what disambigs are for.
Plus, you didn't move the content elsewhere, at least not as far as I can tell.
I moved the tropes to Film/Ikhwene which is the name of the film in it’s native language.
Regarding the Stormzy page I’ll make edits to the bio everything else is my own work, sorry for plagiarising it was a mistake.
^ Okay, but that's not how our localization policy works. I don't know what the administrivia page for the policy is, but if a work has been localized in English, you need to use its English name as the title of the page.
Also, courtesy link. To link to articles with single-word names, you need to use {{double curly brackets}}.

Ok thank you very much and apologies, is there anything I should do to rectify these mistakes?
^ Yes there is. You should carefully read through the Administrivia pages. I especially recommend the "Editing Basics" section. There's Tips For Editing, How to Write an Example and Text Formatting Rules. Of even bigger importance is the "Don'ts" section. Note that you can get suspended by mods if you don't follow those guidelines. Especially writing Natter, participating in Edit Wars or making Justifying Edits and so on will lead to suspension. If you get suspended, the mods will only lift the suspension after you convinced them that you know what the issue was and will not make the mistake again. Therefore, it makes sense to read the guidelines first.
After you read the guidelines you can go through your edits and fix those where you violated the guidelines. If you're not sure, there are dedicated forum threads where you can ask.

Thank You
I've taken the liberty to erase the plagiarized content from Stormzy's page. If anyone wants to rewrite the rapper's bio, use your own source.
We do not tolerate plagiarism kindly on this website. Moderators are known to boot copycats and content thief in a moment's notice.
^ I practically saved your ass from a potential suspension, you have anything else to say?
V Got it, Mike. :D

Tone, Robert. At least say "rescued your derriere."
I will say thank you and I’m sorry for plagiarising it was a mistake and I altered the text afterwards earlier before you deleted it. I am grateful and I’m sorry for my mistakes I am new to this.
Please may I try again, I promise to not plagiarise and I promise to Do Better
You can, but this query is getting a bit too long.
Regarding Film/The Hood Trilogy Film
Need help for the work Film/The Hood Trilogy as both of the pages I made for the sequels were taken down before I could add any additional tropes or descriptions and without notice. I also need to create a new page for Film/Brotherhood as that is the name of the second sequel of the film.
