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.
From personal experience, pages shouldn't be created just to cut them.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
If it's really necessary I just pothole, eg. if I wanted René Descartes to show up with a custom title I would format as [[UsefulNotes/ReneDescartes René Descartes]].
^ Then correcting the wicks when the page is actually created?

Or just not bother. I don't think this kind of operation is really necessary until we actually have a proper page up and going.

Also, it doesn't work. A page with a custom title that then gets cut does not modify the redlink with the custom title (although it is still stored for when the page is recreated).

Making a barebones page just to give it a custom title and then cutting it...
Not a good idea? Or okay? Like, for redlinks that want decapitalization, such as with "and"-s that would otherwise be "And", or for numbers?
