Line 6:
# Look around to see if it already exists first. Looking at indices is a good way to help find trope pages. ([[Topical Tropes]], which is an index of trope categories, is a great place to start.)
# [[All The Tropes:What Do I Call This Entry?|Come up with a good name.]] The ideal trope name is [[All The Tropes:Clear, Concise, Witty|clear, concise ''and'' witty]], but [[Meat Loaf|two out of three ain't bad]]. "Clear" is the one that most people seem to think is important.
# Think up 3 examples of the trope. Statisticians need at least 3 data points to establish anything, and we do too. See [[All The Tropes:How to Write An Example]] for guidelines on what a good example should (and shouldn't) have.
# Write a brief summary of the trope. Try to include related tropes in the description, which you should have found from step 1.
# Take your write-up and examples, and post it into [[Trope Workshop:Main Page|Trope Workshop:]], using the "Trope Workshop" template to make sure you have all the purely mechanical bits in place. (The shortcut for Trope Workshop is YKTTW:)
