Line 87:
* Don't create work pages for [[Show Within a Show|works that only exist inside other works]]. They get documented on the page for the work they come from, as part of that work. Note that if you do this and you're careless or clumsy about it, it could cross the line into a page for a nonexistent work, as noted above -- and might result in a permanent ban.
* '''Do not link to TV Tropes in order to include a trope we don't have documented here.''' If the trope is ''so'' important that you just ''must'' have it in the work page, propose it in the [[:Category:Trope Workshop|Trope Workshop]] and then add it to the page when it passes muster. We ''do not'' link to TV Tropes for any reason -- some of the staff there still go into fits of frothing apoplexy at the mere thought of our existence, and we don't want to stress the poor dears any further than they already are.
=== Namespaces and Media-type Suffixes ===
These can be tricky if you're used to how Wikipedia or TV Tropes does things.
* Don't use TV Tropes-style namespacing when naming the page. That's not how MediaWiki works - we have Categories instead of Namespaces.
* Don't bother with a media type in the page name unless it's absolutely necessary for disambiguation. If there's no page for another work with the same name, then you don't need to add a media type on your new page's name.
