You can add more categories, of course. We encourage at least the medium of the work (Film, Live-Action TV, Literature, Anime, Western Animation, and so on) be added as a category.
If the work's title starts with A, An, or The, you <s>can</s> should also add a DEFAULTSORT to the very end of the page. The code for this is <code><nowiki>{{DEFAULTSORT:Pagename-without-the-leading-article, Article}}</nowiki></code>. (For example, "[[The Wind in the Willows]]" has the tag "DEFAULTSORT:Wind in the Willows, The".)

That "worksubpagefooter" at the end puts all the required categories and links onto the page. Please ensure it is the very last thing on the page (with the exception of any custom categories you're adding to the page and a DEFAULTSORT tag if the work starts with A, An, or The). A warning: "worksubpagefooter" breaks if you take it more than one level of subpages deep -- so please don't use it on Recap pages.
== Tropes Pages ==
First, read the [[All The Tropes:Trope Workshop Guidelines|Trope Workshop Guidelines]]. If you're still going to create the page (instead of [[Take It to the Forums|taking it to the forums]]), please start it in the [[:Category:Trope Workshop|Trope Workshop]]. You can do this by

If you find you're putting almost all of the examples under Video Games (which is certainly possible), you might want to

If you find you're putting a large number of examples under Tabletop Games, you might want to add this list of subheaders under the Tabletop Games header:

Line 126 ⟶ 148:
<nowiki>{{tropesubpagefooter}}</nowiki></pre>
That "tropesubpagefooter" at the end puts all the required categories and links onto the page. Please ensure it is the very last thing on the page (with the exception of any custom categories you're adding to the page and a DEFAULTSORT tag if the trope starts with A, An, or The). A warning: "{{tl|tropesubpagefooter}}" breaks if you take it more than one level of subpages deep - use {{tl|tropesub-subpagefooter}} if the page is two levels deep, which is possible if you're creating a page of examples from a particular franchise or other large work. (If the page is three levels deep, you're creating something that we never planned for.)
Once you've made a subpage for examples of a trope, go back to the trope page and add the <code><nowiki>{{examples on subpages}}</nowiki></code> tag on a new line ''immediately'' before the existing <code><nowiki>{{examples}}</nowiki></code> tag. (If you've moved all of the tropes off of the main trope page, you can delete the <code><nowiki>{{examples}}</nowiki></code> tag.)
== Category Pages ==
You've created a new page, and (assuming you actually did put <nowiki>[[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki> at the end of the page) you see that the name of the page is in the Category list, in red.
Click on that red link to create the new category. Luckily, the basic text is ''exactly the same'' no matter what sort of page it was that you just created, so just copy and paste these two lines, then save off the new category:
