And it should go without saying, but do ''not'' create pages for fictitious or bogus creators. Doing so will get you [[All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here|permanently banned]].

== Proper English Grammar and Usage ==
This is ''important'', perhaps more important than anything else on this page: If your proposed new page reads like it was written by ChatGPT, Google Translate or a dyslexic ten-year-old (or any/all of them working together) it will either get rejected (if your edits are still being moderated) or reverted<ref>Although any user who is not subject to Moderation ought to be writing in proper English already -- it's one of the requirements for leaving "Moderated" status.</ref>. Although wiki admins have been known to step in and do their best to translate user contributions from whatever they were written in to proper English, it is ''not'' their responsibility to do so -- it is that of the user(s) who want to see their edit or page live in the wiki. If your text is so badly written a reader can't figure out what it means, or the tropes on it are so garbled their relevance to the creator cannot even be guessed at, your page has ''failed'' at what it is supposed to do.

Illiterate contributions ''will'' be rejected. And refusing to improve your contributions when this is pointed out to you is grounds for a ban.
