Line 56:
To link to another page in the wiki, use double square brackets around the name, like: <code><nowiki>[[Page Name]]</nowiki></code>. If you want to display alternate text in the link, put a pipe character "|" after the name, like so: <code><nowiki>[[Page Name|my link to a wiki page]]</nowiki></code>. Lines starting with an asterisk "*" make new bullet points.
If you need to mark an "spoiler" -- like the ending of the show or a major plot twist so that you have to select it to see it, put it in a spoiler template, like: <code><nowiki>At the end of ''[[Citizen Kane]]'', we find out that {{spoiler| Rosebud is the name of his sled}}.</nowiki></code><ref>This trope is called [[It Was His Sled]], since everyone has known the spoiler ending for the best part of a century already.</ref>
To create new pages, look for a drop down menu on the edit view of the page you are about to make (under the words "select boilerplate" and select the appropriate page layout and click "Load". This will put down the page tags and templates you'll need so you can just focus on adding content.

===Important Note===
As a result of the Great Miraheze Spam Flood that affected multiple wikis starting in December 2020, we have instituted moderation of posts. Your edits and image uploads will ''not'' appear immediately, the way that they would on Wikipedia.
A small number of people are exempt from this anti-spam measure. This is a privilege given to them for consistently good edits and being a Troper in good standing, not a right - it has to be earned, and it can be removed if the Troper decides to go rogue or starts ignoring the [[ATT:Style Guide|Style Guide]] or other wiki policies and guidelines.
