=== Notes for if You're Creating a Subpage for a Work ===
The various subpage types are set up for specific subsets of information, so we expect to see those types of information on the subpages. If a "Headscratchers" page doesn't list things that puzzle a Troper, or a "Recap" supbagesubpage doesn't have a recap of the work, or a "Heartwarming" page doesn't list examples of things in the work that give at least one Troper a Warm and Fuzzy Feeling, (to name three examples), then readers are going to wonder what's the point of having the subpages.
 
If you set up a subpage, please make sure that the page has the type of information that a casual reader would expect to find on that sort of subpage. Please don't just list tropes on a subpage (not even on a "YMMV" or "Trivia" subpage - please give some context as to ''why'' they're problematic or trivial) – unless a work has so many tropes that we've spun off the work's trope list onto its own page or pages, and not even then if there's an option to add descriptions to the tropes.
