Line 93:
** Exception: Some works from Classical Greece and other ancient civilizations are lost and are only known through summaries and commentaries that survived in other works. It's okay to document these with what little is known about them.
* Similarly, don't create a page for a work ''that doesn't exist and never existed at all''. Fraudulent pages for non-existent works ''will'' be detected and deleted, often within hours, and you ''will'' be permanently banned for it. Don't laugh, we've had at least a couple users who've come in and tried to slip "counterfeit" work pages, falsely attributed to real people, into the wiki
* Don't create a work page for an incomplete work of your own to use as a notepad or development space. That's what your Sandbox is for.
Line 106:
* 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
=== 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
* 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.
