Line 12:
** Alternate titles should be set up as redirects to the main page for the work. (Certainly, go ahead and redirect "Toaru Majutsu no Indekkusu" to "[[A Certain Magical Index]]".) See [[All The Tropes:Creating New Redirects|Creating New Redirects]] for more information.
** When naming a work page, if the considerations above do not have you doing otherwise, the name Wikipedia uses for the work is almost always good (although see "Namespaces and Media-type Suffixes", below). For one thing, it makes the "Wikipedia" button that appears at the top of the page work perfectly. If you're not using the Wikipedia page name for some reason, add it to the page template markup using the "wppage" parameter (which would look like <code><nowiki>{{work|wppage=Wikipedia name here}}</nowiki></code>). That way you get to use your name, and still have the Wikipedia button work.
* While we're talking about titles -- make sure you get it right, ''especially'' when defining the page name for the first time. Respect the work's choices in capitalization and punctuation. We don't have to force everything into [[Wiki Words]] and we can have almost every possible punctuation mark in a page name; for TV Tropes refugees, that means there's no need capitalize every word and leave punctuation out. If you do, an admin will almost certainly rename the page within hours ''and'' drop you a note repeating this advice.
* Mention the title of the work somewhere in the first few sentences. Mark it up properly whenever it appears: movies, books, television series, record albums, and other "big" works have their titles in ''italics''; short stories, poems, individual episodes of a TV program, individual songs, and other "small" works have their titles inside "double quotes".
