Line 37:
* Don't dump all the examples together in a single lump. If you created the page with the [[MediaWiki:TropesWorkshop|Trope Workshop template]], you should have all the media types already in the page, but if for some reason you [[All The Tropes:Creating a Page by Hand|created it by hand]], you will want to import the [[Template:Media Headers|Media Headers template]] to make it easy to break out the examples by media type.
* Don't forget to delete any unpopulated media types before you launch the trope.
<!--* The general rule of launching is to let the person who proposed the trope launch it, unless they specifically said it was [[Up for Grabs]]. However, if the original creator stops replying to the discussion, and the trope is all ready to go, it's better to act and launch the trope. Similarly, an admin who sees a trope which has been static for a while but has the minimum necessary content may choose to launch it.-->
* Don't forget to add all the categories that the trope belongs in to the page.
* When you've launched the trope, it helps to go to the pages for its examples and add it there (there's nothing wrong with copy-pasting the example text). This is not mandatory, but all too often a trope page withers and dies because nobody even noticed it was added. A good rule of thumb is that a healthy trope page should have at least 15 wicks; if you absolutely can't get it there, you should probably list it on [[Pages Needing Wicks]]. If there are tropes related to the one you launched, add "See also" sections to both tropes. The more pages linked up, the better the [[Wiki Magic]] flows.
