Line 2:
One of the few guidelines for this informal wiki is that [[Trope Workshop:Main Page|the Trope Workshop]] is strongly recommended for tropes pages. It's to get feedback from the Wiki [[Hive Mind]] on if these pages are valid (or "tropable"), and if so to get help with refining these pages. It is not a strict requirement, we don't really do many of those here, but there are several guidelines such as the [[Three Rules of Three]] to help you make a decent page that won't have to be merged or renamed at a later date.
However, if you want to make a page about a work (a [[Live-Action TV|TV Series]], [[Film]], [[Literature]], [[Video Game]], etc.) or about [[Creators]] involved in making works, then the fact that [[There Is No Such Thing as Notability]] comes into play. As long as these people and their works exist and are published ([[Special:Mypage/Title of Work|Unpublished works have their own dark little corner]]), then they have a right to a page. Do make sure we don't have it already -- although if it's part of a series, the entire series might be on one page and you can raid that for material for the individual work page.
You therefore do not need to get any approval for the page or show that it's been defined to some level. Whether or not it went into the Trope Workshop or the forums would not be considered and may not be optimal -- we don't really have a defined system (neither optional nor mandatory) for how to make a work's page, other than the usual guidelines for all pages in the [[All The Tropes:Style Guide|Style Guide]].
