Line 118:
* '''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 — some of the staff there still go into fits of frothing apoplexy at the mere thought of our existence, and we don't want to stress the poor dears any further than they already are.
* Don't create trope entries for tropes we don't have, period. Even -- ''especially'' -- if you don't put link markup on the would-be "trope name". The whole point of a trope entry is to provide a reference to the more detailed description of what the trope is and how it functions which can be found on its page. Entries for tropes that don't exist might as well be nonsense made up out of whole cloth. If you're automoderated, they will be deleted as zero-context examples. And if you ''aren't'' automoderated, edits attempting to cite non-existent tropes will automatically be rejected in Moderation.
** Maybe you're trying to cite a trope that we've renamed. It's your responsibility to find the right trope name in that case. You are allowed to ask mods and other users if you aren't having any luck, though.
