All The Tropes:Trope Workshop Guidelines: Difference between revisions

 

== New Trope Checklist ==

# [[All The Tropes:What Do I Call This Entry?|Come up with a good name.]] The ideal trope name is [[All The Tropes:Clear, Concise, Witty|clear, concise ''and'' witty]], but [[Meat Loaf|two out of three ain't bad]]. "Clear" is the one that most people seem to think is important.

# Write a brief but descriptive summary of the trope. Try to include related tropes in the description, which you should have found from step 1. '''Note:''' ''This is required!'' Without a description, nobody else can add examples because nobody else knows what counts as an example. A trope candidate which is just a list of examples without a description ''will'' be subject to deletion. ''Also, "brief" does not mean a single sentence''. We need somewhat more information than that.

# Look into what categories the trope fits into, and add them to the page.

 

 

Pay attention to the Discussion page for your candidate. Other wiki members (including members of the wiki admin staff) may post questions or point out issues with your trope. As the creator, it's your responsibility to respond and, if needed, address any problems that may exist. Be aware that the Trope Workshop is ''not'' a "fire-and-forget" thing -- if you simply plop a candidate into the workshop and then forget about it, it may be deleted unless other users decide to rescue it. You are expected to shepherd your candidate all the way to launch.
