Topic on Template talk:Trope

The work pages use the "work" template, not the "trope" template. Since a supermajority of tropes don't have Wikipedia pages, that function isn't supported in the "trope" template.
As for the documentation, it's appearing on my screen. (I use various versions of the Firefox browser depending on which computer I'm using.)
