If it helps, here are a few rules of thumb I use, extracted from various guideline pages in the project namespace:


The first time the work's name appears in its article, it should be bold and italicized (unless it's a shortform work that gets double quotes instead of italics).

*If the page name is different from the way the work is named in the page text, do a quick Google lookup to see which is right. Rename the page if necessary, otherwise change the text.

*If the description is a less than several sentences long, it gets the {{tl|Needs More Info}} template. Replace any links to "Needs a Better Description" with the template, too.

*If it's got a "Needs" template on both sides of {{tl|tropelist}}, add the {{tl|workstub}} template at the top of the page next to the page type template.
⚫
*There should be only one blank line and ''no'' rule line before {{tl|tropelist}}, and no blank lines after it.

⚫
*We should rarely if ever have two blank lines or more in a row.

*Categories should always include a "top level" medium category, like "TV Series", "Literature", and so on.

⚫
*The category for the work itself should match the page name ''exactly''.
