It's pretty obvious from the 20K of material that you just plunked down in Byronic Hero that you're a TV Tropes Refugee, or at least familiar with how they do things there. It's also pretty clear that you have no idea how we do things here. Your contribution had a pretty random assortment of CamelCase links (AKA "Wiki Words", which we don't use) and completely uncoded links where it looks like you might have started a conversion but then quit in the middle. There were a goodly handful of other issues, as well.
Now don't worry, I went in and fixed everything I spotted (although I did comment out an example that wasn't an example so much as a "this guy was mysterious and cool"). However, it will gain you much credit with us admins if you would please read the following pages and apply the information in them to any future contributions you might make:
- All The Tropes:New User Introduction
- All The Tropes:So You're a TV Tropes Refugee
- All The Tropes:Style Guide
- All The Tropes:How to Write An Example
It is especially important that you realize that MediaWiki markup is different from PMWiki markup (which is what TV Tropes uses). This page is a good concise list of all the formatting options available and what they do, with the most common ones at the top.
Much more important than that is something you will have come across on So You're a TV Tropes Refugee -- copyrights. Because of the differences in licenses, you cannot legally copy text from TVT to All The Tropes unless you are the sole author of the material you are copying, or have the explicit permission of every person who wrote part of it. We check the contributions of new users against TV Tropes, especially very large contributions like yours. As far as we can tell, your contribution wasn't cut-and-pasted from TV Tropes, so you're safe there. But it's good to make sure you know ahead of any other contributions.
If you are planning on creating entire pages any time soon, we strongly recommend that you use the Page Creator (which can be found in the menu along the left edge of every page, as the first item under "Troping Utilities"). Using the page creator will start you with a skeleton page with all the necessary markup to make it look and work like a proper ATT page. It will also gain you credit with the staff, who won't have to go in and fix your pages after you think you're done.
If you're going to create a page, we also suggest you read whatever's the most relevant of these pages:
- All The Tropes:Trope Workshop Guidelines
- All The Tropes:Works Page Guidelines
- All The Tropes:Creator Page Guidelines
- All The Tropes:Uploading and Adding an Image to a Page
Finally we strongly recommend that you read All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here. This isn't a threat -- this is the wiki policy strictly controlling how and when user bans can be applied by an Admin. We want you to be aware that unlike TVT, we do not ban users on whims or because we're cranky.
Once again, welcome to the wiki, and we look forward to more contributions from you!
