Number two, even if it didn't already exist, the version you tried to submit is a word-for-word copy of TV Trope's main page for the trope. This is ''copyright infringement'' as any changes or additions to the page which we do not already have postdate the fork and TV Tropes' subsequent change of license in 2012. Further, it is also ''plagiarism'' because you are ''not'' the only author of the changes made to that page since the fork. Because All The Tropes and TV Tropes run under different Creative Commons licenses, content created there after 2012 cannot legally be used here without the express written approval of ''all'' the editors who contributed to it.

Number two-A, even if it could be legally used, the page is carelessly and ''badly'' translated into MediaWiki markup, and many links both internal and external are so badly coded that they are useless. It also lacks ''all'' the markup required to integrated into the rest of the wiki, markup which would have been provided for you had you used the [[All The Tropes:ATT Page Creator|ATT Page Creator]] (found on the menu to the left) or the proper [[All The Tropes:Page Templates|page template]]. It is, frankly, an unusable mess.

Number three, it is an attempt at proposing a trope, but was not created in the proper place for new trope candidates. Just like TV Tropes, we have a place where new tropes are created and worked on before they are added to the wiki proper. We call our version the [[:Category:Trope Workshop|Trope Workshop]], which can also be found in the menu to the left. Or you could have just searched on "YKTTW", which would have brought you right there. New trope candidates flung willy-nilly into the main namespace indicate that their authors have not bothered to understand how we do things here.
