Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
For some terminology,
- Trope page — pages with a Main/ weblink, describe Tropes and related concepts.
- Work page — an article about a specific media release, includes subpages.
- Example — description of a scene that relates a work to a trope, go into lists of both of the above. Unless a trope page is on Definition-Only Pages, which isn't in this case.
What you're asking is Crosswicking. Characters.The Magnus Protocol has an example of Parents as People. The rules say that Parents as People now needs a link to Podcast.The Magnus Protocol for cross-reference. You're a free to copypaste the example and format it accordingly.
Also of note,
- Parents as People: Has an infant son, Jack. Celia doesn't actually know who the father is, as the result of "some wild years."
Also for the record, on wiki pages perfect English grammar is mandatory (in a discussion not so much). Correcting spellings is just extra effort nobody likes.

Thank you for the help! And i will pay more attention to my spelling next time xD Have a great day!
Hello! I am completely new to trying my own hand at adding to Trope and Fandom pages and wanted to ask, i have come across several instances of a Trope being linked on a fandom page, but not no link to the fandom exists on the page of the trope?
Like, for example, in the character section for The Magnus Protocol there is a character who is stated to fit the trope called "Parents as People" but the character is not listed on the Trope page for"Parents as People" and i wanted to ask if tgats intentional?
Does that mean that this character or Fandom does somehow not "count" as an occurrence of the Trope?
Or can i just add it to the Trope page in the same way that the others are?
Or am is that against the rules?
(Please dont yell at me over this, i am Very new to this and would never edit something like that without being completely sure its allowed)
Thanks in advance for your replies!
