Help:Tropes and Genres/Template

From Fanlore
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This is a sample page structure for a page about a trope or genre. Examples: Gen, Whump, and Mpreg. When you create a page, you can copy the text below and paste it into the blank edit window to begin editing the page.

All of the wording in this template is intended as a placeholder for the actual content of your page - but you don't have to use all of it! Replace the placeholder text with whatever you want to put on the page, and if you don't have anything to put there, you can leave out that section. Not all of these sections will be applicable since some are specific to either a trope or a genre. Please don't leave the placeholder text in the page!
