Hi there! Nice of you to drop by our own page! You didn't know we have a page? Well, we always had one!Regular visitors here won't need to read the introduction. You know what to do.If you're not a regular here, TV Tropes is a wiki documenting, in a fairly informal manner, the various conventions of fiction. Our full history can be found on our Timeline page.Of course, like any sizable work, we've collected our own fair share of tropes. And remember, Trope-tan is watching you, tropers!Now let's get editing! | |

Supernatural Gold Eyes | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_1186fcb5 | comment |
This Very Wiki's standards for what is a trope and what isn't have changed considerably from when the wiki was founded. Since the late 2010s, quite a lot of tropes have been disambiguated or otherwise declared to not be a trope after all, including "character has a specific sexuality or gender identity", "character uses a certain weapon", and the appearance of specific animals in works (usually under the "Everything Is Better With..." style of naming). To give you an idea of how different things used to be, in 2009, there were individual trope pages for specific eye colours (not even rare cases such as Supernatural Gold Eyes, but common eye colours). | |

| TV Tropes (Website) / int_13d7a65e | comment |
The Artifact: The "deadpan" in Deadpan Snarker. Due to Trope Decay, a deadpan delivery is no longer part of the trope. Back in its early days, TV Tropes used to run on PmWiki, but over the years the website's code was modified such that no PmWiki code remains, and all that is left is the word "pmwiki" in TV Tropes URLs. | |

Title Drop | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: Usually occurs in the longer-winded articles. Don't link back to the same article you're Title Dropping, though. That's considered bad formatting. This was even Lampshaded in the I Am Not Making This Up page, as many entries used Pot Holes to the page for no really sensible reason. Now that page is gone. Title Drop with care. On Better Than It Sounds, the Star Wars films get Title Drops rephrased in complicated language. | |

Overly Narrow Superlative: The page on Crack Fic describes this as "the greatest work of pornography ever written. About Tetris." The page for Axe Cop calls it the best comic by a six-year-old you'll ever read! As a bonus, This Real Trailer, Fake Movie refers to it as "the greatest action movie ever made...written by a five-year-old boy." The page for Clue calls it "possibly the best movie about a board game ever made in 1985". The article for "the most evil Georgian in human history." The article for "the most evil painter in human history." The article on Dragonball Abridged describes the series as "The most popular Abridged version of DBZ made (so far)." The page for Ghostbusters (1984) refers to it as "the greatest Lovecraftian comedy of the 1980's." In several places, we refer to the line "Exit, Pursued by a Bear" as "the most famous piece of stage direction ever". | |

The Scottish Trope | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_216c045b | comment |
The Scottish Trope: There is, in fact, a trope that qualifies as The Scottish Trope. Many of you will remember, with either fondness or horror, a certain page on this wiki by the name of I Am Not Making This Up. This now also goes for tropes which have been moved to the Darth Wiki. We'd name some, but they're not supposed to be linked on the main site. Also, Flame Bait tropes, which aren't even allowed in the YMMV tabs anymore. Perhaps this Opera error message◊ sums it up in a somewhat disturbing and/or scary manner. note The computer crashed because he had visited the page about The Scottish Trope. | |

| TV Tropes (Website) / int_260926c3 | comment |
Failure Is the Only Option: Anything listed on the Permanent Red Link Club is basically this. If a trope or page gets so misused, become a magnet for racial slurs and personal attacks, and the like; and the page cannot be fixed, the entire page (and in some occasions, the entire trope) will be deleted and is never to be used again. Forever. | |

Ascended Glitch | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_26ba32a3 | comment |
Ascended Glitch: Secondary tropes for video examples. Originally, you were expected to upload multiple copies of a video if it fit multiple tropes, but some tropers noticed that there was nothing stopping them from adding tropes to the media sources section of a video, which would make it appear on multiple trope pages. This was initially frowned upon, and such videos had the extra tropes removed, but it was later changed so tropes (or any page in the Main namespace) are listed separately from media sources, and is now allowed. | |

The Oldest Ones in the Book | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_2a3adfd | comment |
There are a number of troper practices and memes that were once very common, but have since become rarer or even outright banned due to tightening standards. For instance, many trope pages would point out an example from a particularly old work, noting that it "makes this one of The Oldest Ones in the Book". This phrasing was once so common that later uses of it would simply Pot Hole the phrase "makes this..." (or similar) to The Oldest Ones in the Book, on the assumption that everyone would be familiar with what that "made this". Eventually the problem was solved by turning the page into an index of various time periods where tropes originated; with more pages to link to, it became less of a meme to link to them in general. | |

The Permanent Red Link Club was called that because all links that were listed there were doomed to be permanently red. Now that links show up as blue as long as an article of a given title exists in any namespace, several PRLC members, most commonly subpages and former Main namespace redirects, are actually blue. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: This wiki has a search toolbar for Firefox. While initially it seems like it would ruin your life even further and be great to edit articles, it's much faster to just use the search bar at the top of the page or just Google "TVTropes" rather than use the dropdown menu and enter it. | |

Logic Bomb | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_31083edb | comment |
Logic Bomb: Some tropes seem to contradict each other, such as for example There Are No Girls on the Internet and Most Fanfic Writers Are Girls, It Always Rains at Funerals and It's Always Sunny at Funerals, or Trailers Always Spoil and Never Trust a Trailer. They do not form paradoxes, however, since tropes are not logical truths. Firstly, tropes generally hold for one or more works note (here, "works" is meant in the widest sense possible, including memes and general attitudes: the first pair above are about memes) and it is understood that they do not necessarily hold anywhere else (which is why we have example lists): the trope XIsY is almost always shorthand for "it can be non-trivially observed that in some works, X is Y". Next, even when looking into those works where the trope appears, it may reflect anything from fictional "fact" (X is indeed Y) to tendency, possibly subverted in a twist (X tends to be Y, but whoops) to belief (X is held to be Y, at least by one character). Sometimes we make an example of a work because it averts X is Y, and that's still not paradoxical. In the Real Life sections of tropes, or in the case of a trope that deals with the real world (as the last pair in the list above does) contradictions could suggest a possible paradox, but most such can be explained by (acceptable) vagueness and bias. | |

Recursive Reality | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_352151a3 | comment |
Recursive Reality: At the amazingly fast rate we're adding tropes to this site (as well as some other stuff), this site will soon contain all the tropes that could possibly exist (and those that can't either). But if we put all the tropes that (don't) exist together, we are, in fact, describing the universe (and, indeed, all possible universes that can and cannot exist), so effectively, this site will contain all the universe within it, including this site! Which, in turn, will contain this site within it, and this site will also contain this site within it, ad infinitum. How's that for a Mind Screw? | |

PostModernism | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_48f0ca7f | comment |
Postmodernism: Plenty of examples. Since the site is a catalog of devices used in fiction, the whole site is this. Anytime you see a Meta Example, it's Post-Modern. Especially if it's on the Post-Modernism page. Whoa. Trippy. Further complicating matters is that if you deny that your Post-Modern statement is itself Post-Modern, you've simply made it even more Post-Modern. In particular this makes it very tricky to parody as any sufficiently involved parody of Post-Modernism is, in itself, a Post-Modern comment on itself. No PoMo.note "Not that I'm postmodern or anything." This article blames Post-Modernism as one of the reasons why TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life, since the style of this wiki references fictions one after the other, and dissolves the boundaries between fiction and Real Life. Besides the lack of notability, the relentless self-referencing of massively interlinked trope definitions with potholes parodying the purpose of every article and invokedturning trope names into Fan Speak (along with the medium of hypertext and the concept of a wiki itself) is also a very post-modern concept. | |

Abuse Is Okay If It's Female On Male, for example, was changed because they were afraid people would take it literally (this change was enforced by Google, on threat of pulling all ad revenue), yet some I Thought It Meant titles, such as Men Are the Expendable Gender, are still in play. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: This very wiki used to list normal, YMMV, Flame Bait and Trivia examples all together on work pages until mid-2010. After that there was a period of a few weeks where both YMMV and Flame Bait examples were completely banned from work pages and could only be listed on trope pages, but it quickly became obvious that this wasn't going to work out and resulted in the current format of separate YMMV (and later Trivia) pages, with Flame Bait examples staying restricted to the trope pages (and sometimes not even being allowed there either). We used to have Troper Tales on this site too, but we prefer not to talk about that. There are a number of troper practices and memes that were once very common, but have since become rarer or even outright banned due to tightening standards. For instance, many trope pages would point out an example from a particularly old work, noting that it "makes this one of The Oldest Ones in the Book". This phrasing was once so common that later uses of it would simply Pot Hole the phrase "makes this..." (or similar) to The Oldest Ones in the Book, on the assumption that everyone would be familiar with what that "made this". Eventually the problem was solved by turning the page into an index of various time periods where tropes originated; with more pages to link to, it became less of a meme to link to them in general. This Very Wiki's standards for what is a trope and what isn't have changed considerably from when the wiki was founded. Since the late 2010s, quite a lot of tropes have been disambiguated or otherwise declared to not be a trope after all, including "character has a specific sexuality or gender identity", "character uses a certain weapon", and the appearance of specific animals in works (usually under the "Everything Is Better With..." style of naming). To give you an idea of how different things used to be, in 2009, there were individual trope pages for specific eye colours (not even rare cases such as Supernatural Gold Eyes, but common eye colours). Some early versions of TV Tropes pages had a lot more zero-context examples than they do now. One example of this is the page on The Simpsons; the old version of the page had several examples with zero context or only barely any context at all, while the current version of the page describes the trope examples with more depth. Meanwhile, because of the sheer size of TVT as it goes further into the 21st century, it's possible and perhaps even not uncommon to find pages dedicated to older and less prominent works that still contain examples of several of the above issues - out of place YMMV tropes are uncommon due to an internal flagging system that indicates their presence, but are still not completely unknown; wild trivia tropes are somewhat more common, and contextless example entries can still pop up quite often on pages concerning media prior to 2010. | |

Gratuitous Japanese: A lot less than previously, given a conscious effort since the site began to make trope names more accessible and obvious, however a number of tropes (e.g. Yandere) are still principally referred to by Japanese words for anime character stereotypes that simply don't make sense unless one is already immersed in the culture - either through lack of desire to change them, or simply because there's no better consensus term that's been agreed upon. | |

"Double, Double" Title: If a work with a Protagonist Title receives a Character Sheet, and then the protagonist has so many tropes they get split into their own page, this usually happens. An example would be SpongeBob SquarePants: SpongeBob SquarePants, which repeats the name "SpongeBob SquarePants" twice due to it being both the name of the show and the name of the character. | |

Network Decay | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_711e9c91 | comment |
Network Decay: Despite the name, this site no longer focuses on television. It's added movies, books, board games and video games to its lineup. Lately, it's even been moving away from tropes, adding Useful Notes, Audience Reactions, Trivial Facts, writer's tools, humor pages, and with a few exceptions, Real Life examples and material. This wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing. What's happened here is more expansion than decay; since we're not dealing with a finite number of time slots, we didn't have to remove any of the original material to make room for the new stuff. Given that most TV tropes originated in literature, mythology, and theater, such expansion makes sense. It gives perspective on the tropes. Troper Tales and Fetish Fuel were big examples within the site itself. They were originally intended to be examples of tropes in real life, and the ultimate reason for their removal was because they became more of an anonymous blog and discussion forum. See also our own section of invokedWhy Fandom Can't Have Nice Things. | |

Creator's Culture Carryover | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_74a7d2d | comment |
Uses of phrases like "our part of the world" and so on, especially when used to contrast with other cultures and nations, reveal the assumptions of the troper responsible. Usually involves Creator's Culture Carryover or other Western perspective and neglects the existence of non-Western audiences or tropers. | |

Forced Meme | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_74c7bf4e | comment |
Forced Meme: Occasionally someone tries to sneak his or her idea for a meme on to a page, sometimes going so far as to interfere with other entries to force them into the limelight. Also occurs in the naming of tropes. It's a very real debate in the forums, from time to time, whether the purpose of this wiki includes promoting specific fan-speak terms so as to become recognized across all fandoms. Following the same principle, occasionally it happens that the creator of some fan-work writes a trope page for their work themselves. This isn't bad on its own, but in some cases it is incredibly obvious that the page would not have been written if not for the creator's own ego. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero! | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_7fbb2a3 | comment |
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: This wiki has a Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment meant to prevent any Flame Wars (read that page for more). Unfortunately in some situations, some tropers completely ignore this rule, leading to the mods locking the page most likely for good... which means nobody gets to add and edit future tropes. In extreme cases, there's the Permanent Red Link Club, in which the tropes are so misused, become a magnet for racial slurs and personal attacks, and the like that not only the page is locked, the page (and in some occasions, the entire trope) gets deleted, never to be used again. Forever. And in less extreme but still unfortunate cases, Real Life examples can be cut and prohibited from a page if things get controversial enough. On that note, there's also the Example Sectionectomy, which examples are either cut entirely or relegated to a separate area such as Darth Wiki or the Discussion tab if things get nasty. And if the examples had previously been divided into multiple pages, then the deleted Real Life examples won't even appear in the page history for you to browse. This is the reason why invokedFetish Fuel and Troper Tales no longer exist. Some people couldn’t resist putting controversial and creepy content in invokedFetish Fuel and Troper Tales, which lead to these sections being sent off to separate off-site wikis. Troper Tales existing in the first place. Troper Tales was only created to keep tropers from writing their own tales on the main wiki. Troper Tales ruined the reputation of TV Tropes and made the website a laughingstock of half the Internet. It was also known for attracting people who wrote stories that sounded creepy, filled with bile; psychotic, racist, sexist material; and ego-stroking. The admins could have either warned the tropers or banned them for writing personal tales instead of creating troper tales, since Troper Tales only reinforced the habit. The wiki used to have a "strike format", but it was eventually disabled as people were using it simply to sneak in Take Thats and such. Texts that were previously striked are now hidden texts. However, the strike format is still usable in the forums. Earlier there were "super secret spoilers", which was the equivalent of making the text white. This was also removed in part due to people actually using it for relevant information that reader couldn't see without highlighting the whole page. Headscratchers used to be called "It Just Bugs Me", but was renamed because people kept misinterpreting it as "Why does <insert anything here> suck so much?". | |

We Will Use WikiWords in the Future: This very wiki is having this effect, with more readers and editors of the site casually referencing trope names InCamelCase, which in literary (pop culture) discussions are incredibly more recognized as TV Tropes terms.

I Would Say If I Could Say: Mod Madrugada's forum signature sometimes is, "If I had a piece of chalk, I'd work it out on a wall, if I had a wall." She took it from the third book n P.C.Hodgell's Chronicles of the Kencyrath series, Seeker's Mask. The context is Jame, the heroine trying to sort out how she's related to another character, in a culture that places a great deal of importance on blood relationships. | |

You Keep Using That Word | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_92d7976 | comment |
You Keep Using That Word: Egregious has been used so egregiously on this wiki that it has its own page. Similarly Your Mileage Will Vary is used as a way of referring to Your Mileage May Vary taken up a notch on especially controversial issues that reach a point where there is no middle ground. Your Mileage May Vary comes from car commercials that say consumers might get a different amount of mileage than is advertised, and on this wiki, means that viewers might not agree with the statement. Using "Your Mileage Will vary" implies unanimous disagreement rather than inevitable controversy. The word Trope does not come from TV Tropes, and like "subversion" its meaning in the real world is different than on this site. In reality, "trope" does not mean "storytelling device" but "the use of a word to have a meaning different than the usual one." | |

The "The" Title Confusion | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_93d99453 | comment |
The "The" Title Confusion: This wiki has run into this a few times; "The" is usually omitted from a name unless it is a character type (The Dragon, The Pollyanna) or part of a set phrase (The Blind Leading the Blind). Back when character names were accepted as trope titles, "The" was used to distinguish, say, The Ralph Wiggum (a humorously stupid person) from Ralph Wiggum (the Simpsons character). Pages' search-engine descriptions take such forms as "The The Starscream trope as used in popular culture, with a list of examples from all media." Or better yet, for this page, "The The The Title Confusion trope as used in popular culture, with a list of examples from all media." | |

Shaped Like Itself | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_94680696 | comment |
Shaped Like Itself: When a pothole is found in a page and leads to the same page. There are also several times where a pothole is just the trope name, except with the caps removed, ex: Suspect Is Hatless as "suspect is hatless". Some tropers work on cleaning those up. TLP entries as well, such as "Gesturing with a Weapon: Somebody gestures at people with a weapon". For that matter, a lot of Exactly What It Says on the Tin articles can sound a bit like this. On this wiki, Star Trek: The Original Series is referred as TOS, and the time it takes place is referred to as the TOS era, or 'the The Original Series era'. | |

Damn You, Muscle Memory! | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_963086ce | comment |
Damn You, Muscle Memory!: The forums: Most forums use BBCode, while the TV Tropes forum uses wiki markup. See those buttons at the top of the page? Sometimes, during a site update, they get rearranged. Then you find yourself sending a private message when you want to see a trope's history page. Sometimes an announcement comes up as a banner at the top of the page, but it only appears some of the time. Most of the time it's not a big problem but if you're wandering the site with the random page button, and the banner is there and suddenly it goes away, shifting the rest of the site up, you'll end up suddenly hitting a dead-end at your profile page and having to go back. Different parts of the site have different buttons anyway. All of us wiki addicts know the frustration of going to a non-wiki site and finding an incorrect bit of info, or grammar error, or something that could have been phrased better and realizing that there is no "edit" feature on the site. | |

Keep Circulating the Tapes | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_9bf48b17 | comment |
Keep Circulating the Tapes: invoked This wiki has a fake entry that is a parody of this trope's prevalence in the anime fandom: supposedly, Ichiban no Tempura is a Cult Classic that was only aired in Japan once, and all those who pirated the tapes died mysterious deaths, so only the most hardcore otakus know of its existence. The truth is that no such anime exists. | |

Overly Long Gag | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_a188ac4b | comment |
The forums filter "tl;dr" to "laconic version:". In the past they filtered it to "Sorry, I skipped some posts.", and earlier it was “I am too lazy, or possibly too incapable, to actually read anything. I resent the fact that this makes me seem like an inconsiderate person and hereby pledge to resume taking my ADHD medication.� It had to be changed because often the original post ended with "tl;dr: summary of the post", so "tl;dr" had two possible meanings. | |

Revealing Cover-Up | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_a1b0c1c2 | comment |
Revealing Cover-Up: This very wiki sometimes falls into this, through badly placed spoiler tags. For example, if someone apparently dies (only to show up again many issues later), and an article describes it as "her apparent death"... there are very few words that would fit into that spot, and most of them indicate that the person's still around in some sense. So unless we all get into the habit of saying "her real, permanent, not a dream, not a robot, not an imaginary story! death", it's probably best to stick the spoiler at the end, where it could mean any number of things, including things that happened to someone else entirely. | |

Bold Inflation | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_a2cd1e60 | comment |
Bold Inflation: Repeatedly Used On This Very Wiki, especially in emotionally charged subpages like Awesome Moments or Nightmare Fuel. Articles that use Bold Inflation: A Mech by Any Other Name Fun with Acronyms Lousy Alternate Titles Bold Inflation invoked Most trope pages with a "Don't do this" disclaimer at the end of the intro - this tends to show up on YMMV tropes, or tropes that shouldn't have Real Life examples. This also tends to show up on pages with unmarked spoilers, to warn readers of just that. Any time we mention BRIAN BLESSED, Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!, or CIAPHAS CAIN, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM! - all of whom receive such treatment from many of their adoring fans. Perhaps most inexplicably, tropes themselves will be bolded sometimes, as if that means it applies harder for some reason. The pages on the manga, and the anime for Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee all emphasize Heart, because Heart Is an Awesome Power. | |

Mood Whiplash: The pages here vary from lighthearted and silly to dark and depressing.

At one moment, you'll be giggling at the snarky descriptions of hilariously bad attempts at entertainment or truly pathetic fanfiction, and at the next moment reading about the dangers of hazardous toys and rides, and the harm those things have induced on innocent kids. | |

Large Ham Title | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_a6f5faba | comment |
Large Ham Title: BRIAN BLESSED. Back in the days when the wiki still had formatting tools for increasing font size, the unspoken rule was that Mr. Blessed's name always be at least one size larger than the surrounding text. Nowadays, his name is still automatically spelled out in CAPS, and it's common practice to use BOLD TYPE for his name. All instances of Ciaphas Cain are to be followed with HERO OF THE IMPERIUM. The same goes for CAPTAIN GORDON, DEFENDER OF EARTH! and Othar Tryggvassen, Gentleman Adventurer! | |

Accentuate the Negative | |

Accentuate the Negative: Some tropers just can't seem to resist complaining about stuff they don't like here, despite it being against wiki policy. Not to mention the fact that TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life. Thankfully, there have been quite some movements to lower such negativity in this wiki. TV Tropes Reviews. This has caused there to be more negative reviews than positive on some examples. It seems almost like those with negative opinions will be more likely to post a review. It was even pointed out that negative reviews get more attention than positive ones, and this wiki was no exception.note Commenting on a review will push it back up to the top of the of the Latest Reviews index. Darth Wiki has a reputation of this due to Dethroning Moment of Suck, Wall Bangernote before it was purged from the wiki, and So Bad, It's Horrible. Not to mention, TV Tropes already ruined your life.invoked | |

| TV Tropes (Website) / int_aebae11c | comment |
Viewers Are Morons: Prevalent with troper-created puns, which will be pointed out with a Pun or Incredibly Lame Pun Sinkhole (the latter also being incorrect usage), no matter how obvious they are. Examples on trope pages will often link to the very same page the examples are already on. Or, a perfectly fine example will have a second bullet point explaining everything that has already been explained a second time. Tropes will be renamed and page images removed if so much as one person does not understand its relevance to the trope's description, sometimes with accusations of Fan Myopia thrown about no matter if that's actually the case. The wiki has done this occasionally, such as when it changed some invokedUnfortunate Implications titles. Abuse Is Okay If It's Female On Male, for example, was changed because they were afraid people would take it literally (this change was enforced by Google, on threat of pulling all ad revenue), yet some I Thought It Meant titles, such as Men Are the Expendable Gender, are still in play. | |

| TV Tropes (Website) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Some tropers just love to use this. You'll find a bunch of them scattered all over the Wiki, which are Potholed to the main page. Sometimes they get ground down by Wiki Magic, sometimes not. Don't even think about adding to them. Chances are, whatever you have in mind is just not worth including. Trope Names that are Take Thats:Capcom Sequel Stagnation: Named after Capcom's tendency to keep releasing variants of the same game.invokedThe Chris Carter Effect: A jab at Chris Carter's tendency to leave plot threads unresolved.Flanderization: A reference to Ned Flanders from The Simpsons, whose personality became more exaggerated as the main series went on.Fox News Liberal and its redirect, MSNBC Conservative: Named after the news networks Fox News and MSNBC, who are often accused of having conservative and liberal biases respectively.invokedMacekre: A jab at Carl Macek, who made large edits when translating anime into English.invokedThe Scrappy: A Take That towards Scrappy-Doo from Scooby-Doo.invokedX-Pac Heat: Named after Sean Waltman, whose role as X-Pac was hated by audiences. One example that isn't a Pothole or a Trope Name is Godwin's Law's page image, which is a book titled "Everyone I Don't Like is Hitler, a guide to online political discussion". Clicking the image takes you to Reddit. | |

| TV Tropes (Website) / int_b5ca3afe | comment |
Title 1: Subverted on a number of pages. When a page exists for a first game of a series of the same name, the page's title may be "Namespace.Series Installment 1". However, the title should be custom titled to get rid of the "1" unless this trope actually does apply to said work | |

Rainbow Speak | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_b6f33a21 | comment |
Rainbow Speak: Tropers working on pages for the more recent Kamen Rider series have a tendency to work colors into text referring to riders' varying forms. There's a lot of this going around on Super Sentai series pages too. If you think about it, potholes on this very wiki look kind of like this, too, whether the text is blue or red. This includes this line right here. Trope pages dealing with colors used to have this until the color tags were removed, such as Rainbow Motif, Color Character, and Color-Coded Elements.

Hypocritical Humor: Due to issues with the use of snowclones like "Everything's Better with [whatever]" for trope names, such as with clarity or narrative significance, a policy was created to prevent their creation, and several were renamed or cut. The policy's name? Everything's Worse with Snowclones. | |

Obvious Rule Patch: The admin notes on BFG and BFS say not to write "Big Fucking Gun" anywhere in the article. After some Rules Lawyer put "Big Freaking Gun" instead, a second line was added saying, "Obvious Rule Patch: Or 'Big Freaking Gun'. Or 'Frigging'. Or any other such expansion of the acronym." A second patch had to be applied later after another Rules Lawyer added a paragraph Backronyming it. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: This website started out as a Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan forum. Satsuki from Tsukihime is the center of invokedthe meme "Isn't it Sad, Sacchin". What makes Satsuki's lucklessness worth a section here, is that it even extends here, on TV Tropes. This trope was originally named "Isn't It Sad", after the meme in question. With the wiki's shift to less esoteric titles, Sacchin was—you guessed it—demoted in importance once again. She has since been demoted again; for a while, she was still the page's image, but she's since been replaced. Really, the only reason the Demoted to Extra page isn't a Self-Demonstrating Article is because putting it on the appropriate index would be a Promotion FROM Extra. When a character-named trope has its name changed here, it can end up demoting that character from star to being just another example. For instance, Spike is now just one more instance of invokedBadass Decay instead of being the defining instance of "Spikeification". Nor let us forget Wesley Crusher, former trope namer for Creator's Pet. | |

Anytime you see a Meta Example, it's Post-Modern. Especially if it's on the Post-Modernism page. Whoa. Trippy. Further complicating matters is that if you deny that your Post-Modern statement is itself Post-Modern, you've simply made it even more Post-Modern. In particular this makes it very tricky to parody as any sufficiently involved parody of Post-Modernism is, in itself, a Post-Modern comment on itself. No PoMo.note "Not that I'm postmodern or anything." | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: The header for the page of this trope lists In-Universe Examples Only as a header, even on all the other related sub-pages just to hammer it home. The very first page listed below the header is not only exactly what you think, but its also in bold font with arrows pointing to it, just to draw attention to the obvious violation. This trope is probably the only page listed on the the Administrivia page that also list Real Life examples.note Though, if you think about it, the page it's listed on is In-Universe Examples Only, not No Real Life Examples. That, and the page isn't covering the Out-of-Examples about a work, its covering In-Universe examples about Real Life. | |

Creator Provincialism | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_d68c925d | comment |
Creator Provincialism: At times. Uses of phrases like "our part of the world" and so on, especially when used to contrast with other cultures and nations, reveal the assumptions of the troper responsible. Usually involves Creator's Culture Carryover or other Western perspective and neglects the existence of non-Western audiences or tropers. The seasonal sub-indexes of Anime and Manga of the 2010s assume the Northern Hemisphere's seasons are used. Go count how many times 9/11 is mentioned under Harsher in Hindsight. | |

Offscreen Inertia | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_db454784 | comment |
Offscreen Inertia: On a lighter note, this trope is the reason why this wiki has the policy of Examples Are Not Recent. When adding an example, most people don't realize that their example will probably stand unchanged for months or even years, and thus has the potential to become very outdated if it says that some development in a work of fiction (or Real Life) is "recent". | |

Nowadays, most pages are sorted by media. But in some cases, you have an example in e.g. the film folder, obviously linking to a page in the film namespace, which still mentions that work X is indeed a film. Justified when it's The Artifact from a time when the page wasn't sorted and the page not yet namespaced. | |

Insistent Terminology: The wiki has a few. For example, British television show Doctor Whos main character (other than the companions, according to Word of God) is named "The Doctor" as is Star Trek: Voyagers holographic doctor who never settled on a proper name for himself. Any reference to "The Doctor" of Voyager will be followed by "no not that Doctor." For years, this wiki insisted on using the word "Fora" instead of "Forums". That was eventually dropped. | |

Spotting the Thread: At times. That "Super Secret Spoiler" wasn't so Super Secret when some extra white space where there shouldn't be popped up. Due to the YMMV finagle, Super Secret Spoiler has been replaced with the normal spoiler. Averted deliberately by some clever tropers by using completely unnecessary spoiler space or adding innocuous information under spoilers in strategic places, and making spoilers longer.....yes, longer than necessary so their length doesn't give anything away. | |

Ridiculous Procrastinator: If you are reading TV Tropes right now, odds are you're procrastinating. Truth in Television if there ever was such a thing. In fact, most Pot Holes to Ridiculous Procrastinator are not from example pages, or character pages, but from Troper pages. (Bonus points if you are reading this page to procrastinate.) To get over it, put on classic rock album and make your own Hard-Work Montage. U2, Jethro Tull, and Styx are good options. And then listen to it while browsing TV Tropes. | |

Fun with Autocensors: The forums filter "tl;dr" to "laconic version:". In the past they filtered it to "Sorry, I skipped some posts.", and earlier it was “I am too lazy, or possibly too incapable, to actually read anything. I resent the fact that this makes me seem like an inconsiderate person and hereby pledge to resume taking my ADHD medication.� It had to be changed because often the original post ended with "tl;dr: summary of the post", so "tl;dr" had two possible meanings. There's also one word ("titular") that is currently completely filtered out because of perceived overuse. | |

Due to the Wall Banger pages being cut and the images on the DMOS pages being removed due to lack of informativity, this is no longer present. | |

Theme Naming | |
| TV Tropes (Website) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Our trope naming organizations, like SPOON, FORKS, KNIVES, and PLATTER, were all named after kitchen utensils. All of the main four Elemental Powers tropes are based on popular metaphors: Playing with Fire, Making a Splash, Blow You Away and Dishing Out Dirt. | |

Shown Their Work: This wiki often falls into research failure, but those are usually corrected. The Useful Notes pages are an obvious example, but one can learn a surprising amount of useful facts just by going on a Wiki Walk here. Now, head over to Television Is Trying to Kill Us, Cowboy BeBop at His Computer, Common Knowledge, or Artistic License and learn what television doesn't know. | |
