Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Adding Links

If you add an external link, preview it to make sure it works.

If you add an external link to a site that has Not Safe For Work content (anything that would get an office worker or high-school student in trouble if the content or the site that hosts the content was to be viewed at work or school), then plainly mark the link as being Not Safe For Work.

Dealing with Link Rot

If you find an external link that doesn't work, add the {{dead link}} template immediately after the link to point it out. Don't delete the link; we'll usually want to attempt to find the page that was originally being linked.

If you know for a fact that the reason the link doesn't work is because the website has been taken down, replace it with a link that works! There's always the Wayback Machine, of course. If that doesn't help, Google it, even if you have no reason to expect results. You may be pleasantly surprised.
