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.

It was there. The phrasing was perfect, with a scansion, rhyme, and reason that would carry the idea forward into the ages.

Then the wiki ate it.

The technology failed. The screen came back all-white, or the dreaded "could not find server" message popped up. You curse Gus, Janitor, Fast Eddie, Larry Roberts, and all ISP's, everywhere, and Seth, because somehow it must be Seth's fault. Cf. the dreaded Data Vampires.

You resolve to always work the thing up in an application that can be saved on your PC. Again. Because the last four times you swore to do that ... it wasn't as bad as this one. This time you're serious!
