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.

Sometimes, a trope has more than one Opposite Trope. This usually happens when a trope is about outside appearances vs. inside actualities or gender roles.

For this purpose, we can create a Trope Grid for covering the bases. Here are a few.

A religion...
Appears to Be Good Evil
But is actually good Saintly Church Dark Is Not Evil [1]
But is actually evil Path of Inspiration, Corrupt Church Religion of Evil
A person...
Appears to be Nice A Jerk
But is secretly nice Friend to All Living Things, The Messiah Jerk with a Heart of Gold
But is secretly a jerk Bitch in Sheep's Clothing Jerk with a Heart of Jerk
