This is a wiki about tropes in works of fiction and entertainment, which means that most content on the wiki should be about that. A certain amount of off-topic discussion is allowed, particularly in the forums and user pages. Memes and historical figures can have pages or examples, too. But we do want to limit things like unverifiable real life examples or gushing the work pages. As we say in [[All The Tropes:The Troper's Code|The Troper's Code]], we want to keep a balance between education and entertainment. This means it involves a judgement call, so please be civil and respect your fellow editors.

We have a [[All The Tropes:Style Guide|Style Guide]], which is currently pretty limited in content, but will probably grow. In most circumstances, you should follow it, but there are times to bend the rules. But if you break the rules too often, people might get upset with you. Remember that the first rule on [[All The Tropes:Terms of Service|Terms of Service]] is "You promise not to be a huge jerk on our site."
 
For more specific guidelines, we also have:
Line 35:
* [[All The Tropes:Tips for Editing|Tips for Editing]]
* [[All The Tropes:How to Write An Example|How to Write an Example]]
 
Finally, although it should go without saying, the contents of the All The Tropes project namespace are not to be edited by non-admins, as it is home to wiki policy and documentation. If you think you see something that needs changing, [[All The Tropes:How to Get a Rule Changed|here's how to suggest the change]]. If you happen to find an unprotected page in the project namespace and edit it without asking first, that's grounds for a [[All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here|temporary ban]].
