==M==
* '''Main Page''': The defaultbasic '''namespace'''trope/work/creator page, where you will find the tropea '''description''', andalong with '''examples''' (for tropes), '''tropes''' (for works), or both/neither/other (other page types). In MediaWiki, subpages "hang off" a main page like subfolders in a directory, instead of living in a completely different section of the wiki.
* '''[[Media|Medium]]''': The format a work is presented in (for example: film, comic book, radio, etc.). Examples in trope pages are sorted by medium, and we distinguish works that share the same name by appending the medium to the their names.

==T==
* '''[[Trope]]''': A common convention or device in media. TheseThis areis not the actual literary definition of a trope, and should not be confused for it. This is just an informal definition we use for this site.
* '''[[Trope Workshop]]''': The All The Tropes counterpart to TVT's YKTTW,.
* '''[[Troper]]''': Anyone who contributes to this site. Those that are Known are listed in [[Special:ActiveUsers|Contributors]].
Line 102:
==Y==
* '''[[You Know That Thing Where|YKTTW]]''': Short for "You Know That Thing Where..." Back on [[TV Tropes]], this was a specialized discussion page, the recommended place to propose tropes ([[Works Pages Are a Free Launch|but not works or people]]). Here at All The Tropes, the equivalent function is served by the [[Trope Workshop]], which is actually a special namespace where tropes are proposed and whipped into shape before moving them into the main wiki.
* '''[[Your Mileage May Vary|YMMV]]''': Most tropes are deliberate choices of those making a work. It doesn't matter what we think of them, they are in that work. YMMVs differ in that they are entirely what an individual viewer feels. Also known on a few pages as "Subjectives".
