'''All The Tropes''' is a community-edited [[wikipedia:Wiki|wiki]] website dedicated to discussing [[Creators]], [[Works]], and [[Tropes]] -- the people, projects and patterns of creative writing in all kinds of entertainment: television, literature, movies, video games, and more.<br> |
|||
And by all kinds of entertainment, we don't just mean English language content (especially just American English content), we want to cover and address all types of media from around the world and the tropes that media uses, as both tropes and the works that use them are universal.</translate> |

[[Tropes]] are tools of the trade for writers; They are devices and conventions that we the audience expect to see again and again. Whether tropes are [[cliche]] or just standard for the [[genre]] is largely a matter of writing quality and personal opinion. But tropes will always exist, as they often reflect life -- and we exist to document them, play with them, and generally have fun with them.</translate> |

This wiki is called All The Tropes because we want to accept discussion of patterns in all forms of media while keeping censorship to a minimum. We want to encourage creative thought, discuss new works, and welcome everyone to play around. This is not Wikipedia, this is a site for fans. |

This wiki is an English specific wiki, and our content may reflect a strong American bias due to the fact we forked from TV Tropes, which had a strong bias in that regard. If you would like to help us make a foreign language version of ATT or help improve our international appeal, please contact the ATT administrators and we'll be happy to provide any resources you may need.</translate> |

About This Wiki
|
Featured Article
Four-man comedy troupe known for a wild but intellectual style highly reminiscent of Monty Python's Flying Circus, but with a uniquely Canadian flavor. Formed in the late 1970s, the group stayed together until the late 1980s, followed by a reunion in 2004. The core members of The Frantics are Paul Chato, Rick Green, Dan Redican and Peter Wildman, but like their spiritual predecessors, two women can be counted among their unofficial membership -- Mag Ruffman and Carolyn Scott.
