About This Wiki
All The Tropes is a community-edited 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. 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. 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. 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.

We hope to educate and entertain -- to be both informal and informative. And we hope that you'll join us.

So read, edit, have fun, and play nice! 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. .

Differences From the Competition
TV Tropes does not allow certain articles and topics to be discussed, because of censorship policies ostensibly imposed by their advertisement sponsors. We are hosted on a service funded by donations, so we have no ads (and thus no chance of being redirected to a malware-injection site by a hostile ad) and no widespread censorship. We have a wide range of other benefits too: modern software, secure browsing, and administrators who listen to other opinions. For a fuller explanation of the schism, see Why We Forked TV Tropes. Tropedia is a FANDOM fork of All The Tropes (minus the branding as that is our trademark now they expelled the founder over a matter they deemed in violation of their Terms of Service), and are as censorship free as ourselves, with some limited exceptions for matters pertaining to certain FANDOM policies. Content from there can be imported here and vice-versa, under the terms of the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license. The True Tropes Wiki is also a FANDOM fork of All The Tropes, also minus our branding. It was founded in October 2019 by a former ATT Admin who disagreed with a decision made by the community as a whole to lock the Complete Monster page, remove its examples and turn it into a Useful Note in response to an increase in toxic users obsessively focused on the trope. It's based on a complete dump of ATT as it existed at that time, provided with our blessings. Just like Tropedia, content from True Tropes can be imported here and vice-versa, under the terms of the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license.  We are fierce advocates of the free content reuse policy of Wikimedia Foundation and our site license and reuse policy was modeled on their own because we want to share our content with the world, and don't believe it should be hoarded or used to make a profit, because like the WMF, we believe knowledge should be free, and since you can reuse WMF content here (with proper attribution), please check out the following WMF wikis for anything you might wish to use for pages here:
