== Can I copy something from this site to TV Tropes? ==

No, you cannot. They use a Creative Commons license with a Non-Commercial clause added, and so the two licenses are completely incompatible. Distributing CC-BY-SA content as CC-BY-NC-SA content is copyright infringement, unless the permission of all previous editors was given for that page. You can feel free to ask those editors, though. Note, your ''own'' edits only are able to used on both sites, but it is recommended you make that clear in the edit reasons there (as you would here if reposting your own work from TV Tropes) you are porting your own work, as under Creative Commons you may resubmit your own work under whatever license you deem fit, but not anyone else's without permission.

Do note failure to do so can be considered "self-plagiarism", and can cause copyright disputes if you do not make clear you are submitting work from sites with different copyright licenses as the same edits to one or more sites. To avoid this, use edit reasons on each to make clear your intentions.
