Exceptions:
; Content you wrote
: Copying is allowed '''if''' you created (wrote) the portion you copied over.<ref>onlyOnly the exact edits made by you count. Anything added by other people is not allowed unless they permit you to resubmit it elsewhere, and you must have their permission</ref> It is also allowed if the author has given you permission, such as through a dual-license notice on the author's user page. When you do so, note in the edit summary that this is your own writing, so we don't just assume that you blindly copied content. Lines like "my own writing" or "copied edits by me from TVT" are sufficient.
; TV Tropes as a reference
: You can, however, use TV Tropes as a reference to your own writing. Avoid paraphrasing; we want to come up with new content. The names of the tropes used in a work (or a list of works that make use of a trope) are raw data, and thus not subject to copyright. They are facts, and can be used on our wiki. However, any description of how a work qualifies for a trope (or vice-versa) is copyrightable; do not copy the context for examples from TV Tropes.
