All The Tropes:Creator Page Guidelines: Difference between revisions

No edit summary
Line 19:
* '''IMPORTANT:''' Copying verbatim from [[TV Tropes]] is copyright infringement, and a good way to earn speedy deletion. See [[All The Tropes:Copyrights]] if you want to know why.
* '''Tropes applied to the creator as if they are a fictional character.''' Please resist the urge to apply character tropes to [[Real Life]] people. We've had a lot of [[Square Peg, Round Trope]] issues in the past with this, so as a general guideline, it's best to apply [[No Real Life Examples, Please]] to creators. If it seems harmless, it might be overlooked [[Just for Fun]], and there is an exception for [[Conversational Troping]] as mentioned above, but on the whole this is something [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement|best avoided]].
* '''Tropes that apply to ''individual'' works they've created.''' Any tropes listed should be relevant to their work as a whole, not to just one work. So if a trope only applies to ''one'' work they've made, please list it on that work's page instead. (And if that single work doesn't have a page, see [[Works Pages Are a Free Launch]].)
* '''Creator Bashing.''' Creator pages should not be used to complain about how much a person sucks. We're not here to hate on people. It's okay to have problems with their works, but that doesn't give you a license to abuse a creator. Please keep it reasonably neutral. If it ''can't'' be kept neutral, and/or descends into an [[Edit War]], All The Tropes may have to lock the page – or worse, delete it and ''then'' lock it. We don't want to have to do that. Don't make us.
* '''Subjectivity and YMMV.''' We don't list [[YMMV]] items for real-life people. That includes creators. Please don't list [[Audience Reactions]] or [[YMMV]] for a creator.
