Line 2:
'''''NOTE:''' This is not an invitation or a request to rename our existing snowclones without going through the usual process of gaining consensus for a page move before the fact. Rule 1 of [[All The Tropes:Terms of Service]] still applies.''
A '''Snowclone''' is a form of trope title that relies on imitating an older title's form with only a small modification. Usually this modification amounts to replacing a word or making a pun. [[The Other Wiki]] has [[w:Snowclone|a page about them]].
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
The "Everything's X with Y" tropes are about shoehorning things into a work to get a certain emotional response, so "Everything's Worse With Snowclones" seems to be about using snowclones to evoke fear or apprehension. It isn't. Thankfully, this is just one administrivia page, so make sure not to repeat our mistake.
If you're looking for repeated patterns in the names of published works in any media, see [[The Joy of X]].
