This does, however, mean that some of the tropes have different names here. Another one of our goals is to help people actually use tropes in their own stories - we have a section all about [[:Category:Mechanics of Writing|the mechanics of writing]] to help writers both new and experienced. Part of our working toward that goal is a ... not an intolerance of, but a preference to avoid [[Esoteric Trope Names]]. If you use an esoteric name, sometimes you'll still get where you expect to end up (for example, "Cowboy Bebop at his Computer" redirects to [[Media Research Failure]]), but sometimes you won't (for example, "Red Baron" goes to the person, not to [[Sobriquet]]). What this means to you is that sometimes you'll need to double-check that a link to an in-joke trope name actually goes where you expect it to go. |
