Line 67:
What this doesn't mean is that [[troper]]s are allowed to ramble on in pages. Content should be either entertaining or educational<ref>Ideally, content should be both entertaining and educational, but we know this isn't an ideal world.</ref> -- if it's neither, it's good to cut.
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.
