Line 2:
This is not Wikipedia. You will see these words written in many places on the website. One of the main ways we are different from them is our take on "notability."
 
== {{smallcaps| All works are notable.}}Notable ==
 
Wikipedia tries in many regards to be the opposite of what we are. We want to be fun, interesting and a [[TV Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|cool place to sink hours of time]]. Wikipedia wants to be a compilation of previously published facts from respected sources. [[Serious Business]]. Presented with a choice between serious and fun, we went with fun.
Line 14:
This is a double-edged sword. Someone could add an example they made up and there is really nothing you could do to stop them. If the discussion finds an example to be a purely fiction then it might get deleted, ''might''. That's the way of things. But remember, we're here to have fun. Don't let this stuff burn you out.
 
== {{smallcaps|By, For, and About Fans}} ==
 
TV Tropes Wiki was started by fans. People, that is, who ''like'' stuff. You will see that articles work better here when they are about something you like. This is a little bit of a shock to folks that are used to cynicism about the media. It takes a minute or two to get used to.
Line 26:
Other than that, all we ask is that [[Square Peg Round Trope|the examples fit the trope]]. Go on, have fun.
 
== {{smallcaps|Just Because It's Notable Doesn't Mean It's SafeOn To Host}}Topic ==
 
We consider every work notable. But this wiki is about storytelling, and the tropes therein. The annual Federal Budget is a may be a highly anticipated [[doorstopper]] every year, but it's surprisingly short on tropes. If you can't actually think of five tropes for your work (looking at you, [[Porn Without Plot]]), maybe you should reconsider posting it.
We consider every work notable. But works that are nothing but porn aren't appropriate to host on this site. We don't need porn in order to understand storytelling.
