'''Troping is Fun'''. Or it should be, anyway. This, more than anything else, is the reason that [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life]]. The site is about digging deeper into the [[
Troping is fun not in a [[Happiness Is Mandatory]] sort of way. Feel free to have opinions on the main page and offer snarky fan commentary. That's kind of our oeuvre. But at the same time, don't trample someone else's good time either -- [[All The Tropes:There is No One True Way|There is No One True Way]].

A troper's mission is to boldly edit<ref>and split infinitives</ref> and explore new tropes. Just like [[wikipedia:WP:BOLD|WP:BOLD]] on [[The Other Wiki]], we here at All The Tropes encourage editors to do their best to improve the site. If you think a change should be made, just make it! You don't need to ask for permission to do something here, as long as you don't break any of the rules that we have to protect the wiki for everybody. Every edit you make to improve the wiki helps us all, and there isn't much that somebody can do here that would break the wiki<ref>unless you have Administrator rights, which is one reason why admins don't usually use those rights</ref> -- we'd rather you spent more time editing and less time asking. (Alas, spammers have made it necessary for us to put Moderation in place on new users' edits... but that's just a matter of delaying when your edits will appear, nineteen times out of twenty.)
You
If you do encounter criticism for a bold edit, that's the time to sit back and talk. More than likely, can resolve things quickly
No matter what, it's always a good idea to leave a good edit reason -- especially so if you feel the edit might be accidentally controversial. Good edit descriptions prevent problems before they start.

* If you do lose, accept your loss gracefully -- In any endeavor, you win some and you lose some. This doesn't mean you're a bad person. Or even that your ideas are wrong. It just means that people chose a different way, and [[All The Tropes:There is No One True Way|There is No One True Way]].
