'''All The Tropes''' is this very website! To learn more about the background of this website, its rules and policies, see [[All The Tropes:About|our "About Us" page]].
However, that's not what ''this'' page is about. This website is also a creative work, so it gets its very own list of tropes! (Including [[{{PAGENAME}}/Trivia|trivia tropes]].)
{{tropelist}}
* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: The hosters of ATT are commonly referred to as "our site overlords".
* [[Banned On TV Tropes]]: We have many works that were censored off TV Tropes, and will continue to allow articles that would be censored by their current standards, so long as they are tropable works.
** Also, some of the administrators of ATT were literally banned on TV Tropes by its former owner Fast Eddie, for challenging his decisions and policies, or for exercising their rights under [https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ Creative Commons], and one was actually banned simply for ''leaving'' TVT and saying why. (To be absolutely honest, the new regime has reversed the bans and invited back at least some of ATT's admins. None have so far taken them up on it, and at least one admin never had a TV Tropes account to begin with.)
** There is a limited amount of interaction between both sites for the purposes of preventing troublemakers for both from becoming a problem and to ensure copyrights between sites are honored, though it bears mentioning ATT is prevented from advertising its existence on TV Tropes in any meaningful capacity.
* [[Censorship Bureau]]: Averted as much as legally allowable.
* [[David Versus Goliath]]: One of the main goals of this website is to take on its [[The Rival|archrival]], [[TV Tropes]]. Hopefully, we'll see the magic of [[Underdogs Never Lose]] happen.
* [[Defector From Decadence]]: The creators of ATT felt that TV Tropes had fallen too far away from its original principles to be a good resource for troping so they [[Start My Own|started their own troping wiki]] as a remedy to the problem.
* [[Friendly
* [[Freeware]]: All The Tropes uses [[MediaWiki]], is hosted on a donation supported wiki, charges nothing for any of its services, and allows unlimited forking, even for commercial purposes, so long as its copyright license is honored on any fork (and that license allow for commercial use if desired).
* [[Metasyntactic Variable]]: All The Tropes has inherited from [[TV Tropes]] the practice of using the word "trope" as a Metasyntactic Variable in trope names, such as [[The Trope Kid]], [[Disney Owns This Trope]] and [[The Von Trope Family]]. TVT began discouraging this practice long before the fork leading to ATT took place, and many such names were later replaced, but we still have a dozen or so lurking about, and have even added a couple of our own, such as [[Tropacabana]].
* [[Opposite Gender Protagonists]]: We have the [[Alice and Bob]] trope. That itself wouldn't be too big of a deal, until you realise that many tropes here uses the Alice and Bob trope to explain themselves. Thus, Opposite Gender Protagonists apply to pages such as [["No. Just... No" Reaction]], [[No, I Am Behind You]], and [[Dartboard of Hate]]. Plus, you'll stumble across plenty of Alice and Bob in [[Playing With]] pages!
* [[Our Lawyers Advised This Trope]]: Our [[Affectionate Nickname|Orain overlords]] advised the following disclaimer be put on the [[All the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game]] page.
{{quote|All The Tropes and Orain are not responsible for any damages that result from drinking games,
Line 19 ⟶ 24:
{{quote|All The Tropes and Miraheze are not responsible for any damages that result from drinking games,
including but not limited to damages to your liver and other people's cars.}}
* [[Rousseau Was Right]]: A running theme of the rules of the site is a belief that deliberately encouraging the editors to do the right thing by site policy and other editors will lead to a productive editing environment, as opposed to [[Accentuate
* [[Running Gag]]: We tend to use "Not to be confused with..." more for links with giggle value than serious cross-references. Unless we don't.
* [[Start My Own]]
* [[Take That]]: The wiki name was deliberately selected both to highlight ATT's openness and freedom to explore territory which TVT declared ''verboten'', and to advertise that we had rescued, restored or reconstructed as much of the content that we could find that TVT had deliberately destroyed in its campaign to become [[Think of the Advertisers!|advertiser-safe]].
