Line 4:
'''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]].)

Line 16:
* [[Friendly Rivalry]]: Despite differences in opinion, ATT and TVT have openly avoided antagonizing one another, agreeing to merely respect each other's license change, and [[Enemy Mine|have even cooperated to stop vandals who gave both their wikis trouble]].
* [[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 22 ⟶ 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 the Negative|assuming the editors are fools easily led astray
* [[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]].
