On most Wikis, a link to an existing entry is in blue, and a link to a non-existing one in red. If a particularly interesting item is linked a lot, and yet no one actually creates the page to go with it, the text remains red.<ref>Since the addition of color-coded links in 2016, pages here on All The Tropes will actually be a mix of green and blue, with green linking to tropes and blue linking to works.</ref>
Then someone does create the page, and the resulting change in colour scheme makes the world feel slightly better. When this gets out of hand, you get an [[All Blue Entry]], and when it outspills the wiki environment, you've got [[Blue Fever]].
Line 8:
This is an allusion to [[wikipedia:Blue shift|a particular instance]] of the [[wikipedia:Doppler effect|Doppler effect]] in physics.
For the ''Half-Life'' expansion, see ''[[Half-Life (series)|Half-Life]]''.
