(TVT->ATT)
Line 9:
Before this page was created, that's all that would've been here if you'd looked. Heck, before the "database hates you" message was added, that's all you might have seen afterwards, as well. It was part of the PmWiki software powering [[TV Tropes]] for a long time, until it was superseded in December 2009 by "Click the edit button to start this new page." Some tropers decided they want to be clever and used the phrase in actual articles. And some tropers ''still'' use the phrase to this day.
 
MediaWiki itself once lacked such a message, but TVAll The Tropes has similar wording in some of its "boilerplate" for new pages. For example, the work page boilerplate:
<code><nowiki>Describe the page here. Remove this line when you place a description on the page.</nowiki></code> MediaWiki now has such a message, however, and the version on {{SITENAME}} is visible [[MediaWiki:Noarticletext|here]].
