* [[TV Tropes Wiki]]. This paragraph comes from that wiki and is kept for historical interest. (Of course, All The Tropes was forked from TV Tropes long after TV Tropes was no longer devoted solely to television.) |

** Despite the name, this site no longer focuses on television. Over the past couple of years, it has added movies, books, board games and video games to its lineup. Lately, it's even been moving away from ''tropes'', adding [[Useful Notes]], [[Audience Reactions]], [[Trivia Trope|Trivial Facts]], [[So You Want To/See the Index|writer's tools]], [[Just for Fun|humor pages]], and [[No Real Life Examples, Please|with a few exceptions]], [[Real Life]] examples and material. [[Tropes Are Not Bad|Of course, this wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing]]. What's happened here is more expansion than decay; since we're not dealing with a finite number of time slots, we didn't have to remove any of the original material to make room for the new stuff. Given that most TV tropes originated in literature, mythology, and theater, such expansion makes sense. It gives perspective on the tropes. |

** Troper Tales was a big example within the site itself. It was oringally intended to be an example of tropes in real life, and the ultimate reason for it's removal was because it became more of an anynomous blog and discussion forum.
