Line 12:
''Note: This is the major difference between how [[TV Tropes]] caps off the trope creation process and how [[All The Tropes]] does the same thing.''
* Most Trope theses are born rough. They need sanding on the edges, polish for the surface, and a good dose of that lighthearted tongue-in-cheek humor we so love 'round these parts. As such, a Trope must get at least '''three votes to be launched into the main namespace without anyone saying it still needs work'''. A candidate's tenure in the Workshop can be measured in weeks or months, while the community requests clarification, adds their own insight, and maybe points out that, yes, we already <small>DO</small> Have That One.
(This avoids the biggest issue with trope creation at TV Tropes. There, even if Tropers are jumping on their metaphorical desks and yelling, "[[How Did We Miss This One?]]" or "[[Just Launch It Already]]", they have to wait three days to pull the trigger. Here, if the trope really ''is'' ready after one or two days, we can swing the champagne bottle and launch the trope if nobody objects.)
Each of the rules comes with caveats, of course. Easily 90% of edits are example-adds, so you may not need three examples. Not every name is completely transparent or witty: we love our in-jokes, and some titles are dull as dishwater
The bare minimum, though, remains three examples and a name: a snazzy name and three examples is a good place to start. [[Wiki Magic]] can always take over from there.
