Hello! I just came here from TVTropes and moving my firsts steps here to see how this wiki works. I hope I can contribute here without the discomfort I had on the other site in recent works.

Hello and welcome!
There are a few pages for folks, like you, who have found us from another troping site. Here are the links:
- All The Tropes:So You're a TV Tropes Refugee is the "welcome" page with one rather important section about copying from TV Tropes (TL;DR: "Don't.")
- All The Tropes:Style Guide describes how we like the pages to look here. It's similar to, but not the same as, TVT's style.
- All The Tropes:How We Do Bans Around Here lists what somebody can be tempbanned for here... and, more importantly, what somebody can't be tempbanned for here. Yes, we have rules about bans - you are not at the mercy of a mod who's having a bad day.
If you have any questions about All The Tropes, don't be afraid to ask a mod. @Looney Toons and I are the mods who are online the most often.
-robkelk, mod.
Thank you. Although luckily I never was banned, I often was pestered for grammar mistakes (most of the times typos) and, since I tend to focus more on works than tropes proper, about "trope misuse" (9 times out of ten, the trope I chose for the work/character page was suddenly no longer valid because more important tropers said so, apparently) Once I've figured out the way this wiki works, I plan to contribute mostly with work pages (I think that sites like this can be useful in letting people know about media and works in general).
