Since All The Tropes:What we aren't is one of the pages that explains exactly what All The Tropes is and is not, and we respect our Tropers' opinions, I thought it best to get some discussion about a proposed new section before either adding, modifying, or discarding it. Some people consider all pages in the All The Tropes space to be policy pages - or at least guidelines pages - so we should discuss whether to change them.
The text of the proposed change is below the cloud of pings.

We are not a "reception wiki"
According to the definition used by Miraheze, a "reception wiki" exists to let people post about works that they really like or dislike (one or the other, depending on the particular wiki). While we do have Audience Reactions pages, they are not the focus of this wiki; writing well-thought-out and grammatically-coherent pages in the Analysis section, as small as it is, is much preferred here to simply posting bullet-point lists about what people like or dislike about a work.
We have also had core policies in place here since we founded the wiki, without changing them. One of those core policies is tolerance for others: "You may not agree with an editor, but you should always be able to respect another editor." Doxxing and edit wars are frowned upon here; if you aren't willing to at least pretend to be tolerant, you probably won't be comfortable here.
