We've noticed that you've used the Visual Editor over the past 60 days. There is currently a proposal up before the wiki community to turn it off permanently, and we're inviting you to weigh in. Please join the thread and let us know your opinion.

We are not TV Tropes, we do not link to their pages just to have a trope entry on a work.

Do not do this again.

Sorry about that. I forgot about the rules.

I didn't mean to upset you by accident. Sorry.

An idea: If you think that a particular trope needs to appear in a work page but we don't have the trope on All The Tropes, first make sure that we actually don't have it under some other name. If we still don't have it, propose it in the Trope Workshop. (EDIT: We'd have to write our own description of the trope if we do that, of course - copying somebody else's text has copyright issues.)

We have had requests to be different from TV Tropes. If we link to their pages whenever we don't have one, then we aren't being different... so we really prefer to use pages here instead of linking there.

https://allthetropes.org/wiki/Trope_Workshop:Dive_Kick I've started it.

Do we need to go and check that it is not cloned word-for-word from the TVT page, given that you wrote it in less than 12 minutes?

Alright. Here's a screenshot of both articles for comparison.

And yes, you can check it.

It looks different enough to pass muster, I think.

Yes, agreed. Thank you, Josh.

I originally thought you plagiarized from TV Tropes with that Something article, but after looking over the TVT edit history, you appear to have ported your own work to our site and relicensed it under CC BY SA, which is kosher.

Apologies for jumping the gun, but we're a little cautious about plagiarism, but in this case I was mistaken, since you are merely resubmitting your own words to another site under a different license, which is fine.

It's fine. I think I could do better this time around.

Glad to hear. Have fun and let me know if you need any further help. :)

When you start a new page, you'll see a dropdown menu with the option "select boilerplate". Just pick the boilerplate for the page you want to make and click "Load", and all the appropriate categories and any required templates will be added for you.

Some work and trope pages have the same type of subpages, so something like "Headscratchers" would be for tropes, and "Headscratchers Work" would be a headscratchers subpage for a work.

Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you have fun editing here. :)
