Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

The Tauropedia is an attempt to compile a compendium of all the knowledge in the universe into a quickly referencible - but admittedly abbreviated - travelling companion. Much like how the Milky Way Galaxy has the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, the Tauropedia was intended to cover the entirety of the universe, known or not. Unfortunately it took so much time to compile the information that the one known copy of the Tauropedia had to be sent backwards in time to the very beginning of the universe for it to be of any use at all, and the manufacturing of the book itself was so complex that even the most advanced replication techniques failed to create a second copy. Interestingly enough, the book has developed a degree of self-awareness and started to update itself when it came across a part of reality that didn't agree with what was in the book.
