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 SelfCloak. 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.

Exactly What It Says on the Tin is about work titles that state the basis of what the work is about. This is to list page titles that do the same. In short, these are titles where it is unlikely that someone will go "Wait, I Thought It Meant...". The ultimate goal of SPOON is to have as many tropes as possible on this page.

Basically, if the point of the page can easily be understood from the title, it goes here. But there are a few ways to tell it's exact:

  1. The title doesn't have to be 100% precise (Tropes Are Flexible, after all), but if an important part of the trope doesn't fit a word, it doesn't count.
    • Always Male and Always Female do not belong here because "always" is an absolute term, and the tropes in those indexes allow exceptions.
  1. No puns, idioms, or foreign language terms (which would apply for any language this page might be translated to) unless such a term has been in the English language long enough for the meaning to be clear to most.
    • So even though the proper term for the genre Wuxia is that very word, it wouldn't count here.
  1. A title that references itself is not enough if it breaks any of the other rules.
    • Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking is a self referencing title, but it doesn't belong here because the trope has nothing to do with arson, murder, or jaywalking.
  1. This index is divided into two sections: pages whose main title fits these rules, and redirects whose title fits these rules.

Naturally, this page is going to rely a lot on Wiki Magic to find titles that fit. Also, any discussion on what would best fit is welcome. And because Wikipedia tends to use exact titles somewhat more often than TV Tropes used to, We Are Not Alone Index may provide suggestions for creating redirects.
