Tropedia is a wiki where we discuss the trends and patterns in all forms of media, that we call Tropes. We're a place to hang out and chat about the television shows you love, a place to discover new movies to watch, and a place to offer literary criticism and analysis of pop culture. And we're happy that you want to be a part of our community.
If you're looking for the help section, it's over at Help:Editing.
Note: Some pages may mention other wiki farm services. In that instance, where applicable, those rules apply here, unless they would violate the Terms of Use of FANDOM or any of its policies, in which case those take precedent.
