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.

FANDOM policy on "deadnaming" made more clear

GethN7
GethN7 • 30 March 2021 • User blog:GethN7

FANDOM policy has been clarified to me in the meantime, and their ruling is as follows.


If an actor has gone under a new name and gender identity and has insisted publicly on being referred to as such, this wiki shall reflect as much on all pages. We may leave redirects for their creator pages if only to establish continuity of their former name under which they acted, performed, or otherwise were part of the creation of a work, but we will comply in all respects with FANDOM policy on this matter. Failure to do so will result in a unilateral punishment of a block for those who refuse to abide by this. Those who make honest mistakes in this regard will be given a chance to correct their error, but those who insist on defying this policy will be indefinitely banned from editing this wiki.

If pages are moved for creators to reflect their current name and gender identification, for the sake of making page categorization neater, please move over ALL pages to the new name (main page and all subpages), then correct name and pronoun usage as needed. Do this even for creators who are comfortable with their former name and gender identity being referenced as well to be on the safe side.


On this matter, FANDOM handed down clear instructions on this for us to follow, and as someone who intends to respect that, I will insist all who wish to edit here do likewise.
