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.

Web 2.0 refers to the proliferation, starting in the late 90s/early 2000s, of more interactive, technologically advanced websites, as opposed to the static text pages (with an occasional image) that had previously dominated the net. In a technical sense it means that Javascript support in mainstream browsers has finally gotten good enough for companies like Google to build services such as Gmail, GoogleDocs and other Javascript applications, and that XML has finally moved out of the lab and into real applications like RSS.

Example technologies sometimes referred to as Web 2.0:


  • Collaborative, user-edited websites (like Wikipedia, which began in 2001, based on the wiki technology which began in 1994),
  • Blogs and other online communication tools (like Live Journal, which began in 1999),
  • Style sheets, separating content from format (CSS, 1998),
  • Syndication systems (RSS, late 90s)
