Editing policies
- All titles should have first letter of the word In Uppercase, to preserve the original TV Tropes spirit.
- Work titles should be italic.
- Spoiler tags allowed, recommended to use. Code is {{spoiler|text}}.
- Anything else is at user discretion and may be discussed and implemented where needed/wanted.
- Redirects are accepted and encouraged. If several people are possible to make the same mistake, we should have that little backup to lead to the right link.
- All examples should be either in the order they appeared on TV Tropes, in the alphabetical order of their subsections, or in an order superior to that that we have yet unable to find on this site, but you're welcomed to try to find it.
- People Sit on Chairs acceptable. If tropers have shown anything, is that they can have fun with the most mundane of concepts.
- Inline intendents (starts, two points etc) may go as far as needed. Just try not to break the page.
- Insulting tropers, either in Thread Mode, edit summary or any other way will not be tolerated.
- Insulting shows or fictional characters is acceptable. Complaining About Shows You Don't Like is generally accepted, if it's constructive criticism and not outright trolling, plain-ol' bashing or Complaining about Shows You Don't Watch. (Just to make clear, the last three types of edits will be removed).
- Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment applies to non-celebrity particular people. Religion, Real Life celebrities, politicians and anything else are fair game.
- Unjustified removal of content will NOT be tolerated! The administrators reserve the right to enforce this rule on themselves. Justify your removal in a civil and non-condescending way in the edit summary (or simply "Summary").
- External links are allowed and encouraged where needed... if you can get through the spam filter. Yes, it's a bitch. No, we didn't put it in, and yes, it serves its purpose.
Editing tips
When importing a page from TV Tropes, if you're using a text editor, the following tips may ease your edits:
- If a trope work, replace all "* " with "* [[" Thus, you'll have 2 less [['s to type in, and that'll make everything easier.
- Replace "[[spoiler: " with "{{spoiler|".
- Replace // with '' (these are the endings of quotes).
Quoting tips
- Quote at the start of the page should be in the form {{quote|text}}
- Inside the text quotes recommendation: Example:
- Troper 1: Well this is a new site.
- Troper 2: Really?!
- Troper 1: Well duuh!
- Quote marks (") should be avoided unless really needed (quote inside of a quote, of a narration etc.) Frankly, they look ugly.
