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.

About The Tropedia
 * Our Purpose
 * What are tropes?
 * Our intentions and goals



Tropedia is a community-edited wiki website dedicated to discussing Creators,
Works, and Tropes -- the people, projects and patterns of creative writing in
all kinds of entertainment: television, literature, movies, video games, and
more.

Tropes are tools of the trade for writers; They are devices and conventions that
we the audience expect to see again and again. Whether tropes are cliche or just
standard for the genre is largely a matter of writing quality and personal
opinion. But tropes will always exist, as they often reflect life -- and we
exist to document them, play with them, and generally have fun with them.

The name Tropedia is a portmanteau of "trope" and "encyclopedia". We want to
encourage creative thought, discuss new works, and welcome everyone to play
around. This is not Wikipedia, this is a site for fans. The wiki used to be
called All The Tropes, but behind-the-scenes drama in 2021 forced us to change
the name.

We hope to educate and entertain -- to be both informal and informative. And we
hope that you'll join us.

So read, edit, have fun, and play nice!

Featured Article

The Coconut Effect

"What, ridden on a horse? ... You've got two empty halves of a coconut and
you're bangin' 'em together!

An element that is patently unrealistic, but which you have to do anyway because
viewers have been so conditioned to expect it that its absence would be even
more jarring.

The best example of this is the sound of horse-hooves. From the days of radio,
banging two coconut halves together was the standard way to generate the sound
effect of horse-hooves. Anyone who has ever actually been around a horse knows
that horse-hooves rarely sound anything at all like that, and never sound more
than just a very little bit like that. All the same, that sound became so
ingrained in the public consciousness that even when it later became possible to
insert much more realistic sound effects, the coconut sound effect was still
used. The audience wouldn't accept horse hooves making a sound not generated by
coconuts.
