Some {{trope}}s are sometimes confused (which can lead to TropeDecay). This is the canonical list of {{trope}}s that might be confused for one another.

Other {{trope}}s are sometimes split to segregate very different examples. This is also the canonical list of {{trope}}s that have been split to segregate very different examples (but not those split by media).

Please take all discussions of whether two {{trope}}s are insufficiently distinguished to the discussion page.

This will also help some tell tropes apart other than Administrivia/TheSameButMore. One thing to remember is that individual examples may overlap between these different {{trope}}s, sometimes depending on interpretation.

If one of the entries is wrong, feel free to fix it; this list aims to be {{Canon}}ical, and thus accurate.

Compare Administrivia/TVTropesGlossary, JustForFun/TropesOfLegend.

Contrast OppositeTropes, in which two or more {{trope}}s are SomethingCompletelyDifferent.

See also LaconicalListOfSubtleTropeDistinctions. If you happen to add a trope there, also add it on a sub-page here, and also the other way round.
