History DarthWiki / CrappyTropeDefinitions

* VideoSource: A place to upload large portions of your favorite work. Not only does your example fit a trope perfectly, it also requires the entire episode/game/film/video to be uploaded so they fully understand how awesome your example is. Heck, your video doesn't even need a trope to go with it, as long as it deserves exposure on this site. Just put it on {{Plot}} or TheProtagonist and it'll fit perfectly.

* StillbornFranchise: A work doesn't have its sequel announced a week after it comes out, so it is absolutely dead on arrival.

* NamesTheSame: Two names have some similarities to each other; being similar is enough to count as being the same.

* LemonStu: A sexually active character you don't like.

** A HateSink you don't like. Never mind that, as the title suggests, [[IntendedAudienceReaction you weren't suppose to like them at all]].

** This page is just a snarky version of the Administrivia/SquarePegRoundTrope page, so every time a new entry is added to that, go ahead and add it to this one in a sarcastic tone.

** The TV Tropes policy on edit warring is identical to that of Wiki/{{Wikipedia}}. If you've read [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring their policy page]] on the subject, there's no need to read ours -- for example, policies like the three-revert rule still apply to TV Tropes.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: This can still apply when a work subject to NoExportForYou is hard to find in countries it wasn't released in, because it's weird if something that isn't sold in your home country can't be found in local stores. That said, if it ''does'' get exported at a later date, be sure to add it to [[KeepCirculatingTheTapes/{{Rescued}} the Rescued subpage]], because we totally don't have RemadeForTheExport and LateExportForYou for that.
** Also, make sure that anything that isn't on subscription streaming services or instantly and convienently available digitally is on this page, even if it can still be easily found legally through buying it digitally or physically.

* BreakingNewsInterruption: A page that doesn't exist on this wiki. Please use WeInterruptThisProgram instead because it sounds extrememly catchy.

** A work you like has merchandise, therefore it's tarnishing how great it is.

* ImagePickin: If a page you're editing already has an image, suggesting a replacement here is optional, even if the page's source code has a note regarding the image. Don't worry about existing images and accompanying notes; feel free to replace an image with your own (and delete those pesky notes for good measure), and scoff at the people on ImagePickin if your image is Administrivia/JustAFaceAndACaption, because the fact that your image features an example is [[FanMyopia completely obvious to everyone]].

* JustForFun/Rickroll: Any time the song "Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley is used or shown, regardless of the context, even if there is no intent to deceive anyone.

* MarySuetopia: Any remotely functional society that follows an ideology you don't agree with.

* OldShame: Any old thing of which someone is ashamed. A character in the story expresses shame over their past bad behavior? It's old, it's shame, it's perfect. Don't ask why it's Trivia if it's about something in the story.

* JustForFun/OneOfUs: ''Not'' a celebrity who is also a nerd. That's wrong and dumb and boring. This is for padding out Trivia/ subpages by pointing out that a work's creator reads Wiki/TVTropes and/or has a TV Tropes account; the part about celebrity nerds was [[https://web.archive.org/web/20080723092122/tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OneOfUs made up on the spot]] as an excuse to demote the page to JustForFun status, and this has ''always'' been about people who read and/or edit TV Tropes. Also, this still belongs on Trivia/ subpages despite the decision to move it from {{Trivia}} to JustForFun.

* DuelingWorks: Two works kind of have a similar theme/idea if you think about it. Both works have have similar-enough settings (i.e. taking place somewhere in space, or in a city) while having a somewhat comedic tone? Both works share the same time slot on different channels? Both works target completely different audiences? Both works share one or two similarities and were released years, if not decades, apart? These are all great examples and should be added right away. Make sure that the declared winner is whatever work you prefer.

** A place to dump your half-hearted [[Administrivia/WorksPagesAreAFreeLaunch work page drafts]]. You can also use it to [[Administrivia/YesWeDoHaveThisOne get tropes identified]]. For a complete guide, go [[DarthWiki/HowNotToWriteATLPDraft here]].

* Administrivia/WorksPagesAreAFreeLaunch: Drafting works pages on TropeLaunchPad is strictly forbidden, and anyone who attempts to do so must be sternly reminded of this by at least seventeen different editors.
