#Don't use "trope" in trope titles (especially as a placeholder word) unless the trope is a {{Trope Trope|s}}. Otherwise, people might think the trope is actually a Trope Trope.

# Similar to the last guideline, ShortTitles should be avoided for trope titles, but not for work titles for obvious reasons. Stuff like ''Literature/{{IT}}'', ''Film/{{Elf}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Up}}'' are fine, but tropes like FiveFiveFive, {{BFG}}, and {{God}} aren't as much. Should they be renamed? Possibly, if there's anything suitable. However, we already have (for example) NumberOfTheBeast instead of [[SixHundredSixtySix 666]]. Pages with extremely short titles are extremely hard to find (hence the page listing them) but shouldn't happen unless necessary.

* Pretty much anything ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}-related

#"X appears" is Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs; "X appears in a work that's not primarily about it" is still PSOC. A specific way of depicting the thing is or somesuch is more likely to be tropeworthy.

#Nobody ever thinks of it as such, but Wiki/ThisVeryWiki is arguably an encyclopedia, just like Wiki/TheOtherWiki, albeit one specifically about works/media. But that never stopped any other single-subject reference work.
#I'm not non-binary (I identify as male, and am biologically male) but if I were my preferred pronouns would be they/theirs instead of "xir", "em", or anything else like that. We don't need to invent new-gender neutral pronouns when they already exist. (No, despite what many people think, singular they is not grammatically incorrect).

More to come.

#Don't use acronyms as titles or redirects unless it's part of a work's official title. For example, ''Series/TheOC'' (which stands for [[UsefulNotes/{{California}} Orange County]]) is fine. But does just "OC" stand for Orange County, OriginalCharacter, or two dozen other things? Also, don't, for example, have {{JP}} as a redirect to ''Franchise/JurassicPark'', for the same reasons.

#Tropes should represent clear trends, or clear subtrends of other trends. Tropes that don't follow this rule tend to be Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs, Administrivia/ChairsSitOnPeople and/or Administrivia/TheSameButMoreSpecific.

Some of these are official, others are just my own guidelines.
