Darth Wiki / That Troper

• They completely fail at knowing where to put their examples.

* They put examples in the image captions.

Describe That Troper here.

— That Troper, who doesn't know how to properly use quotes.

That Troper is someone who formats pages as if they were Wikipedia articles.

Oh, you know that person. Don't lie, you've always known them. They have been around long before you were ever here. They use Red Links to trope titles that they just made up on the spot. They Kick Dogs, don't [[Pothole pot hole]] correctly, Pimp their own articles and Complain About Shows You Like. They never Take It To The Talkyplace, they ALWAYS YKTTW Bash, they Link To Articles Within The Articles, use Word Hiding when they really don't need to. and needlessly over emphasize things FULL STOP, they shove in inane details about themselves, they repeat examples, they ban evade over and over and over again, they even links to media using the Main namespace (and drop in text surrounded by parentheses like parabombers) because he refuses to believe ThisVeryWiki can't automatically detect namespaces. And they ^note never finish a sentence.

• They put examples in the main text.

They lurk the wiki, seeking to make

• They write examples mid-sentence.

your very life miserable. Nobody knows their real name, or would even want to, they can't be narrowed down to a single person, it's likely that they don't even know of their crimes against wikis. Of course, if there this notorious, then they probably revel in their garnered notoriety. Some say they are nobody, some say they are everybody, but we can all agree, they're That Troper. They overuse spoiler tags and Repeat Examples.

See How Not to Write an Example for more information.

Nothing like The Other Troper. In fact, quite the opposite.

[[I Heard It Somewhere I heard that

  • ...or link to the Pun page when making a... well, you can probably guess.
    • Most of their puns Suck Ass too.
  • They link to the Insanity Trolling Logic page in reaction to something they think is stupid.
  • They add new tropes as sub-points for no reason.
    • And sub-sub-points for even less.
• They're always there to delete your edits two minutes after you make them.
  • They will try to counter points made in your additions, but don't understand the point you were actually making and end up re-stating everything you already said except in a more long-winded fashion
  • They will sometimes delete your perfectly valid edits for no given reason other than to be a troll
    • They will also edit your additions to make you sound stupid and then completely own "your" point
• They mention fanfiction that sounds absolutely awesome, but don't provide a title or link.
  • Not to mention webcomics - there was a hilarious pisstake of that on Pennykcd once. It won awards. You should go check it out.
  • They recommend their own fanfiction in the Notable Fanfiction pages no matter how few people have actually read it.

• They completely miss the point of the article.

    • Yeah, just like that.
    • Oh, Cool.
  • When they did use Troper Tales, they used it to brag about their abilities and boost their ego.
• They revert their edits, when seeing they've been removed.

• They never learn anything from what they watch, and thinks they're heavyhanded when they're Highly Informative.
  • Alternate Theory: That Troper is everyone's Grandpa!
• They put huge sections of text under spoiler tags. Like, ridiculously huge sections of text. Like the entire example, even. Even — especially — if the entry is only partly a spoiler, or could be rephrased in such a fashion so that it would no longer be a spoiler, or that the spoiler could be adequately covered without covering a massive chunk of text with spoiler code. Even if the example is from an example that everyone knows the 'spoiler' to anyway,] or an example to an entry that announces that it's going to be full of spoilers from the start. And sometimes they will unspoil certain [[spoiler: unnecessary words at random to really break the flow of the text. Fair enough That Troper's trying to avoid spoilers, but the way they do it usually ends up being self-defeating because people have to find out what the spoiler is anyway if they want to see how the example's at all relevant to the page.
  • Or alternatively, they blithely spoil plot developments without care for who has seen them or hasn't, like the fact that everyone in "The Mousetrap" is actually a vampire.
  • They use spoiler tags in a way that makes it blatantly obvious what they're hiding, making them Entirely Pointless.
  • They also tend to put Links And Potholes Underneath Spoiler Tags, potentially Giving Away The Spoiler if a reader accidentally Mouses Over The Link.

  • Wir können Dass Troper nirgendwo finden. Er ist nicht in der Bunkeranlage.
    • Was soll das heißen, Sie "können Dass Troper nicht finden"? Dann suchen Sie ihn! Ich will Dass Troper sehen sofort! Wenn er sich ohne Befehl erntfernt hat, das ist Fahnenflucht! Verrät! Bringen sie mir Dass Troper! DASS TROPER! DASS TROPER! DASS TROPER!
• They're the real author of My Immortal.
  • I Knew That Abomination was written by a troper.

• They constantly refer to themselves as This Troper!
  • Even though Troper Tales Were Banned!

• They taunt Happy Fun Ball on a regular basis.
• Instead of using italics for works, they use bold or Nothing At All.
• They overuse those lines at the bottom.
• This entry is checked out until 06:66 Pacific Standard Time by That Troper.
• The pictures they use completely miss the point and make you cry if you stare at them!
• They get offended when you make an error, like saying that Elizabeth I was born in 1926, and then write long reasons why that is wrong instead of editing it.
  • What are your sources? She absolutely WAS NOT BORN in 1926. That is Queen Elizabeth II. How can a perfectly intelligent person not know that?
  • Ah, but you would be wrong, troper! I will call you out on your mistake and leave that mistake in there just so everybody knows you're wrong.
• Sometimes, they're too lazy to even try to Pot Hole, and instead links to the trope page itself!
  • They often forget how to Pie Hole entirely, so instead they clumsily try to include the trope name in the sentence itself, because What A Moron.
• They are pissed that This Troper gets a working Red Linked Page, and THEY DON'T! What Gives?

  • He's also The Man.
  • He's a Straw Man.
• They kill people with forklifts.
• They use their own fanon theories and alternate character interpretations when adding examples to a trope.
• They come up with ridiculously obscure alternate names taken from shows they don't like for tropes they deem negative, so they can call said show the Trope Namer.
• Sometimes when they are feeling particularly Genre Smart, while they are Complaining About A Show They Dont Like (or a fandom, or a character in the show, or what have you), they will be sure to add Your Mileage Could Vary just so they can get away with putting their negative opinions as a bullet point to every trope example and act like a large number of people share their opinion, whether they actually do or not.
  • And now with the YMCV tabs in place on a lot of pages, they're able to hi-jack the whole Your Mileage Could Vary page with their opinion and go unchallenged. They'd do this more often if they weren't too lazy to use the YMCV tabs most of the time.
  • They also use the recent site crackdown on subjective tropes being on the main page as an excuse to delete anything subjective on a page that they disagree with, leaving the subjective tropes they do agree with, and never bothering to create a YMCV page for what they delete.
  • They also complain about the trope they don't like.Any story having that trope will be DOOM.
• They cannot resist adding inane bullets to spout their own opinion, full of Phrase Cruft and Blatant Passive Aggressiveness.
  • To Be Fair, sometimes they're Really Rather Clever.
    • Do You Really Believe that anything That One Troper says is clever? Your Mileage Could Vary, of course. I mean, I'm not actually suggesting That One Troper is a raging idiot, just saying A Lot Of People feel that way.
• They don't know what's notable or not, and potholes Star War links as "this movie."
• They never miss an opportunity to mention their brilliant web comic, Moose Shreds, the Zany Antics of its Loveable Cast, or its use of Deep Philosophical Symoblism, and removes it from So Bad Its Vile whenever People Who Just Don't Get It add it there.
• They modify pages so that their grammatical syntax is lost, and do not explain why the changes are necessary.
• They make snide comments in the 'edit reason' box that are less about explaining why they felt the change was necessary and more about smugly asserting that they are so much cleverer than the person who made the original edit.
  • Because they're such a Mmmmagnnnificent Bastard with capital MB like a degree. They were schooled in awesome. You were not.
• They lie about things they have done and expect other people to be impressed.
  • And Troper Tales no longer exists, but that hasn't stopped them- they just say it on the main page.
• They write personal opinions in the examples page and try to get away with it by preceding it with "Most fans agree..."
• They quote the Nostalgia Criticizer as a bullet point to every single trope example of a work reviewed by them.
  • Then they write a review on a work within hours of it being reviewed by the Nostalgic Criticizer, basically saying the exact same thing Nostalgic Criticizer said because they have never actually seen the work in question before.
• They were greatly saddened upon finding out they couldn't use the strike-through markup to strike through things instead of editing or deleting them on the main wiki anymore.
  • They don't realize they were the main reason they were disabled, because they always used them to be snarky.
• Some are beginning to suspect that they may in fact be an Omnicidal Eldritch Abomination who is using this wiki as his tool to turn all of us into the wetware energy particles they need to fuel their multi-versal Apocalypse Rod.

• They complain about your favorite show by making harsh generalizations that you know to be false or greatly exaggerated.
• That Troper censors out entries they don't like on It Just Bugs Me Okay, YMMV, and Untamed Mass Guessing pages, and because That Troper knows better than anyone what should go on a subjective page, That Troper does so without giving a reason. Certainly That Troper is under no obligation to edit said entry for better relevance and accuracy, or to move a trope from the main article to the appropriate page.
• They insert the obligatory semi-related Buffy That Vampire Slayer and Avatar That Last Airbender reference, because heaven knows they're not mentioned on enough pages in this wiki.
  • ...right after they go to every work on the Wild Mass Conjectures page and state that "(Character X) is a Time Lord."
• ...and they jaywalk.

• That Troper inserts spoiler tags in what might be otherwise oblique references only understood by familiar viewers, in order to really paste red flags over the phrases and names to look out for. After Example Pimping enough variations into the broadest range of articles, any reader will get more clues that the show would've revealed.
• That Troper has 6 fingers on his left hand.
• That Troper likes to label anyone remotely cheeky a Deadpan Snacker, no matter how remote that character's description is from either half of the trope name they've just typed out.

  • They litter pages with Too Much Of Their Favorite Cultures Language and think every page should have a title in that language referencing something from a show from that culture they like, no matter how obscure.

They don't bullet correctly.

• They insist on capitalizing every pronoun, making an example of Themselves for some reason He or She or They cannot figure the hell out because there is no reason for The Troper to do so and It is really annoying when You are just trying to read the wiki.
  • sometimes they dont capitalize anything at all or even bother to use punctuation
  • Or They Capitalize Every Word As If It's Just A Really Long Title And When They Get Called Out On It, They Say "You're Trampling On My Freedom Of Expression!!!" (Yeah, Well, You're Trampling On My Eyes)
• They never resist inserting the notorious meme The Candle Jack Man, and always leave their sentences hanging like thi because they find long dead memes hilarious.
• They can't think for themselves so they always quote Too Much Punctuation, MST40K, and Riff Roll in whatever they are talking about so people will find their edits witty.
• They needlessly shoehorn the current page they're Pimping The Entries for onto every article that could possibly have anything to do with it, almost as if they're playing the "Six Degrees Of Separation Between Anyone And Kevin Bacon" game, just with whatever they're obsessed with in place of Kevin Bacon. And of course they're under the belief that if they're obsessed with something, everybody else is too.
• They list Everything As A Subversion because they believe their favorite show couldn't possibly play something straight. Or possibly because Subversions Are Just Cooler.
  • Sometimes that's not enough but something needs to be subverted brutally, horrifically or magnificently.
  • And their favorite shows never simply avert a trope. They avert them HARD.
  • Inversions, according to That Troper, are even cooler.
  • They list tropes as "partially" subverted because it was only slightly different from the trope description.

• That Troper. Just... That Troper.
• That Troper- What Do You Mean Its Not Utterly Awesome?!
• They list YMMV as a trope in work pages, or concludes every example with "but of course, Your Mileage May Differ".
  • As usual, your mileage may vary.
  • Then when they Learned Somewhat Better, they kept putting In Universal examples in the YMMV page.
• They eat babies
  • They make nonsensical examples
• They think thier favorite shows are God's gift to humanity and are a cure for all diseases, and deserve to be shoehorned onto every page in the wiki. They think your favorite shows are the worst shows ever to appear on television and you're a horrible person for liking them.

• Many articles are in the Forever A Red Link Club because of them.
  • They Ruined Those Pages on purpose.
• That Troper!
• They pothole the works in their examples instead of visually naming them.
• They write about most hated fictional villains in a laughably vitriolic and whiny Dramatically Badass tone that properly emphasizes what a horrid waste of existence this Compleeeeeete Moonnnsster is!

• They constantly launch new trope pages without posting them first on You Know That Thing What and then define the trope to appeal to their own personal preference because they think that since they're the one creating the trope that they can make the page about their own biased opinions.
• They think that every character they like is an Ensemble Black Horse.
  • They think every character they don't like is The Scrappy Guy.

• They capitalize a trope's title Wr Ong Bec Ause they're too Laz Y to use Bra Ckets for One Word Trop Es.

• They have to make sure everyone reading the main page of their favorite work knows that it's Humorous In Hindsight that a voice actor in the Swahili dub later voiced a very similar character in the Swahili dub of some other work.

• They add their favorite fetish webcomics to every single trope page like it's a classic work everyone can enjoy and is definitely NOT Masturbation Fuel.
• They think they're the boss.
• They will always, ALWAYS, shoehorn an example from their favorite show, even if it takes them all day to figure out how to fit it in.
• They think kids' shows are "baby shows" and that just because they were designed with kids in mind, they are for kids ONLY and that anyone who is over 12 and watches them is a Man Kid, despite the shows being advertised as being "for all ages".
• They hate on Disney all the doggone time!!!.
• They make fun of self-proclaimed bronies.
  • They always think that liking MLP must be sexual.

• They're a snarky asshole to new members who may not understand how tropes work, and belittle them every chance they get.

• They put everything in ALL CAPS when posting an edit reason, and angrily denounce whoever posted something against the current TV Tropes rules even if the entry hasn't been edited since 2010 when rules were different. They think this makes them more like That Other Troper, which of course it doesn't.
  • Then they complain about it in the discussion section, even though the edit was minor, completely livid over the fact that they have to clean up the kinds of mistakes they make themselves all the time.
  • Other times when they have fleeting moments of trying to be like That Other Troper they'll lazily delete No Context Examples without trying to code them out or elaborate on the descriptions themselves.
  • After being told not to "throw the baby out with the bath water" when blindly deleting trope examples they think don't fit the trope (instead of maybe trying to edit or elaborate on them a little so they do fit), they go find an actual baby in bath water and throw them out, just to be mean.
• They kick dogs.
• They actually worship the gods in the Troper Pantheon, but wish they'd delete all those pesky ones that aren't from their favorite shows.

• They get banned from the website for acting like a complete jackass, then create a blog complaining about how bad TV Tropes is, getting all of their stated reasons for doing so completely wrong.

  • I know, isn't that annoying?
    • It certainly is.
• They love their fedora, even though it seeps into his brain and makes them an Insufferable Douche. That's right - it's not That Troper, it's their shitty hat.
• Their favorite scene in Cowboy Beebop is the part where the title character is on his computer.
• Even a Sugar Critic would get a Hype Subversion from their favorite shows because they are just that bad at Gushing About Shows They Like.

• Though initially they thought the new TV Tropes layout that debuted after Fast Eddie's departure Ruined It Forever and threatened to quit Tv Tropes without actually planning on doing so, they were overjoyed to find that the strike-through markup worked on the wiki again. They went on to abuse it profusely by striking through things to be snarky and wouldn't you know it, it got taken away again.
• They use Indexes as tropes
  • They also use creators as tropes, and works as tropes.
• They delete entire pages of shows they don't like, and think they're such a clever vandal, until someone undoes their edit and bans them.
• They initiate discussions in the Trope Repair Store for tropes that have been up for years and no one had a problem with before, insisting the trope be deleted, just because they randomly decided one day to hate the trope with every fiber of their being.
• They think every trope they hate is akin to People Sit In Chairs, and overuse the phrase in every You Know That Trope When discussion.
  • Yet every trope they propose in YKTTW is a People Sitting In Chairs trope.
• When they add to Warp That Asop on the Dark Wiki their warps are either the actual aesop of the work, or just complaints. They then accuse perfectly good warps of being the actual aesop.
• They can find a Five Guy Band in every single work, even when the band has four, seven or fifteen members. Also they don't care if the members are barely connected nor if they never appear together.
• They're Chaotic Evil.
  • They make Character Alignment charts for every work they're a fan of and put links to them on work pages. Flame Bait Ensues.

• Straight lines.
• They Link To An Article While Editing That Article.
• They like Candlejack.
• They're rude as f-

  • They excessively indent.

• They read Tv Tropes in Night Vision so every page looks like it's on the Darth Wiki.
  • I use it because it's comfier on my eyes!
• They sexualize children's entertainment.
• They use Oh Damn It for threatening events in general instead of reactions to threatening events. They also use Funnily Missing The Meaning for Attract And Switch Quotes.
• They use Ho Yes for blatant homosexual actions.
• They delete examples without giving an explanation.
• They argue about religion.
• They can be sexist. If he's a man he will accuse women of being weak, sexualise them, or use stereotypes like Real Boys Hate Glucose and Girls Like Chocolates. If she's a woman, she will assume that All Of The Men Are Rapists or evil, and as a response to that, the aforementioned sexist men will believe that all feminists are misandrists and therefore it's right to be sexist against women.
• They think that everyone who's polite, sensitive, optimistic or a combination is a ManChild.
• They say your Crazy Mass Guessing has been Joshed without giving an explanation or any proof that the creator actually disproved the theory, just because they hate your theory.
• They literally overuse the word "literally" to the point where it's a Verbal Tick, when they actually mean figuratively.
• They change their avatars a lot, like, every week.
• They call any work of fiction that tries to say something about life and the human condition "too deep 4 u" or "pretentious". Because God forbid that a story try to be more than a shallow piece of populist entertainment.
• They list examples of underaged children for Fan Service tropes.
• They add tropes based on the fandom's immediate reaction to the newest trailer even if later information causes them to no longer apply.
• They add examples to Horror Fuel that aren't really scary unless you overthink it way too much.

They can't even write examples properly.

• They use Ad Blocker religiously, and sees TV Trope's popup that counts how many pages they've viewed in a month with adblock on as an invitation to beat last month's high score.
• They pothole to Precision F Bomb whenever they fucking swear.
• They use Red Links, Orange Links, Green Links, and Blue Links to get around limitations on colored text.
• In EVERY edit they make, they tack on "So Yeah, I Am Not Making This Up" at the end to sound funny. However, it always makes them look like an idiot with an incredibly low threshold of disbelief. Well yes, why wouldn't I make this up?
• They don't like being called Needy.
• THEY USE ALL CAPS OR Camel Case In Their Examples.
• They. Punctuate. Every. Single. Word. In. Their. Edits.
• They believe they have T-Word Privileges or can call anyone who despises them an ape. Take that, tropa!
• They've made TV Tropes Ruin Your Life FOREVER!
• They wish we never cut the pages on Pebbleskip and Snot Game. In fact, they may have created those pages in the first place.
• They Sit On Chairs.
• On one occasion, they sent a troll flag to Content Violation Discussions. This Troper will leave it at that.
  • Twice, actually.

Standard Flame Retardant rules apply. Do not name any names, insinuate with the insinuators, or add to the article unless it would contribute in a constructive fashion. Especially you, Adrian.

(And don't pothole to actual articles, c'mon.)

• They do exactly that when they edit this page.
  • (Well, they actually did one time.)

Or you are, in fact, That Troper or the Adrian in question, in which case, the wiki apologizes for your misfortune. Test

• New Theory: Adrian Is That Tropers Real Identity!

• They always have to have the last word.
  • ALWAYS.
