Main Topic Fiction

Television Tropes & Idioms (TV Tropes) is a "catalogue of the tricks of the trade for writing fiction". Its articles can be roughly categorized into two areas: trope pages, containing descriptions and examples of common tropes and idioms in television, cinema, literature, comics, etc., and pages that contain brief introductions to specific works of fiction and lists of tropes found in them.

[edit] Guidelines

TV Tropes explicitly stresses that it is not related to Wikipedia and that there is no such thing as notability on it.

[edit] History

On January 12, 2008, the main database of the website malfunctioned, rendering all its contents unusable. Additionally, all backups since October 2007 were discovered to be corrupted, so the entire wiki was "warped" to the state of three months before. As of January 23, the damage is mostly cleaned up, as the community had joined forces in recovering the lost content from caches of other websites such as Google. Small formatting errors still persist. The incident has since become known as "The Great Crash".
