All The Tropes is this very website! To learn more about the background of this website, its rules and policies, see our "About Us" page.

However, that's not what this page is about. This website is also a creative work, so it gets its very own list of tropes!

Tropes used in All The Tropes include:

Banned On TV Tropes: We have many works that were censored off TV Tropes, and will continue to allow articles that would be censored by their current standards, so long as they are tropable works.
- Also, some of the administrators of ATT were literally banned on TV Tropes by its former owner Fast Eddie, for challenging his decisions and policies, or for exercising their rights under Creative Commons. (To be absolutely honest, the new regime has reversed the bans and invited back at least some of ATT's admins. None have so far taken them up on it.)
Censorship Bureau: Averted as much as legally allowable.
David Versus Goliath: One of the main goals of this website is to take on its archrival, TV Tropes. Hopefully, we'll see the magic of Underdogs Never Lose happen.
Defector From Decadence: The creators of ATT felt that TV Tropes had fallen too far away from its original principles to be a good resource for troping so they started their own troping wiki as a remedy to the problem.
Friendly Rivalry: Despite differences in opinion, ATT and TVT have openly avoided antagonizing one another, agreeing to merely respect each other's license change, and have even cooperated to stop vandals who gave both their wikis trouble.
Freeware: All The Tropes uses MediaWiki, is hosted on a donation supported wiki, charges nothing for any of its services, and allows unlimited forking, even for commercial purposes, so long as its copyright license is honored on any fork (and that license allow for commercial use if desired).
Our Lawyers Advised This Trope: Our Orain overlords advised the following disclaimer be put on the All the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game page.

All The Tropes and Orain are not responsible for any damages that result from drinking games,
including but not limited to damages to your liver and other people's cars.

- After the move necessitated when Orain was Killed Off for Real, this now reads:

All The Tropes and Miraheze are not responsible for any damages that result from drinking games,
including but not limited to damages to your liver and other people's cars.

Rousseau Was Right: A running theme of the rules of the site is a belief that deliberately encouraging the editors to do the right thing by site policy and other editors will lead to a productive editing environment, as opposed to assuming the editors are easily led astray fools who need rules to keep them in line.
