{{quote|"As a trope page discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Wikipedia approaches one."}}

A common cry among traditionalist tropers is "We Are Not Wikipedia!" This invokes a slippery slope fallacy that implies that any change to the wiki will lead to All The Tropes losing its "character" and becoming [[Serious Business]]. Of course, [[Wikipedia]] has a different mission in mind, so such a comparison is moot. Besides, when was the last time you heard a Wikipedian claim "We Are Not All The Tropes"? Lesser used, typically as a response, is "We Are Not 4chan!", implying a descent into chaotic snarkiness.

A subset of [[Godwin's Law]], and just like that one, invoking this law means [[Memetic Mutation|the person in question automatically loses the discussion]].

For the record, it is fine to disagree with the site's editorial or administrative policies (this isn't [[TV Tropes]], after all). However, invoking blanket arguments such as "[[Ruined FOREVER|ruining the wiki]]" renders your opinion uselessly vague. It should go without saying that different people have different ideas about what makes the wiki fun and useful. Be specific and argue constructively - [[All The Tropes:Policy for Wiki Staff|even with the mods]].
