All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XIX

[robkelk]

The problem with Rob's template is that it's missing all of the interesting fields.

* Elevator Pitch: an overall summary of what the thing is.  In Wikipedia this would be the first paragraph, but we tend to be more creative writing oriented so frequently goofy.  The single most important thing IMO.
* Genres: A list of genres.  The stupid reason why genres aren't listed on a page is because they often make terrible examples.  And this is because genres are fundamentally collections of tropes, so all of the other tropes are the justification.
* Central Theme: Maybe?  This one is hard, but sort of at the core of lit crit.  And, of course, somewhat subject to debate.  But everything has one.  I mean, take Aria: "Life is more enjoyable if you slow down and go with the flow."
* The Wiki Rule: Link to any wikis dedicated this work.

I kind of wonder on implementation of the `genre` field what we want to do.  Given dates, it might be possible to automate categories like "Action Films of the 2000s".  It could always be added later.

Ask, and ye shall receive. Same sample page.

Although you have to pick one wiki.

EDIT: I didn't do Central Theme since you put a "Maybe?" on it on your list... and I'm wondering whether people would confuse it with Elevator Pitch.
