History Administrivia / TVTropesGlossary

* '''Doorstep baby draft''': A draft on the TLP that was abandoned or put Administrivia/UpForGrabs immediately after creation (so-named because, like an abandoned baby, the person who made it and is expected to be responsible for it abandons it when it's newly-made). Making these is considered rude because it adds to the backlog of unsponsored drafts.

* '''Snip snip''': A phrase used on the TropeRepairShop, indicating an opinion that the page under discussion ought to be '''cut'''. Usually used to imply the page is blatantly cut-worthy.

* '''[=AssCaps=]''': The [=AC:=] [[Administrivia/TextFormattingRules text effect]] that makes text bold and turns lowercase letters into smaller capital letters. [[AC:Initially used only for headers, it's also used to represent speech by characters with distinctly nonhuman voices, like [[Series/DoctorWho the Daleks]], SelfDemonstrating/GLaDOS, and ComicBook/{{Venom}}.]]

* '''[=AssCaps=]''': The [=AC:=] [[Administrivia/TextFormattingRules text effect]] that makes text bold and turns lowercase letters into smaller capital letters. [[AC:As shown here.]]

* '''[[Tropers/JackCossack Jacossackie]]''': Named after Tropers/JackCossack, it is used to depict a Guessing Game round that is really long and difficult. May or may not involves cars.

* '''[[Tropers/JackCossack Jacossackie}}''': Named after Tropers/JackCossack, it is used to depict a Guessing Game round that is really long and difficult. May or may not involves cars.

* '''[=AssCaps=]''': The [=AC:=] [[Administrivia/TextFormattingRules text effect]] that makes text bold and be shown on a separate line, similarly to headers.

* '''{{Discontinuity}}''': When something in a work's '''continuity''' is considered not to be in '''canon''' -- it exists as part of the work, but in relation to the work's other parts, it's dismissed as something that didn't ''really'' happen. When the creator of a work decides that something is not in canon (example: ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial''), you get CanonDiscontinuity. When the fans decide that something in continuity did not happen because they don't like it (''VideoGame/{{Bioshock 2}}''), you get FanonDiscontinuity.

* '''Badge of Honour''' or '''Badge of Honor''': If a trope or YMMV item is being used as a "badge of honour", that means that it attracts misuse due to people adding it to works it doesn't really apply to because they think it makes the work look good.

* '''Blank Edit''': An edit without any changes, so the page history will only show the edit reason if provided. This can refresh redlinks in indexes.

* '''Null Edit''': Opening the edit screen and saving the page without making any changes. These have several uses, like leaving a message in an edit reason, updating an index, or making a link blue. Sometimes they happen accidentally.

* '''Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease''': Notice that examples from RealLife are not to be added to a page. There are several reasons for this. The page might be about something that has UnfortunateImplications or would be considered an invasion of privacy. It might be so common in Real Life that [[Administrivia/PeopleSitOnChairs such examples aren't worth noting]]. Or it might be impossible for such a thing to happen outside of a fictional setting.

* '''The Archive/FiveP''' (Place for Purging Porn and Pedo-Pandering): A group formerly responsible for reviewing potential violations of Administrivia/TheContentPolicy, before such reviews were deferred to the general public in 2022.
