* ApprovalOfGod: Because of the large overlap between players and staff members, there are many examples of staff members approving community worlds or other fan content.
** "Moderator Land" by Stubby was named and famed for its several mod-exclusive text blocks, all added from staff members over the years.
** Featured worlds and campaigns are based off this concept.
** Former moderator Koto created [[https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=5705 The Level List]], featuring hundreds of levels. Kirby of the Campaign Team created [[https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=42627 The Level Library 2]], a similar list.
* ContentLeak: Leaks usually come in two forms: unfinished content left in the game intended for a future update, and text found in private update worlds through hacking.
** In early 2012, pictures of the Industrial Pack, Metal Plate backgrounds, and Robot smiley from the [=PlayerIO=] website were [[https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=1051 leaked]] by capasha. In the same thread, they would later leak [[https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?pid=41964#p41964 coin gates]], [[https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?pid=41966#p41966 pipes, the LOL smiley]], [[https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?pid=41976#p41976 badges]], and [[https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?pid=41978#p41978 woots]] across 2012.

** The 2016 AprilFoolsDay update had some data left in that revealed the {{Fairytale}} Pack plus three new smileys: Sick, Unsure, and Goofy. All of this properly added to the game less than two hours after this was discovered.
** A forum user found the Summer 2016 update world before it was intended, containing some private info about the content of the update, such as a new pack, three new [[{{Avatar}} smileys]], and new white blocks.
** The Aviator, Sleepy, and Seagull smileys were discovered in August 2016 before their proper release.
** The then-hidden badge for the Summer campaign was found on the files of ''Everybody Edits'''s website.

** The November 2016 update was leaked, including the info of a Construction Pack, Black Aura, three new smileys, and an unfinished new LoadingScreen.
** The Spy and Devil Skull smileys were leaked November 5, 2016. A day later, the Perpetual Frustration campaign was leaked, which would give out said Devil Skull smiley as a prize.

** In August 2017, the Journey campaign was [[https://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?pid=673435#p673435 leaked]] by [=Luka504=].

* DummiedOut:
** A few smilies and blocks were left unusable in the game before being published by fan demand.
** Part of an unfinished world by the administrator [=MrShoe=] seemed to imply it would be a fourth tutorial.
* FanNickname:
** Many platforming obstacles (commonly called "{{minigame}}s" themselves) are given nicknames that are often recognized. The most common of these is a "hook jumps."
** The once-planned UsefulNotes/{{Unity}} Update is most often referred to as "[[{{Portmanteau}} UnitEE]]." When this was replaced with plans to remake the game in a new engine, this was likewise known as the "[=rEEboot=]."
* FlipFlopOfGod: The creators of the game seem to be unable to settle on certain terms. "Coin door" is also referred to as "coindoor," and "surprise smiley" once as "the ohh smiley."
* HeyItsThatSound: The coin sound was once ripped off from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'', complete with the low-quality artifacts from the recording.
* LineToGod: As of 2015, the staff members play the game and interact with the fans. This is understandable, since all of them are {{Promoted Fanboy}}s who were originally just part of the {{fandom}}. Some also use the [[http://forums.everybodyedits.com official forum]] to communicate. This applied, but to a lesser extent, for the original staff members, who were more limited and inactive.[[note]]Except [=RPGMaster2000=], who was well-appreciated by the {{fandom}} for interacting a lot and responding to concerns and questions.[[/note]]
* TheMerch: Official t-shirts and mugs have been sold as merchandise for the game.
* MidDevelopmentGenreShift: Some fans think that starting around 2012-2013, the game has turned to a "more RPG feel" from the original experimental sandbox it started as. As of 2015, the new staff team have attempted to WinBackTheCrowd by regaining its original atmosphere, with some level of success.
* MilestoneCelebration:
** The game celebrated its fifth anniversary in 2015 with a special 400×400 world in the lobby, as well as party hats temporarily on every smiley.
** Although the Best of EE campaign was released before the game's tenth anniversary, it was made to celebrate the ten separate years the game has been online. Each of the ten tiers represents a popular level from that year, and the [[HubLevel level the campaign itself is hosted in]] talks about the new major additions and changes to the game that happened each year.
* OfficialFanSubmittedContent
** In 2013, there was a smiley contest where the winner smiley would be used in-game. It turns out that three different smileys got in-game from it.
** In late 2014, [[PromotedFanboy TOOP was accepted as a new graphics artist for the game]].
** In early 2015, a contest for the game's LoadingScreen was made.
* PromotedFanboy:
** Members of [=EX=] Crew were once moderators for the official wiki.
** [=RPGMaster2000=] went from posting on the forums to becoming an official staff member.
** TOOP, also known as "Brushfire," has had his graphics accepted in a few updates. The first of these (disregarding the [[OfficialFanSubmittedContent smiley contest]]) was the Autumn 2014 package. In 2015, TOOP became an administrator and primary graphics creator.
** The Guardian Update in 2014 had four users be promoted to moderators (formerly guardians). A few months later, two of said Moderators are promoted even higher (along with another user who was not a Moderator in the first place), as the new development team. From this point onward, several other users become Moderators also.
** Nou, [=EX=] Crew member and long-time player, eventually became owner of the game.
* ReferencedBy: ''VideoGame/ShellShockLive'' once had an [[https://web.archive.org/web/20110926065248/http://shellshocklive.forumify.com/viewtopic.php?id=262 EE Bomb]] in the appearance of a smiley as a reference to ''Everybody Edits''.
* RunningTheAsylum: As ''Everybody Edits'' goes on, it seems to become more and more like how players have wanted it to be. Coin gates, blue coin doors, signs, invisible portals, global switches, and [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] were all common game suggestions before being added to the game. It helps that most of the staff members [[PromotedFanboy were once regular players themselves]].
* SavedFromDevelopmentHell: In early 2012, there were several months with no updates as Chris was hiring [=MrShoe=]. Later, there was a whole year break because the staff got busy on other things. They eventually made more updates, then [[SelfDeprecation joked about what happened]].
* ScheduleSlip: During the weekly updates, there were occasional slip-ups. Though, it eventually turned into DevelopmentHell. The staff eventually got rid of a schedule entirely, going back to inconsistent updates every few weeks.
* UrbanLegendOfZelda:
** There were once several "secret moderators." The most common speculation was that the player [=Benje00=] was a secret moderator, to the point of becoming a MemeticMutation. This became HilariousInHindsight to some when he actually ''did'' [[PromotedFanboy become a moderator]].
** On AprilFoolsDay 2016, a blog post stated that the FanBoy III smiley can be gotten by collecting 100,000 blue coins in one world. Even though that's too many to fit in one world, some players believed it.
* TheWikiRule: There was an official wiki for the game. While it was lost (along with the forum), it came back [[TheBusCameBack several years later]] [[http://wiki.everybodyedits.com/ here]], with only a few of the original pages moving over. Between the two official wikis, a fan-run wiki popped up [[http://everybodyedits.wikia.com/ here]].
* WorkingTitle: Once referred to as ''{{Platform|Game}} [[WideOpenSandbox Sandbox]]''.
