Tropedia

  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

At times even collectible card games have a pool of Meaningful Names to draw from.

  • In Magic the Gathering we have Mirri the cat warrior. "Mirri" is Finnish for "pussy", and is a popular name given to cats there.
    • Juzam means "evil" in Arabic; following that, Visions gave us Aku Djinn.
    • Pyrexia is the correct medical term for "controlled hyperthermia," or a fever. Pthisis is the correct term for pulmonary TB or another wasting disease. Phyrexia is where those with phthisis were sent by Yawgmoth. Also, that setting and creatures from it frequently have the Infect special ability.
    • One of the key battles fought during the Thran-Phyrexian War was at Meghiddon Defile. Meghiddon as in Ar-meghiddon. Especially appropriate given that it featured the use of a stone charger. ("Defile" is also somewhat appropriate given that Phyrexia has a pretty solid line in Body Horror.)
