The “lampshade plugin” for DokuWiki is an add-on for the CMS that offers website managers and users the Unlimited POWER!!! to add links to the infamous site known as “TV Tropes” in their pages.

“TV Tropes” is a fairly addictive website where people who would otherwise spend their time doing things economically profitable for society, dedicate themselves to analyze and catalogue patterns reocurring in media. Ever wondered why villain traps are so easily escapable, or why the black guy always dies first, or why despite being distant or barely known, it is always the young hero's town that gets burned to the ground? At “Tv Tropes” you and your poor visitors will discover the answers to those questions… and will become submerged into endless other related questions for hours, engrossing the forces of nonworking internet people. FOR SCIENCE!¹⁾.

-- Demo and Information Site --

Use the download link above to install this plugin.

Whether you have working interwiki shortcut to TV Tropes or not, the plugin will configure itself automatically, only changing the syntax of the plugin to adapt itself to the shortcut you have.

Just use the usual interwiki syntax to link to TV Tropes using one of their “wiki words” (ie, camelcased words like DokuWikiIsGreat). If you have no interwiki shortcut enabled, the plugin assigns to itself the shortcut “tvtropes”. Original, huh?

This link leads to the [[tvtropes>LOLCats|page about cat-related image macros]] in TVTropes.

As with normal interwiki links, things like icons²⁾ and the target configuration take place. Smart, uh?

TV TROPES IS A FAIRLY ADDICTIVE WEBSITE!!! DON'T TELL [your users] I DIDN'T WARN YOU!

For more information on the plugin, including a Waive of Responsibilities on my part, check the Demo site linkes above.
