One of the main inspirations for the Arcana Wiki was the TV Tropes Wiki. It discusses tropes and themes common to movies, television series, novels, and even gaming, and uses a similar structure - first a short section which describes the basic concepts of the entry, and then a long list of examples from all sorts of media. Editors who wish to elaborate on or refute an earlier entry can use the nested bulleted list structure to do just that.
I hope that users of the Arcana Wiki (how about calling them "arcanists"?) will do the same and likewise build on each other ideas in the "Game and Story Use" sections.
