How is "Chaotic Evil" not a trope? If you had followed the link to the "Tropes" category, you would see that alignments and such fit the idea of "trope" perfectly; namely "a quality or property". Contrary to what people assume, the term was not invented by the TV Tripe for Idiots Wiki (and most of the articles there aren't tropes anyway), nor does it mean "something that is on that wiki". Wikipedia explains it far better than I could:

"In a broad sense, qualities can also be known as properties or tropes.

Qualities do not exist on their own, but they need another entity (in many formal ontologies this entity is restricted to be an endurant) which they occupy. Examples of qualities and the values they assume include colors (red color), or temperatures (warm).

Most formal upper-level ontologies recognize qualities, attributes, tropes, or something related, although the exact classification may differ. Some see qualities and the values they can assume (sometimes called quale) as a separate hierarchy besides endurants and perdurants (example: DOLCE). Others classify qualities as a subsection of endurants, e.g. the dependent endurants (example: BFO). Others consider property-instances or tropes that are single characteristics of individuals as the atoms of the ontology, the simpler entities of which all other entities are composed, so that all the entities are sums or bundles of tropes."

I think you need to revert that edit (and undelete the Tropes category).
