Line 26:
When you add an example to a trope page, take care to put it in the proper section. Don't, for example, add an item for a film to an example for the book that inspired it just because they are related works. Put the new example under "Film" (and make sure it links to the page for that film, and not the book or a disambiguation page).
If there isn't a section for the particular kind of media your example comes from, feel free to add it! (We have a [[Template:Media Headers|standard list of media types]] we're trying to make sure is used everywhere, consult it if you need help.) Oh, and if you do add a new section, do make sure it's in proper alphabetical order ''vis-à-vis'' the other sections on the page. ("Other Media" and "Real Life" go at the end of the list, however, out of alphabetical order. Some tropes may have a "General" or "Meta" section; this will go at the top ''before'' the other sections. Occasionally a [[Trope Namer]] or [[Trope Codifier]] will be so substantial and/or influential that it, too, will get its own section at the top.)
If your example is an elaboration or another instance of the trope in a work that already has an entry in an existing section, that's something that sometimes gets called a "subexample" around here. Feel free to add it as a secondary bullet point under the "main" example.
