Line 13:
In any case, if an example doesn't fit, don't add it. Someone else will just delete it anyway. The absolute worst case scenario is when the examples override the intentions of the description, which makes it [[Trope Decay|a different trope altogether]].
Compare [[All The Tropes:Not a Deconstruction|Not a Subversion]], where an example is a legitimate [[Playing with a Trope]], but it's usually labeled a subversion when it's another form of playing.
{{Examples|It happens often with these tropes:}}
Line 57:
* Some links to "Do Not Want" are people saying that they "do not want" something to happen. The article is actually about humorous bootleg subtitles. This resulted [[Translation Train Wreck|in a rename to end the confusion.]]
* [[Death Is Cheap]] does not refer to any one character coming [[Back from the Dead]]. It means that it's common to do so.
* [[Deconstruction]] refers to a work that takes an established genre and adds a layer of realism by establishing why associated tropes are used and how they would affect the real world. It is not [[Darker and Edgier]] applied to an entire genre. [[All The Tropes:Not a Deconstruction|We have a whole page on that topic.]]
* [[Deus Ex Machina]] is an unrealistic or out-of-place plot device which shows up out of nowhere to resolve the plot. It is not a [[Pretentious Latin Motto]] meaning "plot points I think are stupid." Of course, the terms gets thrown around a lot in this manner outside the wiki too, making its misuse [[Truth in Television]].
* [[Deus Sex Machina]] is not any sex that's a plot point. It's an ability or item that only works if someone has sex.
