Line 31:
If you're adding an entirely new example to an existing section, put it at the end of the section. If you just drop it in at the top (or worse, at random in the middle for no good reason), an admin will probably move it to the end of the section within a day or so, so it'll end up there anyway, so why not start with it in the right place?
Some pages, by their nature, do not have sections -- either they are tropes specific to a particular medium, or they are medium-specific subpages of example-overloaded tropes. In these cases, add your example to the bottom of the page. (Yes, we know that many of these are alphabetized; they came that way from TV Tropes. However, we feel that ease of finding new entries outweighs the aesthetic value of an alphabetized page.)
Make sure your example is properly marked up -- the work name should be a link and emphasized as is proper for the kind of work it is (see the other sections on this page for what you need to do if you don't already know). ''Do'' make sure you're linking to the right page, not a redirect, a disambiguation page, or a page for a different version of the work (or a different work entirely that has the same name). ''Don't'' bury the link to the work in a pothole on a character name or phrase that will not be obvious to the casual reader who might not know the work.
