Line 30:
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.
If you're adding an entirely new example to an existing section, put it at the end of the section. (This is to make it easier for readers to find new material.) 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.)
