It's notable that sometimes an example of a trope gets added to the trope page, sometimes to the show page, and sometimes ''both.'' Also interesting is when a show page has a mix of types - some tropes on the list get no description, some get the brief description, some get the long one.
Generally, [[Trope Overdosed]] series will tend towards no or light descriptions (but considering the fanbase, that's no guarantee of brevity). Perhaps sadly, little known series with small entries will themselves have little or no trope explanations. Additionally, newer released media, ''especially'' blockbuster movies or popular TV series and anime, will tend towards heavy density (as well as [[Natter]] and [[Justifying Edit

* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'' has a long list of tropes on its page, and many have explanations. Most are only a sentence or so, although some are a bit longer. The series [[Troperiffic|pulls out a ridiculous amount of tropes]] and [[Lampshade Hanging
* ''[[Blade Runner]]'' is well linked to other trope pages, and provides a happy medium of brief descriptions for those tropes listed in it.
* ''[[Power Rangers]]'' is just beginning to get to this stage.
