Example Explanation Density: Difference between revisions

 

The Example Explanation Density is usually a result of some of the following considerations, particular to individual tropers.

* On the trope page, a detailed enough description that someone unfamiliar with the show can understand why the trope applies. (Note that sometimes - like for most [[Title Tropes]] and [[Naming Conventions]] - this can be extremely brief.)

* On the series page, enough to jog the memory of someone who is familiar with the show - generally this means just a character or episode name, or maybe a fragment of dialogue.

'''Highest'''

 

* ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'' has [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/longarticles.php by far the longest page] for any [[Works|work]] on the wiki, as due to its [[Troperiffic]] nature and the fact it's so damn fun to write examples for, most of its tropes are paragraph-long explanations - in extreme cases [[Thread Mode|threadmoded]] into separate examples. Through the efforts of a number of ''seriously'' [[Tropes Will Ruin Your Life|dedicated]] [[Entry Pimp|Entry Pimps]], it has around the same number of examples on its page and on individual trope pages.

* ''[[Saint Seiya]]'' has, through the countless otaku-hours of effort, [[Walls of Text]] on the series itself. All that's missing is a comfy seat and some popcorn for readers to actually "see" the show.

* ''[[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|Lampshade Hangings]], so this probably has to do with connecting a single trope to many others.

* ''[[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.

* ''[[Gladiator]]''

* ''[[Trivia/Paranoia|Paranoia]]''
