* Frequently in ''[[New York Magician]]''. There's one arc that opens with a detailed account of firefighters fighting a gas fire. Instead of just "they pour water on it", Michel's narration notes the use of foam as a suppressor, and using water mainly to douse any flames that escape the foam. This does beg the question of why a financial guy would even know so much about firefighting, but one can presume he simply looked it up between the end of that story arc and writing it down. |

* [[This Very Wiki]] often falls into [[Did Not Do the Research]], but those are [[Natter|usually corrected]]. The [[Useful Notes]] pages are an obvious example, but one can learn a surprising amount of useful facts just by going on a [[Wiki Walk]] here. Now, head over to [[Television Is Trying to Kill Us]], [[Cowboy Bebop At His Computer]], or [[You Fail Indexes Forever]] and learn what television doesn't know. |

* The ''Transformers'' Wiki in general applies this by listing continuity errors within episodes, even pointing out obscure [[Mythology Gag|Mythology Gags]]. ''Very'' obscure. |

* Some roleplays such as ''[[We Are Our Avatars (Roleplay)|We Are Our Avatars]]'' and ''[[The Massive Multi Fandom RPG]]'' show this trope at times. For the former's example, in the "Revenge of the Spark" arc, [[User:Arcadiarika]] used her knowledge of ''[[Power Rangers]]'' and ''[[Super Sentai]]'' by helping to confirm the power of the [[Power Rangers ZEO|Zeo Crystals]], finding out how the Morphing Grid works, and creating the [[Canon Foreigner]] Lunara Knight from ''[[Rescue Sentai Go Go Five]]'''s Beast Demon-Hunter Sieg's suit and giving it to [[Gender Bender|Catherine]] [[Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue|Grayson]]. She then did it again by creating the Red Legendary Ranger, whose powers are based off of Aka Red--specifically, she can transform into any past Red Ranger at will, from [[Mighty Morphin Power Rangers|the original Red Ranger]] to [[Power Rangers Samurai|the Red Samurai Ranger]].<br /><br />[[User:Hydronix]] has the knowledge of ''Quest 64'', introducing characters from the game and sticking to their powers. |
