Line 6:
For more detail than that:
On a works page, for example, we have a list of trope names. These get one bullet (<nowiki>*</nowiki>). If there is more than one example of the trope in the work, each of them gets two bullets (<nowiki>**</nowiki>) on their own line. If there is only one example, it goes on the line with the trope title.
* Trope Name: In episode "The Episode" (1x1), Alice uses this trope to ...
* Another Trope:
** In "Another Episode" (1x2), Alice bangs it out
** In "Yet Another Episode" (1x3), Bob subverts it
results in:
* Trope Name: In episode "The Episode" (1x1), Alice uses this trope to ...

* Yet Another Trope:
** In "Finale" (1x13), Alice bangs it out at great length.
::So much length, we need multiple paragraphs to explain the length.
which produces this:
* Yet Another Trope:
** In "Finale" (1x13), Alice bangs it out at great length.
▲** In "Finale" (1x13), Bob subverts it. That's what he does. He's subversive.
::So much length, we need multiple paragraphs to explain the length.
** In "Finale" (1x13), Bob subverts it. That's what he does. He's subversive.
Let's say ''Carol and Susan'' and ''Alice and Bob'' are two shows. Each should have a separate first-bullet point. Like this:
* ''Alice and Bob'': this trope is used when...
* ''Carol and Susan'': this trope is used when...
On a trope page, you will sometimes run into a situation where you want to list multiple examples from the same media or series. Don't list one example, and then indent the others under it. Instead, use:
