Tidy organized bookshelves or a pile of laundry on the floor can reflect what a character is like behind closed doors. But when that door is closed, another opportunity for characterization presents itself. One way to efficiently communicate that a teenage character is meant to be angsty is to show their bedroom door covered in stuff like caution tape and "KEEP OUT" signs.<p style="font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; font-family: sans-serif; margin-top: 10px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Doors are a good way of conveying how a character wants to be seen.
Put all "See also", "Compare/Contrast" and similar links at the end of the description. A sentence identifying the source of the trope name is optional, but appreciated. Some tropes have a small list of subtropes. These should be bulleted Wiki Words at the bottom. :

<ul style="font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; font-family: sans-serif; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">* ''Film/WhatKindOfMotherAreYou'': Kelly has a prominent "No Entry" sign on her bedroom door, highlighting her terrible relationship with her mother.

[[folder:Literature]]
* Literature/AdrianMole: In Growing Pains, Adrian attaches a sign to his bedroom door saying "Attention! Nobody allowed past this point", when he is studying for his exams. One morning, he oversleeps, and nobody comes in to wake him.
* Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows: At number twelve, Grimmauld Place, Harry looks into the bedrooms belonging to the late Sirius and Regulus. While Sirius's door bears a nameplate simply saying "Sirius", Regulus's door has a pompous sign which Percy Weasley might have written, saying "Do not enter without the express permission of Regulus Arcturus Black". One purpose of this sign is actually to spell out Regulus's initials, to link him with a note in the previous book signed R. A. B.

[[folder:Media Category 1]]
* ''Film/ANewHope'': This is the generic format for an example. Check out Administrivia/HowToWriteAnExample

* All trope proposals on the Trope Launch Pad should have 3 examples minimum. Read up on the Administrivia/TLPGuidelines ''before'' making a draft.

* All examples should be categorized under Media Categories. [[Administrivia/MediaCategories Here's a list of the most common ones]]. Your proposal doesn't need explicit folders if you only have a handful of examples, but the examples themselves still need to be sectioned off into these categories.

* Be sure to arrange all examples as a bulleted list. If your example doesn't have a work page, it's okay to set up a Administrivia/RedLink to it.

* Before launching the trope, the examples need to be alphabetized by the name of the work.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Media Category 2]]
* There is no strict format for examples, in order to keep them from being boringly alike. However, don't hide the name of the work in a pothole or assume that you don't need to mention it at all because everyone will recognize the character name or situation. The name of the work should occur within the first few words of the example.
* Be sure to give context to all examples that explain how they fit within the trope. Don't just gesture at it by saying "it does this", those are what we call Administrivia/ZeroContextExample.
* Multiple citations from a single series can go either into one large entry or several individual entries.
** Multiple citations, if put in individual entries, are on another level of bullets.
** Don't have two levels for only one item, though. See Administrivia/ExampleIndentationInTropeLists.
* Sometimes dialogue may be quoted in an example. Use the following template:
-->'''Character One:''' Witty comment.\\
'''Character Two:''' Snappy riposte.\\
'''Character One:''' Devastating put-down.
* Subversions, inversions and counterexamples can either go in the same list as examples, or have their own separate lists following it. Usually the latter occurs when subversions, inversions, and counterexamples are common. Do us all a favor and make sure your examples are [[Administrivia/NotASubversion actually subversions]], though.
* Keep "in-line" examples of the trope to a minimum.
* [[Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotRecent Don't call something "recent"]] or talk about "last week's episode" or things like that. If your examples are good ones, they'll be around for a long time, and "recent" loses all meaning. Use episode names, or numbers, or give at least a rough date ("In August of 2011...")

BananaSauz is a sad and lonely aquatic creature that lives underneath a rock at the bottom of your local pond. It also occasionally tries to be helpful and usually fails. It is also kind of alright at playing video games.
