If you see a Zero-Context Example and can't personally expand it, the common protocol is to hide it using double-percentage markup ([=%%=] at the start of a line). This allows someone else who knows the work better to add context while keeping it invisible for the reader's sake. It is not recommended to delete these, since this has been known to lead to Administrivia/{{Edit War}}s.

That's essentially just adding a regular Zero-Context Example.
