Commenting out Zero Context Examples. Just the trope name on its own is not enough. Also, under no circumstances put the trope name in spoiler tags. If adding it constitutes a spoiler, re-consider whether or not it should be added at all; remember, it\'s not necessarily to catalogue EVERY trope used by a work.
