* ''Literature/TheIliad'': Some of the most famous parts -- the invocation of the Achilles heel and the Trojan Horse, for instance -- are not actually in the poem. Instead, they're in ''Literature/TheOdyssey''. Similarly, the cause of the war and the recruiting of many of the warriors are told in outside sources. To be accurate, the ''Iliad'' and ''Odyssey'' are the only surviving parts of a cycle of epic poems about the Trojan War. We do have descriptions of what was in those lost parts though, and that includes most of the background mentioned. And neither the Achilles Heel nor Trojan Horse appear in ''The Odyssey''. They appear in ''Literature/TheAeneid'', written by Roman Vergilius (Virgil) some 700 years later.

* Shad Brooks of WebVideo/{{Shadiveristy}} discusses this occasionally, but he claims it is a sign of ''bad'' writing, especially if the work in question is an adaptation. He says that the adaptation's lore must be self-contained, and the viewer must be able to piece the lore together without consulting the source material.

In order to ease out the wording on the Lackadaisy entry, I've made each character name to link to their respective trope, rather than leave them separate.

* Some of the ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue'' [=DVDs=] have character profiles which give information on all of the characters that isn't found in the series, such as backstories, hometowns, and explanations for plotholes. For some characters, this is the only evidence of their full names. For instance, Sister's full name is [[spoiler: Kaikaina Grif]], Junior's is [[spoiler: Blarggity Blarg-Tucker]], and Sarge's is [[spoiler: Sargeant S. Sarge III]].
* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'':
** Creator/MontyOum's posted several full models of the show's characters and their weapons; this is many weapon names were revealed, and it's also how Junior's real name (Hei Xiong) and Adam's last name (Taurus) were first revealed.
** Things like character semblances and the like are often revealed in the show's podcast and at show panels, with one (controversial) example being Ironwood's semblance, [[TheDeterminator Mettle]].
** Torchwick's ice-cream-themed sidekick is known simply as "Neo" in the show proper. Spin-off media such as ''WebAnimation/RWBYChibi'' and ''Literature/RWBYRomanHoliday'' give her full name as "Neopolitan", with the latter revealing that it was a MeaningfulRename following her parents' deaths.
* ''WebAnimation/TrickMoon'': Characters that only show up in the opening theme are named in posts on creator Geneva Hodgson's twitter account, which also includes character details not shown in the short proper.

* The only way to know without a doubt who is who in ''Art/TheLastSupper'' is to look at Creator/LeonardoDaVinci's notes that specified which names of each individual in the painting. Sure, Jesus was easy to spot out, but it's harder to tell the androgynous figure next to Christ is John without Leonardo's confirmation.
* 20th century Czech pulp and scientific illustrator Zdenek Burian's images of dinosaurs and other prehistoric fauna and flora are among the most widely reproduced pieces of paleoart ever made. A lot of his early works were companion pieces to short stories written by his scientific mentor and consultant Josef Augusta, published in books reaching back to the 1930s, after which they were generally reproduced with purely scientific text. Burian's famous painting of an ''[[http://zburian.blogspot.com/2012/03/iguanodon.html Iguanodon]]'' standing among scattered bones for instance accompanied a story of an old ''Iguanodon'''s final journey to a [[ElephantGraveyard dinosaur graveyard]]. Knowing the stories helps explain certain details seen in Burian paintings, revealing their subjects to be special individuals rather than just generic representations of animal species.
