Silent Hunter: Is the ''24'' entry talking about the Day 5 Prequel? Because that was actually aired in the UK.

{{Citizen}}: I'm confused. I could have sworn this page listed HigurashiNoNakuKoroNi as an example, but it's not even in the page history... Just what is it that I'm remembering? o.o Bah, I'll just do it myself.

Cephas: I think Heroes should be mentioned in All There in the Manual, because they leave a lot of important details in the online graphic novels.

PaulA: I've taken out

*The ''DoctorWho'' serial "Dragonfire" included a literal {{Cliffhanger}} in which the reason the Doctor was risking his life wasn't obvious. The writer assured fans it would all make sense in the {{Novelization}}.

because that wasn't AllThereInTheManual (which would mean that the explanation was deliberately left out of the televised version); the reason the Doctor was risking his life was ''supposed'' to be obvious in the televised version, but ended up being obscured by bad direction and set design.

Took out the ''TheFairlyOddparents'' example, which is one of many that fall into the "I can see how you came to that, but not quite". The manual in that episode was, an actual manual. It has nothing to do to small, but informative tidbits in regard to the backstory or infrastructure of a show being released through supplemential materials such as comics, DVDs, video games, etc. That should be a trope: EverythingIsAParody. Can't tell you how many times I've ran into that.

Or maybe DidTheyReadAnythingOtherThanTheTitle? Bit of a mouthful though.

ced1106: Is there a trope, "All There In The Manual (which Isn't There)"? This would encompass references to some manual or other important artifact which doesn't really exist, such as HP Lovecraft's Necronomicon.

PaulA: Does TomeOfEldritchLore match what you have in mind?

{{Fifthman}}: Should I put an example in for flight simulators? A typical modern flight sim like LOMAC or Falcon 4.0 has a manual between 100 and 700 pages, not including the in-game tutorials. It feels like a full course in combat aviation.
