If it\\\'s \\\"[[BilingualBonus probably unintentional]]\\\", it\\\'s not an example. Morgoth isn\\\'t a \\\"[[GeniusBruiser genius]]\\\" in a mortal sense, he\\\'s a god. Ungoliant wasn\\\'t \\\"[[FromNobodyToNightmare nobody]]\\\" to begin with. If you begin an example with \\\"[[HordeOfAlienLocusts technically...]]\\\", it\\\'s not an example (and more to the point, A LOT OF hungry creatures \\\"\\\'\\\'is\\\'\\\' this trope\\\", not ONE hungry creature). Two chapters is not [[OneSceneWonder one scene]]. TheStarscream is a treacherous minion, whereas Ungoliant was an independent villain who allied with Morgoth; she is also not a [[WomanInBlack \\\"woman\\\" in black]].

Examples should be \\\'\\\'\\\'actual examples\\\'\\\'\\\' of the trope, not things that merely remind you of the trope.

Maybe for now we could put them all under one folder called \

Maybe for now we could put them all under one folder called \\\"Companion Books\\\" or something similar to that, and if a number of examples for any one book or \\\"series\\\" starts piling up, give that book\\\'s series (Cahill Files, Rapid Fire) its own folder. For that matter, the Black Book of Buried Secrets needs a folder too, and could probably go under that... and while we\\\'re at it, we should probably also create some folders for the trading cards and online game...

edit: Added a \\\"Companion Books\\\" folder, with the books\\\' names in parentheses to minimize confusion.
