Just to say that the example offered that half the time it's probably better to list the Sub-Trope as opposed to the Super-Trope. The exceptions would chiefly fit one of two categories:

When there are multiple SubTropes of a Super-Trope displayed in the work; in this case, the Super-Trope should be in the main tier with the Sub-Examples being the ones explained in the second tier.
When the type of Sub-Trope is itself a Spoiler, taking into account the Spoiler Policy.
