Added DiffLines:
* ExoticExtendedMarriage: Polygamy is considered the norm for rich men, and in fact it is their wives who decide to bring more women into the marriage. While the husbands have to agree on who they're marrying, the wives are the ones who manage the money and represent the family politically. Uluula is actually offended when Jason is put off by the idea of having multiple wives, saying that she shouldn't have to handle his estate by herself.
Added DiffLines:
* {{Matriarchy}}: Women have the majority of the economic and political power on Ludus, which Dolos modeled after the rest of the universe (he was too lazy to invent a new social system). In marriages, the women are in charge of keeping the household organized, including the money, and are the ones who decide how many children to have and whether or not to bring more wives into the family. Below the ruling classes, men and women are about equal, with women showing up just as much as men as guards and soldiers.

Do ''not'' put the name of the trope at the top of the text -- when it's displayed in the Wiki, that will automatically be done for you.
Some tropes have a small list of subtropes. These should be bulleted Wiki Words:
!!Subtropes
* Subtrope 1
* Subtrope 2
* Subtrope 3
Don't forget to put ''this'' page's name on one of the Index Pages. Note that many tropes belong to more than one index page.
Keep "in-line" examples of the trope to a minimum.
A sentence identifying the source of the trope name is optional, but appreciated.
Put all "See also", "Compare/Contrast" and similar links right above the examples section.
Do not put a blank line between the last line of description and the horizontal rule below it.

!!Examples

[[folder:Media Type 1]]
* Include the media type sections from the very beginning. If the trope is healthy, is will gain examples rapidly, and sorting by media type prevents someone having to do a tedious job of sorting and moving later. Here's the list of the most often used Administrivia/MediaCategories. If you have an example from some medium other than those, you can either put it in its own category or make an "other" category.
* Bulleted list of specific examples from programs, in no particular order. (That said, the administration is tending towards alphabetical order for media examples. There's no harm in starting things out that way.)
* There is no strict format for examples, in order to keep them from being boringly alike. However, don't hide the name of the work in a pothole or assume that you don't need to mention it at all because everyone will recognize the character name or situation. The name of the work should occur within the first few words of the example.
* Multiple citations from a single series can go either into one large entry or several individual entries.
** Multiple citations, if put in individual entries, are on another level of bullets.
** Don't have two levels for only one item, though. See Administrivia/ExampleIndentationInTropeLists.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Media Type 2]]
* Sometimes dialogue may be quoted in an example. Use the following template:
-->'''Character One:''' Witty comment.\\
'''Character Two:''' Snappy riposte.\\
'''Character One:''' Devastating put-down.
* Subversions, inversions and counterexamples can either go in the same list as examples, or have their own separate lists following it. Usually the latter occurs when subversions, inversions, and counterexamples are common. Do us all a favor and make sure your examples are [[NotASubversion actually subversions]], though.
* [[Administrivia/ExamplesAreNotRecent Don't call something "recent"]] or talk about "last week's episode" or things like that. If your examples are good ones, they'll be around for a long time, and "recent" loses all meaning. Use episode names, or numbers, or give at least a rough date ("In August of 2011...")
