How To Write An Example - Do Not Pothole the Trope Name: When adding a trope to a work page, always use the trope's correct, unaltered title (e.g. Red Right Hand as "Red Right Paw" when troping a Funny Animal is doubleplusungood). Potholing the trope name to be clever is way overdone, and causes problems with keeping the list alphabetical and with wick migration, among other things. Most tropes referring to one gender have a redirect that can be used for examples of the other gender. There is slightly more leeway when incorporating a trope into a description. See Sinkhole for more details.
