8The following pages are a mix of [[OmnipresentTropes common storytelling tropes]] and [[FanSpeak common fandom terms]]. These pages might be usable in example context[[labelnote:exceptions]](FlameBait is only wicked in trope description/indexes, YMMV pages may also be wicked on YMMV subpages, and neither can be wicked on a work's main page)[[/labelnote]], but never listed as an example within a work (with the occasional exception made for InUniverse examples; to provide concrete examples of such, a ''character'' who writes slashfic actually ''says'' "HetIsEw", or a reviewer [[DiscussedTrope has a video essay about]] MoffsLaw). Pages that become Example-less {{Super Trope}}s go here; they index {{subtrope}}s which collect examples and [[Administrivia/CrossWicking crosswicks]] as normal.
