5	%% Explaining a trope is more than just saying "In season two" or "Alice is this for Bob." It means actually going into detail about how the trope is used in the series. Make sure that the tropes actually fit the characters when you're fleshing them out.

8	%% There is no correct reason to put the name of a trope in spoiler tags. If the name of the trope constitutes a spoiler, either don't add it to begin with or pothole it from a related trope entry. The point of this page is to convey information; an entry that is completely spoilered out does not achieve this. See Administrivia/HandlingSpoilers for further details.
