While cleaning out redirecting links after a trope was renamed, I ran into Characters.Head Trip, which is loaded with ZCEs. It really needs a bit of cleanup. Some of the listed characters have nothing BUT ZCEs listed for them.

I would comment out the Zero Context Examples on Quirky Town, but I don't think a trope page with example numbers in the single digits is particularly helpful, especially when it has 153 links pointing to it, do you?

My troper wallThe examples in Quirky Town is almost entirely made up of ZCE. I don't know most of the works listed there, though.
Noticed quite a bit of ZCEs in The Caper, particularly under Film. I commented out as much as I could.
During my skim through for miuses on the now-moved Not-So-Forgotten Birthday, I commented out several ZCE's.
Currently working on Gainaxing and by the looks of things a lot of examples are going to have to be deleted or commented out. So if anyone wants to help flesh out some examples that would be greatly appreciated.
Beauty Mark has a bunch of ZC Es...or at least it did until I commented them out. (Since there are so many sparce examples, I was very liberal with what could be considered "context". YMMV.) If anyone wants to go in and try to fill context, go for it.
The Sliding Scale of Gender Inequality has several entries that need to be fleshed out. Some are just titles, others just have a statement that does not properly explain why a work belongs in its category.
Straight Man and Wise Guy is full of ZC Es. I didn't comment them out for the usual reason (A nigh exampleless page is probably not a good idea for a major trope) but I did add it to the pages needing example context index at least.
My troper wallThe one I'm familiar with has context. I found one that didn't even think it was an example. Some duo pages are a problem. I commented out most of the examples in Action Duo.

Proper Tights with a Skirt has no examples with proper context.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickWhen They Cry is 90% Zero Context Examples. Snark Bait also has a lot of no-context examples, including one example that used to have context.

To trope, or not to trope...that is the question.I apologize if this post seems redundant after an edit I made to Administrivia.Pages Needing Example Context, but Film.The Shaggy Dog, Trivia.The Shaggy Dog, and YMMV.The Shaggy Dog all have quite a few tropes with descriptions that either don't exist, or don't sound specific enough to people who've never seen/don't really remember the movie(s).

Four-Temperament Ensemble is almost nothing but ZC Es and there's pages of it.
Question: Is this forum the right place to ask if the tropes in a certain page are Zero Context Examples?
TV Tropes' very wikibot
Do we have an overview which pages have been cleaned of ZC Es and which are yet to be done? This might help.
Get rid of the walled gardenEasy fix, but I'm on my phone and not likely to have a computer available before I forget about it: Could someone please copy the Bill and Ted example from Retroactive Preparation over to Bill & Ted?
Kana: Little Sister has a lot of trope entries that are either just the trope without any examples whatsoever or the classical [name] kind of Zero Context Example or the "invoked by " type.

Cutscene Boss seemed to have quite a bit of ZCEs, which I commented out just now.
