Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
Yeah, neither have enough context. The first example should explain at least what the characters look like and their relationship, while for FMB we need to explain not only how the characters fit each role but also how they act as a team.

Also, the Five-Man Band should have only five characters. Extra members like the Kid-Appeal Character are not allowed.

The Five-Man Band example is also indented incorrectly.
Patiently awaiting the release of Paper Luigi and the Marvelous Compass.
You know the more I look at the entry, the more I wonder if the only reason the troper put it in was because it was a group of characters without even thinking about if they fit the character archetypes because this group aside from the leader and the love interest aren't really focused on so it's really not clear which of them fits which archetype. So ontop of being zero content, the trope itself doesn't even apply aside from the gang having five members.
Uh, guys, the main page of Five-Man band seems to be filled with zero content entries. Is that okay or is it in need of a major cleanup?
^^ That is more than likely, Five-Man Band is a horribly shoe-horned trope. Nice catch.
^ Cleanup, you say? Join us, friend.
I know what the answer is gonna be but I wanted to double check. Simply putting the character's names as examples for tropes is zero content, right? Let me give you two examples I saw and tell me if I'm right that they are zero content.
- Chubby Mama, Skinny Papa: Mr and Mrs. Drake.
- Five-Man Band:
- The Leader: Riley
- The Lancer: Sledge
- The Smart Guy: Stokey
- The Big Guy: Bando
- The Chick: Delilah
- Kid-Appeal Character: Spike
