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

A format within mediums, actually. I think it's redundant with Flash Fiction, Short Story, Novella, and Novelette, but it exists now.

So, should we list it as a trope for works?
Even if we did, there can't be too much context for it?

Prose Fiction subtropes should mostly be appearing in the description of the work, but I don't currently see a problem with including any of the mentioned tropes in the examples list.

Well, that'd mean it could be one of the three tropes a work needs, to be a valid work page.
But, it does affect how the reader reads the story, its presentation, etc.
No problems here.

Broadly speaking, genre and medium tropes are "above the line" content, meaning they go in the description and should not be used as examples. All of the tropes listed in the OP and post #2 in this topic fall into this category. This means no cheating on the "three trope minimum".

The page itself is an index like Fanfics of the 2000s.
Is One-Shot Fic a genre, or a trope?
Being a Genre means that we basically don't need context?
