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

I've asked this before and was told that you do bring the context up to one-line with the zce remaining where it is.

That does strike me as the best practice. If/when someone comes along and adds context to the ZCE and unhides it, they'll have to drop the other one back down to a second-level bullet point, but they're already in there editing it anyway so it's not that big a deal.
By the way, I know it's just a generic example for illustration purposes, but I hate the "[character] is this" phrasing. It's vague and awkward and Word Cruft-y and can virtually always be rephrased to just launch right into the context.

I just finished commenting out Zero-Context Example entries, and had a question about how they should be handled in regards to indentation. Specifically, if an example is indented thusly:
The Alice entry needs to be commented out until someone can add context, but how then should the remaining example be indented? Should it be left as is, since there's still technically two examples, so it looks like this when not on the edit page:
Or should it be moved back to a single line, since the other possible example can't be seen on the work page?
