{{Tyoria}}: {{McJeff}}, I too like for works pages to explain examples at least a little, but removing almost \'\'all\'\' of the unexplained examples seems rather... well, to be blunt, presumptuous of you unless you\'re alleging they \'\'don\'t\'\' actually apply to the work in question. There is \'\'\'no\'\'\' Wiki rule against unelaborated entries on a WORKS page, it\'s only a problem on TROPE pages because unless you\'ve seen/read/etc the example origin you\'re not going to know how TwoWordsObviousTrope makes any sense. But on a works page -- exactly what kind of crucial detail is being omitted by a simple link to FourthWallMailSlot? It happened, yes. Also, do you think you are the only person who scans a page for tropes and then adds detail to them if you think it\'s helpful? Because in taking out valid tropes you have prevented other people from doing the same thing in the future, and many of the tropes are ones they wouldn\'t have thought of by themselves (or maybe didn\'t even know about!) -- so now, instead of getting an elaborated example later on the page will simply not have a trope listing AT ALL. That\'s not exactly an improvement.

Mind, I think some of them really did deserve to get yanked, since it looks like they were just thrown in there for being a staple {{JRPG}} cliche whether or not they had any attention brought to them, but I\\\'d vouch for a lot of these being specifically riffed on at one point or another.
