You\'ve just stumbled across an ExampleAsAThesis: When a trope is initially described by example, to help tropers better understand what it is. It\'s not always necessary, but sometimes it works. Other times, not so much; either way, it may still need a [[LaconicWiki Laconic]] entry.

but @/DragonQuestZ noted that \\\"\\\'concludes\\\' means the paragraph has to end with the trope title\\\" and restored it to:
:: So you\\\'ve started reading the description of a trope, but instead of trying to tell you what the trope is about, it starts out describing a scenario, often written either in the second person, or in the third person referring to AliceAndBob.\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\
This description may take a while, even a few paragraphs, but very soon you realize it\\\'s giving a hypothetical example of the trope. Then the scenario concludes with [[TitleDrop the trope\\\'s name]] and moves on to a straight description. You\\\'ve just come across an ExampleAsAThesis.\\\\\\\\
\\\\\\\\
This is when descriptions do this to give tropers an idea of what the trope is about, through a demonstration of it. It\\\'s not always necessary, but for some tropes, it describes it better than a direct thesis. Still, it might need a [[LaconicWiki Laconic]] entry.
Two questions:
1. Does anyone else like the new description better than the old?
2. In light of the complaint, how do people feel about (altered sentence in bold):
