A fledgling trope or YKTTW draft is short on examples. This term is a call for the Troperville community to rack their collective consciousness and feed the entry, so it can grow into a healthy, model trope for others to aspire to.

This also doubles as a way to evaluate a YKTTW's tropability, because tropes are by definition a pattern, and you can't establish a pattern without examples.

However, this tag should also be taken with a grain of salt: Once the trope has been launched to a normal wikipage (and cross-linked and indexed), Wiki Magic alone will provide more examples over time; the YKTTW only needs enough examples to support what its definition is. If a given YKTTW already has a handful of good examples but it still Needs a Better Title or Needs a Better Description, it may be better to discuss those issues instead.

For YKTTW, one of the Three Rules of Three.

For a list of the pages that actually need more examples, see Tropes Needing Examples.
