Okay, making those changes, and we do say it explicitly, on All The Tropes:How to Write An Example, under "State the Source":
I've added a bit about this (and a couple other things) to the Style Guide, though, and I'll probably make this a bit more prominent. I may also add something on Trope Workshop Guidelines if it's not there already.
Quote:The name of the work the example comes from must be clearly stated, ideally near the beginning of the example. The name should be either italicized or put in quotes depending on the medium (if you're not sure which to use, see what someone else did for a work in the same medium), and be marked up as a link to the work's page.
