Setting Update clean up

Setting Update has a problem with tropes posting Zero Context Examples under the guise of 'X is Y BUT WITH Z' and not elaborating on it to give context as to why. Not only does it add nothing substantial to the trope page but it makes certain folders (especially Video Games, Live-Action TV, Web Original) an outright eye-sore trying to read through.

Normally I'd clean it up myself, but I'm not even familiar with half the offending examples to give proper elaboration on. In addition, I feel like there should be some form of footnote warning against adding examples like this in the future.

I fixed two of the examples. A major part of the problem is that third paragraph that says it's okay to forgo context.

That line really shouldn't be there, honestly. Especially since it contradicts itself.

"A Setting Update can still be described with In Space style, though, since that usually isn't all that's changed."

So it's alright to post an Zero-Context Example despite the fact that it outright admits there's usually more to the examples? I have to wonder if this was added sometime after launch.

Favor in pulling and possibly replacing with a line cautioning against this?

It appears that line has been there since before the recorded history of the page, meaning it's from a time when ZCEs were very much normal and accepted.

I think we're okay to remove it now.

Alright. Changed the line to point out how this style of example is no longer accepted on the wiki.
