'''Trailers with self-consistent narratives, especially if they consist of newly-recorded material, are acknowledged to be stories like any other, and therefore pass Rule 1. Whether a narrative trailer passes the other three little rules is to be determined in precisely the same way that one would do it with any other story; note that floating text does not qualify as a Rule-4-defying fourth-wall-break, so long as nothing in the narrative itself acknowledges it.'''

Seems straightforward enough.
