Pages with medium-specific subpages and page pics:

Sophisticated as Hell
I understand why comic images would be popular... unlike film or cartoons, you can see what the characters are saying, which is often important. The format being popular is a good reason to try to avoid it.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel.
Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

A pocketful of saudade.
Honestly, if you're in a page with the examples list listing "Film" and "Literature" as well as "Anime and Manga", I see no reason to assume that it's medium-specific.

Certain media do dominate page images, and I believe it does hurt the site's balance, but I doubt this is the best way to handle it.
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.

Deadpan Snarker has a comic book image on the main page and an image on the comic book subpage. What's the plan of action (if necessary)?
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!

[up] The pic on the comic book subpage barely qualifies as snark IMO; I'd be fine with replacing it with the pic on the main page.

But yeah, the main page image is much snarkier than Spider-Man's being. Which is funny, because Spider-Man's usually exceedingly snarky (Tobey Maguire Spidey notwithstanding).

Went ahead and made the replacement.

Pulled image, for reference:

Even in battle, Spidey can snark.

A few weeks ago, I added the current page image on Narm.

Now that I've become aware of this thread, I guess I should move this image to Narm.Jack Chick? That page still needs a pic, but I admit it feels strange to not give the main trope page an image.

Edit: Moved it.

It's perfectly possible to admire building a cannon to destroy the moon, whilst lamenting the act of destruction.

[up] Yeah, if Chick's got his own page, best to move it there.

The image on What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids? was moved to the Anime/ subpage on the 20th Dec '12 1:47:51 PM by Trope Eater. Is that OK? It isn't strictly speaking anime, just features an anime.

I'd say move it back.

Moved. I added a note saying to not re-move the image without consulting this thread so that we don't get into edit warring.

I want Hornblower action figures!
I've just noticed this rule (there was a note for editors on one trope page). I'm also one of those who thinks it's not necessary and that it's pity not to have an image on the main page.

Nevertheless... Badass Adorable has sub-pages. Should the picture be moved to BadassAdorable.Video Games?

I moved the image.

The system doesn't know you right now, so no post button for you.
You need to Get Known to get one of those.
