Poor Image: Shear Menace

You don't need to, it's just recommended.

I've been reprimanded for doing that on here.

I will not suffer double standard.

I doubt someone said you need to, and if they did they were wrong. But it's strongly recommended; I would think the only reason someone wouldn't is if they didn't know that.

It depends on the reason that the page has been left image-less. If there simply hasn't been any discussion about page images before, you won't get in trouble for adding one directly (though it would still be preferable to run the suggestion through IP first to make sure it actually works). If, on the other hand, the page was deliberately left image-less after discussion, an IP thread would be required.

Alright, since the discussion have been starred and nobody seem to be in favour for the newly added (and now removed) image, I've uploaded and tagged the crowner winner. Not sure where to pothole it to, though.

No worries, I potholed it for ya.

Looks good. Is there a particular reason why the caption is italicized?

Maybe because it's a quote from elsewhere? I honestly don't know.

And is there a reason why trying to go to the trope page linked in the thread title leads me to a nonexistent page?

Seems like the new site doesn't recognize the URL with a period between the namespace and the title, while still recognizing the slash.

If you look at the caption pothole, you'll see what the quote's from.

Obviously...still doesn't answer my question.

For emphasis?

Ah, that makes more sense...but at the same time, I think that works better as a page quote than a caption.

OK, no more caption discussion, so closing.
