Seems good, not sure if we need more options.
I wouldn't add the last option. It's really an ancillary task.

Fair enough. I wasn't sure about it either.

So far, one option has consensus, but for such a massive trope I'd like more votes. Anyone want to go to ATT?

To me, this passage from the description implies that the fandom-specific version is already part of the definition:
Discarded and Feeling Blue
That sounds more like it's setting up for tropes like Memetic Badass and Memetic Psychopath, which...come to think of it, is entirely about fandom portrayal...but yeah. It doesn't seem to use the same definition of "Meme" that the general "Fandom Injoke" usage does, so I'm not sure if it's actually allowing Fandom Injoke examples or not.
Even then, sometimes descriptions can have misleading or inaccurate lines that don't actually reflect the definition. Moral Event Horizon once claimed that redeemed characters can count, for example.

Heck, the MacGuffin description once said that a MacGuffin can be used for something, despite not being used being the whole point of the trope!
It looks like expanding the trope to allow for fandom in-jokes is going to win. If that happens, I recommend splitting example subpages between actual memes and injokes, like how Have a Gay Old Time is split between straight and intentional examples.

I downvoted having a subtrope for fandom memes, since it is very hard to consider what counts as popular or not. Emphasis on popular.

Can I say Memetic Mutation as a trope has evolved itself?
Given that as I'm into memes that are exclusive to the Furry Fandom and a bit into the Brony Fandom on Derpibooru. I'm into the splitting it to Fandom Meme. Pretty sure some inside memes can also become mainstream memes.

Looks like we are allowing fandom injokes. Calling.
Time to expand the description.

Couldn't you say that about any YMMV item about fandom consensus? We ran into a similar issue with Fan-Preferred Couple, and I'll reiterate my stance from that thread: if it's clearly an example, it won't be hard at all to find evidence that it's popular. (I.E. more than one person making the same joke)
(Honestly the on-page examples for Stock Parody Jokes are the ones that I don't always trust to be actual popular jokes, as most of them lack explanations of which parodies even used the jokes, but that's something for another thread)

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Alright, if we're expanding, we probably need to revamp the description, but I don't think much more work is needed beyond that.

That's done. Anyone's got an opinion on the new description?

The folder for "Specific types of memes, tropes related to memes, and specific memes with their own pages" needs a machete. It's a weird mixture of memes, tropes, injokes, and Internet works. I'd like to rewrite it like this:

- Memetic Molester: A fictional character is interpreted on the Internet as some kind of sexual predator due to statements, mannerisms, and actions that can be seen as creepy and perverse.
- Memetic Psychopath: A nice character or ineffectual villain is interpreted on the Internet as an insanely violent jerk due to a Jerkass Ball moment.

I'm fine with splitting the meme tropes from the JFF, Useful Notes, etc.

Should we address those other Meme tropes here?
Maybe we can move a batch of them to another thread at some point, like the Wiki Tropes thread currently open. But for now, I'm not sure there's much we can do without totally derailing this one.

So, about that description...

Clocking this. If no further comments come within the clock expiry time, I'll close this as "completed".

Crown Description:
What would be the best way to fix the page?
So, how do these crowner options look?
- Expand to allow for "Fandom Injoke" examples
- Split between the current intended usage, and a trope for Fandom Injokes.
- Merge the Fandom Injoke usage into Stock Parody Jokes.
- Create a definition-only page for Meme (not mutually exclusive with any other option)
