Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Also, the former image was that of a Terminal which was fitting, and this one is just... the letters UNIX over some vague background. The user gave as reason that "the terminal doesn't count as UNIX because GNU isn't UNIX"... seems like Flame Bait to ignite Fandom Rivalry between fans of different flavours of UNIX.
Suspended, reverted. It's the principle of the image that matters; only purists would DEMAND an authentic Sun Unix terminal screenshot, or even know the difference.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"
That troper is right in one aspect: GNU is not Unix, and not even a flavour of Unix - Unix is a trademark and not a generic term, and GNU was developed independently to be similar to Unix, but not the same.
But only a purist would object to the image. And changing it without consensus is definitely a no-no.

The UNIX page had an "Image selected per Image Pickin' thread... Do not remove" warning. User hobbledehoy899 changed this image on March 1 without any discussion or going to the Image Picking thread.
Isn't this vandalism?
