In theory, this trope seems to be about how villains tend to get along even when it's illogical to do so, but in practice it's just Legion of Doom. Should we merge the two or just clarify the description?

Fixed the trope link for you. Anyways, there is a difference. Legion of Doom says that they'll invariably undermine each other's goals through inability to trust each other, where as Evil Is One Big, Happy Family doesn't have that.

Still need More Dakka, and it's about time to start a real WAAAAAGH.

Clocking. Three days to make some progress.

They look sufficiently different to me.

The definitions seem different enough. Looking at the examples, my impression is that they're mostly legit.

I think Legion of Doom might be subtrope—teaming up implies as a prerequisite that they're willing to work together for common goals. Thoughts?

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Clock went on 6 days ago, 3-1 against doing anything. We can probably close this.

Locking. No consensus to change it.
