When was this rewritten as a self-demonstrating article?: You No Take Candle

I could have sworn it had a straightforward description before...

Anyway, yeah. I don't think it's a good idea to make an article deliberately hard-to-read for the sake of a kinda tired joke. A Self-Demonstrating Article is funny when it happens coincidentally or fits logically, or if it can be done subtly without making the article awkward and hard-to-read, but forcing every article about a style of speech to self-demonstrate isn't funny, it's silly.

What a giant pain in the ass. Yes, anybody who has a moment, please translate this back into a readable article.

Ai yi yi, that's ugly. I'll do my best.

ETA: The trope seems to indicate this is all about racism and cultural superiority. While that is sometimes true, it is often used to indicate a primitive culture or being—for instance, the Yetis in Twilight Princess.

Move the current one to the Self-Demonstrating namespace. That's what it's for.

Made a You No Take Candle. Not sure where to index it exactly, since other "duplicates" aren't on the page, like Sean Connery.

ETA: Ah, wait, I should probably edit it to make it consistent with the slightly adjusted version I overhauled...
ETA 2: Yes, finished that. I haven't indexed it, but I'm not sure where I should.\

I changed the link on the Self-Demonstrating Article index to point that the S-D page instead of the real one. That's probably the only index it needs to be on.

Thank you for doing the repair.
