This trope is continuing to attract Troper Tales style natter. I've added a mod warning, but I think a full page reorganization is in order. I'm willing to do the work, but I need consensus to change the organization style from the current "Alphabetized by the singer" into "Organized by the media that the mondegreen shows up in."

Sandbox.Mondegreen will be where I do the sorting if approved.

It's meant to be in-universe...?

I would have never known.

I have no problem with a reorganisation.

Seconding the reorganization. Should help get the point across.

This "faculty lot" you speak of sounds like a place of great power...

Can I get a go, no go on reorganizing?

Reorganizing is go. I repeat, reorganizing is a go.

Waiting on a TRS slot? Finishing off one of these cleaning efforts will usually open one up.

I concur.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

There, cleaned up. I also moved most of the definition onto the analysis page so it stopped cluttering up the main. How does it look?

If it's in-universe only now, that would also mean it'd no longer be YMMV.

It isn't YMMV. Lady Mondegreen is.

This trope is not a YMMV trope. It just keeps getting examples like it is. Hence the reorganization. I'm getting sick of cleaning it constantly.

Would us making a Just for Fun page on a Mondegreen help at all? It is not exactly troper tales, I mean we have worse on the Just for Fun space.

[up]It might be worth a try.

In fact, if even a moderator warning doesn't help (and it should be suspension), an outlet page might be the only solution.

I'd rather not have a Just for Fun page because I think that would just encourage the misuse in the rest of the wiki.

[up] If it carries a red ball thingy, I don't think it would be a problem.

[up] The main trope does not though, and there are all ready people misusing it on the wiki, generally with the work I somewhere in the example. We don't want to encourage them doing that anywhere on the wiki. Not with this name.

[up][up]The red ball thingy is a sign for Audience Reactions. This isn't supposed to be an Audience Reaction. It will probably just encourage further misuse as a Troper Tales.

Bumpity. Is there anything else to try here?

Not on my part. I just wanted to have this less by fiat.
