Complaint that The parodic nature of this image seems to be a holdover from when there was no distinction between the trope itself and the injokes page. Perhaps replace it with something that still self-demonstrates, but isn't snarky about poor wiki conduct?

I'm not really seeing what the issue is.

Personally, I say this should be taken to the Trope Repair Shop to change the name so that it doesn't use the word "Trope" as a placeholder.

I like the OP's idea, so what would you suggest?

What? It's... it's not a trope. It's a JFF page mocking how trope pages typically look.

JustForFun.Trope Name is a Just For Fun page. [Trope Name] is an actual trope page about "parody via genericization", apparently. It's pretty odd, but the image can be kept.

[up] Huh, got confused somehow then, I saw the "JFF" button and the page looked pretty JFF, so I assumed.

The confusion is why I said "take to TRS". This is a violation of Clear, Concise, Witty and no grandfather clause is going to ease things here.

I think we should rewrite the whole thing, and put the current article in a Self-Demonstrating page. I wouldn't even know what the page was about if it weren't for this thread.

If I understand the trope correctly, this could be a replacement image.

[up]I like that. "Trope" isn't being used as a placeholder here, it's a self-demonstrating title, but I agree the description needs to be re-written.

[down]What's wrong with WikiWanderer's suggestion?

[up] I think I like 13.6 best, mainly because it looks like they're holding the speech bubbles with the concepts over their heads. 13.1 would be my next pick.

13.6 could work, but I like 13.1 better, because it's shorter.

13.1 or 13.6. And then... you know what I want.

Statement of confirmation of consensus for 13.6 and transfer to page.

Inquiry about caption.

Placement of former pic for posterity.

Statement that the old caption can be retained.

Query about if the JFF image should also be changed.

Query about why both Main/ and JFF/ pages exist.

Statement that this trope should be taken to TRS to be renamed and divorced from the Self-Demonstrating version, for clarity's sake.
