The image on this page is a Visual Pun using a scene of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in which a planet is artificially built. However, it is hard to see that the thing being constructed is a planet even with context, and the caption doesn't provide more information.
on the possibility of Worldbuilding being an Omnipresent Trope (since every narrative has to explain the rules of its setting, no matter how close to real life it is) inclines me to vote for pulling it, and, should we replace it, use an illustration of the concept instead of a Visual Pun.
There are probably clearer images of planets being built in fiction, but I think it would run the risk of making people think the trope is about literal constructions of planets, different from other puns like Canon, in which it is clearer that the image is supposed to be taken as a joke. This plus the Trope Talk discussion
