For, say, Complete Monster, should the pothole always be The Klan since it's fictional, even if it's a depiction of the actual KKK?

Thanks in advance.

The trope covers fictional depictions of the actual KKK themselves so yes.

Got it. Looks like I should change those potholes.

Would it be a good idea to change the Laconic page (which says it can either be the actual KKK or a stand in) and add a note specifying that it isn't about the actual Klan? Maybe do a cleanup depending on how pervasive that specific kind of misuse is?

Judging from the TLP draft, looks like it was always intended to include depictions of the actual Klan.
