"On this wiki, "trope" has the even more general meaning of a recognizable pattern — not only within the media works themselves, but also in related aspects such as the behind-the-scenes aspects of creation, the technical features of a medium, and the fan experience"

Considering that there are banners on all pages that aren't about something withing the media, warning against portraying them as tropes, shouldn't this be redefined?

It is a valid definition. The banner — for the most part — warn people off from confusing their opinion with a trope.
