Previous TRS suggests "no". It'd be a supremely pointless change, besides.

That was changed by Twentington on March 17th — it originally was a more complete page. I assume it was a unilateral change for the lulz.

EDIT: Whoops, ninja time! Never mind, it was discussed.

Fair enough, and the discussion makes a good point.

Thoughts on a Recursion index? Note, I'm not suggesting an index of articles that demonstrate recursion—that's kind of pointless—nor an index of indexes that contain themselves—that's Recursive Index Index—but an index of tropes that are conceptually recursive. Such as, the discussion included, Shaped Like Itself, which is a good example of why this wouldn't be a Search Generated Index.

EDIT: Oh, I just found Circular Definition, which is pretty much what I had in mind. Disregard this whole thread then. :p
