An inverted trope but otherwise that's it.
"This wiki is stereotyped and trite. In other words, dull and uninteresting. We are about showing off how snide and sarcastic we can be.
A work is being somewhat vague about it's setting and it is later revealed that it's not what the viewers assumed. For example; they were on Mars the whole time, the world looks the way it does because there was a nuclear war in the middle ages or the Ace Attorney series take place after the Second Impact, as a WMG suggests. This allows you to make your work a fan fiction of something else, kinda like Canon Welding.
Basically Tomato Surprise but with the setting instead of a character. Tomato World?
