OOC: I noticed that this page has gotten a bunch of new subpages in other namespaces that parody all kinds of TV Tropes articles. However, while this page spoofs a typical trope article (with examples of any particular trope across media), we still don't have a page which spoofs an article about a work of media (listing every trope that appears in this story). Does anyone have any ideas about making such a page? What namespace would it go in?

I agree that most subpages except for Quotes, Playing With, and Image Links would make more sense under Work Name Injokes.

Notification that I just spotted a YMMV Trope on this page, but should probably have just removed the mention altogether using powers I already have, rather than just bothering the admins needlessly.

Demand to cutlist the trope or at least banish it to Sugar Wiki because it is too whimsical and unbecoming, followed by a minor rant that troping is Serious Business and humor has no place here. Ends with a demand that if it isn't going to get deleted or hidden, to at least change the name to something less fun.

Link to the Image Pickin' forum claiming that the trope image is Just A Face And A Caption and needs to be changed. The suggested replacement image will invariably be from a show being entry pimped by the OP (and may or may not illustrate the trope better).
