All The Tropes:What to Put At The Top of A Page

The Golden Rule for picking page images and quotes:

Pick something that demonstrates the trope in the image or quote. This is why we don't allow Just a Face And A Caption.


 * Picking an image that 'shows something that demonstrates the trope only in context'' doesn't help.
 * Be especially wary of Fan Myopia.
 * It's okay to use a caption to add to an image, but not if you need it to explain the image.
 * Read How to Pick A Good Image. Now. We'll wait.
 * Keep it Safe For Work.
 * Just as multiple page images look ridiculous, multiple page quotes only weaken the intro. You can add a quote page by changing "Main" to "Quotes" in the URL.
 * If you have a new page image or quote that's objectively better than the current one by these guidelines, move the old one to Image Links Wiki or Quotes Wiki instead of just removing it. This will allow fans of the old one to still have easy access to it, and will go a long way to preventing an Edit War.
