Occasionally, a Troper may be tempted when editing an article to change mentions of the name so that they form the Wiki Word for the article, be it a trope or a work or something else. However Linking to An Article Within The Article is not good formatting, for several reasons. Wiki Words should generally be used judiciously. It invokes the Department of Redundancy Department, and not in a humorous way. It can be confusing, as a reader may assume that it references another page rather than the same page. It wastes time as the page reloads. If it is a media page and there are other works with the same name it may be confused with a link to one of them. It may lead to unnecessary confusion and work if the name is changed or the page moved. Worst case scenario, it may lead to a Divide by Zero

And That's Terrible. This also applies to examples. What media has the example, or the name of the trope the example has, should only be Wiki Worded the first time even if said again.
