There is a referential question here on meta about listing all the movies and TV-shows referenced by the top-bar as part of our design. In the meantime we already got two genuine ID questions on the main site asking for identifying those movies/TV-shows seen in our top-bar, which have been closed/deleted in reference to this meta question. Now seeing that those will probably not have been the last times this question will be asked on the main site, it might be better to shift this question over to the main site, as less of a design oriented meta discussion and more of a canonical ID-this-image question, for easier duplicate-closing of potential future questions asking about the top-bar.

But there can be different viewpoints employed here, which makes this a decision to be carefully considered.

  • On the one hand, it is an inherently meta-like question about the site and its design and might thus better fit here. Not to speak of the fact that I wouldn't regard "ID this movie shown in this little icon" as a particularly good question for the main site in general.
  • However, we also have other canonical reference questions to be used as referral or duplicate targets for more specific and inherently off-topic questions. For example the one about finding similar stufffinding similar stuff to refer recommendation questions to.

So should we move this question over to the main site or leave it here on meta?

(In the former case I would also tend to make this question Community Wiki, not just because it's a collaborative effort, but primarily to emphasize that it isn't really regarded as a proper question on its own but rather a kind of refertial FAQ question with more special on-topic nature.)
