Considering the fact that there’s been an increasing number of memes based on these, do you think one should be made?
Hub entry for Hashtags?

Well, you’d have to consider the amount of sub-memes. There’ll probably be like “over 9000”.
Isn’t this basically covered by the Twitter page?
not necessarily. it’s like making an entry for reddit’s upvote button. it’s a website feature, not a meme
What I fear is a massive glut of entries being submitted daily for every single twitter trend that hits. I would like to see a hub made but I don’t think there are enough hashtag trends that have transcended twitter. The only two I can think of are #firstworldproblems and #notintendedtobeafactualstatement. As time passes I can see a use for it but for right now I think we are fine.
I do not think a hashtag hub entry is needed; I agree with DPF that the purpose can be served by the Twitter entry. However, I would like to see an increase in trending twitter topics and hashtag entries that are modeled after entries like these:
#AccordingtoPalin
#ReasonstoBeatYourGirlfriend
#Greenfieldism
#shestooyoungforyoubro
#FuckYouWashington
#Дождь
They can make for some pretty interesting entries when filled with data from sites like Trendistic.
