History YMMV / WorkName

* CompleteMonster: Example that has no spoiler markup since CompleteMonster pages are Administrivia/SpoilersOff, even though it's listed on a YMMV page that ''isn't'' Spoilers Off. The example reveals the villain's surprising identity and lists every murder and other spoileriffic acts committed by the character, completely spoiling the work for anyone who reads the YMMV page. [[SarcasmMode It's not like]] we have a [[Monster/WorkName certain page to cover this character]] already.

** [[CaptainObviousReveal Predictable plot twist.]]
** An AssPull, added by someone who doesn't follow continuity all that closely and experienced it as a legitimate twist.
** "WhamLine."[[note]][[Administrivia/ZeroContextExample And that's all the context you get!]][[/note]]
** A mundane-sounding event with no explanation as to why this is shocking.
** [[IKnewIt A fan theory is confirmed.]]
** Many examples of trailers revealing details about the upcoming sequel, with no explanation as to why these reveals are shocking, so once the work comes out this example will just be a list of well-known facts.

* MagnificentBastard:
** This entry was approved by the cleanup thread. It opens with a short description of the character, and information about their leadership. It continues on about their personality and how they are a bastard, but charming enough to fool other characters. It then goes on to list everything the character did (or ordered their minions to do) to get to their goal: evil act of trickery 1, evil act of trickery 2, and evil act of trickery 3. There is a dependent clause, followed by a conclusion that yes, this character does stand out as a magnificent bastard.
** Name of alleged example [[Administrivia/ZeroContextExample with no elaboration whatsoever]].
** MagnificentBastard example which was posted here without consulting [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15255322860A44444400&page=1 the trope's thread]]. Example is actually a vile SmugSnake that Administrivia/ThisTroper wants to make look cooler than they actually are.
** Character that ''almost'' meets the criteria, but fails one crucial point (has an undignified end, is far too vile, is far too [[GuileHero heroic]] to still be a "bastard", etc).

* FanonDiscontinuity example for an installment that isn't canon, such as an adaptation, ContinuityReboot, or AlternateContinuity.

** An example reacting with [[FridgeHorror (fridge)]] horror that a scene depicting an unpleasant situation would be seen as very traumatic for the characters if it happened today, because apparently nobody thought kidnapping/murder/abuse/bullying/slapstick was bad twenty years ago.

* MisaimedFandom: Example describing the audience being angry the work made them react [[IntendedAudienceReaction the way author intended]].

* MemeticBadass: Overly gushy list of character's canonical accomplishments with no explanation how the fandom exaggerates this character's badassery.

* LesYay example listed separately from the HoYay above even though it redirects to Ho Yay, which the work already has a [[HoYay/WorkName subpage]] of.

* MemeticMutation
** Example about a funny line or moment from a then-recently released episode or trailer that never really took off as a meme.
** Example that attempts to pass off a common complaint or a snarky jab towards the work as a meme.
** Example of a meme. [[Administrivia/ZeroContextExample No explanation of how it's actually used as a meme]].
** Funny quote/scene/etc. [[labelnote:Explanation]]An "explanation" that gives context for the moment in the work, but doesn't explain anything about how the moment became memetic.[[/labelnote]]
** Example of a meme. [[labelnote:Explanation]]An explanation written by somebody who still doesn't get the "labelnote" formatting.
** [[FanDumb Something stupid someone in the fandom did]] that ended up becoming an in-joke in said fandom.
** Example that explains the meme without putting it in a labelnote.

* MemeticMutation: Quote of the work with no mention of how it is used nor how did it become viral, possibly in all caps.
** Example mentioning another quote with no context.
** A ForcedMeme that you're already sick of seeing.
** A particularly niche meme that was popular for a few weeks on Website/FourChan or some such site in 2005, likely with very little context.

* LesYay example listed separately from the HoYay above even though it redirects to Ho Yay.

* HoYay:
** Example of HoYay that refers to a married OfficialCouple, even though the trope Ho Yay is for subtext seen by the audience.
** Another Ho Yay example about a canonical gay couple, except the characters were only recently revealed to be gay, several years after the example was added, retroactively invalidating it.
** Example of Ho Yay for every interaction between two characters of the same gender.
** Example describing [[HomoeroticSubtext intentional gay subtext]], probably a MistakenForGay joke.

%% Commented out note stating that the cleanup thread have decided XYZ character is NOT a CompleteMonster, warning future editors NOT to add them as an example.
* CompleteMonster:
** This character is an approved example, and the first sentence of this approved writeup gives a short description of the character. Opening with a dependent clause, the independent clause that follows explains the backstory of the character. Using multiple sentences, most of which start with a present participle or a conjunction of time even when such wording is clunky, the writeup goes on to describe the various evil acts committed by said character. Among the evil acts which are too numerous to list in this particular example include: evil act number 1; evil act number 2; evil act number 3; and evil act number 4. When they are necessary, the phrasal verbs "stands out" and "proves to be" are commonly included. This next sentence describes how the character compares to other, less heinous and more sympathetic characters. Closing with another dependent clause, this last independent clause makes a final remark about the character. Thank you for reading my essay.
** [Character] -- [[YMMV/DifferentInstallment See here for details]].
** CompleteMonster example which was posted here without asking on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=6vic3f9h1cy5qivsenw8llok&page=1 the trope's thread]]. Example is not actually that monstrous and/or is [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic meant to be sympathetic]], and was clearly added there to complain about the character.
** Unapproved CompleteMonster example which is actually a 99% Monster (ie, they almost fit the criteria but fail one crucial point).
** Unapproved example that is not actually that monstrous, but the troper wants to make them look more evil, [[EvilIsCool and therefore cooler]], than they actually are.
** Name of alleged example [[Administrivia/ZeroContextExample with no elaboration whatsoever]].
** CompleteMonster example that has no spoiler markup, even though the rest of the page isn't Administrivia/SpoilersOff. The example reveals the villain's surprising identity and lists every murder and other spoileriffic acts committed by the character, completely spoiling the work for anyone who reads the YMMV page.
** Approved example with some unapproved edits.
** CompleteMonster entry which does, in fact, fit all criteria, but was added by some newcomer unfamiliar with the voting process or too lazy to go through the necessary steps, at which point said entry will be deleted, grabbed by one of the thread's regulars, re-evaluated and discussed, before being reposted as an approved example (see above).
** CompleteMonster entry which was approved, but [[SelfDemonstratingArticle have some error of grammars and tyops]] in it that no one bothered to correct during the draft phase, so you'll have to bring it up at the cleanup thread so it can be corrected both here and on the locked trope page.
