- bumping again* Is this progressing well?
Bumping again, because I am really getting sick of seeing non-ymmv tropes on ymmv pages.
Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.
Agreed. I see YMMV on main page, and non-YMMV on YMMV all the time. Also, I'm seeing Trivia on the main page way, way, WAY too much. Come on, let's do something already!
There is one issue I see arising from marking objective tropes on the YMMV pages for removal: reference tropes in entries with multiple bullet points. Right now I'm thinking about Alternative Character Interpretation, which is likely to have multiple bullet points with reference tropes in them.
Assuming that the marks would work like the YMMV marks do now, reference tropes wouldn't be flagged if they were on the same line as a YMMV item, but would be if there were no YMMV items preceding them on the line. Possibly make it so that they would only be flagged if they were on a one bullet line?

While we're at it: the Creator Page Guidelines specifically say that trivia is allowed on creator pages (since it often applies to the creator rather than the work), so we probably shouldn't flag trivia there.
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
Maybe the problem is the title of this thread. Maybe we should change it or start a new thread.

I disagree that non-YMMV tropes should not be allowed on the YMMV page, because any trope can be subjective and sometimes it would be better to move the trope entry to the YMMV subpage than add YMMV onto the entry in the main page. The problem is when an entry that is not subjective at all gets put into the YMMV subpage.
Flame Bait should get an icon on the YMMV subpage as well.
"any trope can be subjective"
Then it either a) needs an YMMV banner or b) needs to be purged of the subjective examples.

From What Goes Where on the Wiki:
How I interpret this section to mean is that an objective trope can have a subjective entry and it's better to move the trope to the YMMV subpage instead of the main page, where it would attract natter. This happens enough on Mind Screw works. Whole tropes where this would happen enough are automatically YMMV.

The section you are talking about is about items, not examples.

In uffish thought
Does "item" mean an example on a trope page or an example on a work page? I think you mean the latter, but if something triggers a natter infestation on a work page, then it's probably either YMMV and should be moved to the tab according to WGWOTW, or a shipping war (upon which mileages also vary) and should be deleted.
That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
The "not examples" should have been a clue that item isn't example. It means "trope, including Trivia and YMMV. I'll be clearer next time.

Incredibly Lame Pun is a deliberate Pothole Magnet that should not be listed on a trope list. Perhaps pages can be assigned to give a bullet to remove the item from the trope list entirely. this could work with a few other pages as well.
Hi
Bumping...Trivia has obviously been taken care of, but we never got the notification for Flame Bait entries, did we?
Not as far as I know.

Brings me to another question: Why don't we just have Flame Bait with the YMMV, or even better, its own page where the arguments can be isolated? I personally don't see the need to just remove Flame Bait totally. Were things THAT bad?

We don't want Flame Bait on any pages (except, perhaps, Darth Wiki). That's the whole point of marking it as such. We've decided that such tropes should not have any examples at all, because they are too polarizing. And yes, they were that bad.

And a lot of that is plain garbage, too. Hmm. Sounds like a cleanup may be needed. Or just an Example Sectionectomy. Let me ask.

Being on the Flame Bait index does not disallow examples on the article itself, just wicks to it. An Example Sectionectomy is what cuts the whole shebang.

Closing this omnibus task; if any part has not been implemented yet or is buggy, ask on Query Wishlist and Query Bugs respectively.

So, how's it going with the Trivia markings on the pages? Is it progressing in development well?
