Where should Needs More Love be indexed? As it is, it's listing only meta-examples, meaning it's not YMMV or Audience Reaction anymore.

I thought Needs More Love was a wiki message like Is This Tropable or Needs More Examples. I don't see how it can apply to works.

It's an Audience Reaction. Please check wicks before saying it isn't.

No. If anything, it's Complaining About Shows You Like Not Being Popular, and even that's pushing it.

Is there a difference between the two?

"Not like" is really an euphemism for "hate" in that context.

Not watching =/= not liking.

In any case, I think this definitely tends to get used more as in post 2.

So it is okay to put "X needs more love because Y" on a YMMV tab?

Bump, because I ntoiced that it seems to be mostly identical to SugarWiki.Needs More Love

[up]In that case, why not just redirect to Sugar Wiki?

I was drifting away on life’s pitiless sea,

And the angry waves threatened my ruin to be,

When away at my side, there I dimly descried,

A stately old vessel, and loudly I cried:

“Crowner ahoy! Crowner ahoy!”

[up]Did the page, but the wicks are outside of my reach (number-wise)

Do we even allow wicks to Sugar Wiki from main? I know we don't allow Darth Wiki.

[up]Yes, unless we cut the /Main/ redirect.

Keep the redirect, so we retain the inbounds, but delete all the wicks. There's no reason for a legit page on main to link to Needs More Love.

But since people use the phrase so much to mean "this page needs editors," maybe Main.Needs More Love should redirect to an Administriva.Needs More Love page.

[up] Isn't that "Needs More Wiki Magic" or something that I can't remember the exact title of?

However, can we can get a disambiguation made?

Thank you. In any case, I think that leaving the main page as a disambiguation seems like a better idea than simply making a redirect, simply because there is widespread use of "Needs More Love" for "Needs Wiki Magic Love".

[up]It's already a redirect, but I can turn it into a disambig immediately.

Bump. Is there anything left to do here, or can this be locked up?

I was wanting to make this into a disambig due to the widespread use of Needs More Love for Needs Wiki Magic Love - would I need to start a page action crown for that? Or is it the case that since there's also been a page action, we're just going with that, no questions asked.
