I think he's asking whether exampleless definition pages (like Kuudere) should be linked in subpages in trope lists. My personal view is that something should be added to the YMMV subpage only when there is a YMMV banner and added to the Trivia page only if there is a Trivia banner.

More or less. And since this is an audience reaction, I suppose it would theoretically go into YMMV pages. The question is, though, should we allow that?

Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

Kuudere has a lot of Characters/ links, but I don't know of those should be fixed. Especially because Characters/ pages suffer from ZCE problems.

[up] I think Complaining About People Not Liking the Show could be a Super-Trope.

Call it "Russian Judging". I think people still know what that means.

Fact: the entire trope about a "lowballed" score comes out of figure skating, in the days when it had a 0 to 6 point scoring system with each score from each judge displayed individually. Western skaters could always expect the Eastern Bloc judges to knock a couple of tenths of a point off their scores (it was sometimes, but not always, reciprocal.)

<Sigh> If nothing else happens, we'll have to go with the sandbox alone and leave the wicks as they are.

[up][up][up][up][up]This doesn't have to be about complaining, it's more when it got a decent score, but people complained because they merely called it good instead of perfect.

I mean the complaining doesn't have to be about complaining. It's more like Complaining Because They Didnt Worship It

Bumping again. If I may add something, I think "uproar over an unexpectedly low score" is probably the strongest vibe I'm getting from this page. Unexpectedly Low Score works well for that purpose.

OK; given that nobody wants to comment on the wick issue any further, I'll leave the sandbox out for a while and swap it in and ask for closure.

Crown Description:

A wick check has shown that Eight Point Eight has approx 77% misuse for He Panned It Now He Sucks, Critical Dissonance, Complaining About People Not Liking The Show, and simply "a game got a bad rating".
