It's just "in-universe" or the link to the trope that work as a metatextual tag for those examples.

OK, so that's the situation now. Maybe the software should work that way with "in-story" as well, since it's practically the same?

If I recall, "in-universe" actually came first and "invoked" was added later.

I believe you're right.

I personally have no objection to adding "in-story" to the list of tags that trigger turning off the YMMV alert, provided there's time to code that in (which there may not be).

The reason why there are only two items is economics, basically. One needs a visible tag and an invisible one but one does not need more than one invisible one.

For a long time I thought that examples of Audience Reactions, Trivia etc. were only allowed on a work's main page if they contained the [[invoked]] tag or a link to Invoked Trope. But no I saw that In-Universe (or in-universe...) works as well.
Are there other phrases which work the same way? Many people seem to use "in-story" as a synonym for "in-universe".
