I'm pretty sure that's not allowed.

Well, except for spinoff pages and pages for individual episodes. But yes. I didn't even know that there were any YMMV character tropes.

That is allowed. The YMMV page isn't being split up, it's acting as an index to the multitude of One Piece pages that all have their own YMMV pages.

First go to Characters.One Piece. You can see that the page is split up because it would otherwise be too long.

Click on the first link, Characters.One Piece Straw Hat Pirates. That's a character page for a specific group.

Then, click the "YMMV" button on that page. That leads to YMMV.One Piece Straw Hat Pirates, which is also the same page as the first link in YMMV.One Piece. It's a beautiful case of cross-referencing that prevents duplicate tropes from being added.

Unknownlight, read what I posted again. I did notice that the the character pages have YMMV subpages. I have never seen any other work do this, so I am not sure if there is a rule being broken.

Oh! My bad. You're not asking if including the index is allowed or not, you're asking if Character pages are allowed to have YMMV pages at all. Sorry, I didn't recognize that because I assumed it was a given. That might be my own mistake.

If it's not allowed, it ought to be. It'd be crazy otherwise. =P

It makes no sense not to allow it, because otherwise you'd have to hard-split a long YMMV page anyway.

Keep in mind, don't go overboard. The YMMV.Naruto page was inexplicably soft split between Audience Reactions, Subjective Tropes, and individual folders for every character (with most of them having at most 1 entry with no context). It was a goddamn mess leading to duplicate examples, examples in the wrong spots, and a litany of problems.
