Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
it still wouldn't belong on the main page: it's still an opinion, not a fact presented in-universe.
Normally, YMMV tropes only go on the main page if they're used in-universe (i.e. a character in a show expresses a certain opinion). I don't think this is an exception.
Also, Is an author expressing opinion about their work even an example of Word of God?
For we shall slay evil with logic...
The author saying something about their work is the definition of Word of God. But Word of God regarding the quality of the work doesn't trump YMMV for our purposes. He thinks it's the best thing he's ever done. Fine, that's Word Of God about his opinion of the quality of the work; it would disqualify something like Old Shame. But it doesn't change that things like Better Than Canon are audience reactions. He's only one member of the audience; he can't speak for all of it.
Word of God can be the determining factor in whether a trope applies when it addresses something that the creator of the work intended or not: "Yes, I intended that element of the work to be taken as religious symbolism", or "No, I did not intend for that character to be bisexual."

So do I put it back in the YMMV page?
I would say yes. In this case, it's the creator agreeing with the opinion of many fans; it doesn't change a thing to the YMMV nature of the trope. It's also perfectly fine to be mentioned in the example, I guess.
Yes, most definitely.
Found a Youtube Channel with political stances you want to share? Hop on over to this page and add them.
Fixed it. Thinking about sending them a PM about YMMV. Is that okay?
I say send the PM and point them to this thread.
There's a trope for that: Creator-Preferred Adaptation.
Edit: Oops, spoke too soon, it's already there.

I ask this because Magnum12
moved an example of Better Than Canon from YMMV.Batman Under The Red Hood to the main page, because "Normally this would be YMMV, but since Word Of God says so, this example is an exception."
