For some reason, Doing It for the Art has the YMMV banner. Can someone (and by some one I mean Fast Eddie), please fix it?

I notice a couple of TV Channels are classified as a "useful note", (examples: Disney Channel, CBS and Fox). I mean, technically they're useful notes, but I don't think they're Useful Notes, if that makes sense.

The folder code does not appear to be working on the newly created Characters.Smallville Kryptonians page. I have a feeling that I am missing something obvious, but for the life of me can't figure out what it might be.
Could someone take a look at the page for me and let me know if it's coded incorrectly or not?

Greetings, tropers. As I was putting a (justified, really) rant in the Pal Bonus page, I was thinking about creating four new tropes, namely:
- "No Export For You-rope" (or "No Export For U-rope"), a punny-named subtrope of No Export for You about Europe (given Europe has many offenders).
- "Late Export For You", another subtrope which is self-explanatory, with Kirby, Dissidia Final Fantasy (only the first), Super Smash Bros Brawl and Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep being some of the best known examples. This demotivator, about Europe and Nintendo, arguably put it best.
- "Rusty Iron Is Scarier", a videogame (and not limited to videogames, but showing up usually-and-especially in them) trope about creepy rusty walls made of iron, with the best known examples being Doom and the first Crash Bandicoot game (I posted the idea about the new trope in the Crash article itself).
- "Marge Simpson Effect", a trope showing up in all media. Since Marge Simpson from The Simpsons tends to almost make me tear up whenever she cries, this trope is about characters with contagious tears.
Think about them, and if given permission, I might even write some of the articles myself.

Super Saiya Man keeps re adding unsigned enteritis to The Simpsons and keeps calling me an "Edit Nazi" for enforcing the rules. Can I get some help?

For YMMVs on non trope or work pages, like Recap pages, which do you feel would be best? It has been determined in the forum that it is possible to create a YMMV page for them and that the YMMV icon does indeed appear on the Recap page as shown here but this would end up making lots of small YMMV pages for possibly every Recap page out there. The other option was to create a YMMV folder in the Recap page itself and slip them in there. Since this decision would effect all Recap pages, I thought I'd ask the hivemind directly. Page or folder?
The Spoony Experiment's discussion page is again going into back-and-forths about whether or not Noah is a fan hater, and is more about personal opinion than the work itself. Can anything be done about it?
