As a side note, in universe examples are considered something you can put on the page. If a character watches a movie and says it's So Bad Its Horrible, then you can put that example on the page.
And, no on the character pages part. Anything subjectively applied goes on YMMV.

Fight smart, not fair.The character page is a subcomponent of the main page designed to break off the characterization tropes because they tend to ramp up the amount of stuff on the page.
Fight smart, not fair.Correct. The subjective banner applies to all works articles and all essentially similar subpages such as Characters. If it's tagged subjective, it only belongs in YMMV, Just Bugs Me, one of the Awesome/Horrible/Funny/Tear Jerker/Fridge subpages, or a review.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"I did mean to ask this somewhere, do things like Heel–Face Turn belong on the character sheet or the main page?
Fight smart, not fair.Umm, wherever. If there is a Characters page, it obviously goes there, but we usually don't enforce removing character-specific tropes from the main article unless it's too big.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Well, it looks odd, because you have to spoiler the trope on the Character sheet, but if you put it on the main page you can spoiler just the name.
Charlies tropes:
- Heel–Face Turn: episode six
Vs
Tropes that apply to Work Xtreem:
- Heel–Face Turn:Charlie, episode six

Fight smart, not fair.You don't have to spoiler tag tropes on character sheets. Unless you really want to.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"^ Or even spoiler tag at all, if you warn at the very top of the character sheet there will be spoilers.
That's my understanding, at least.
All your safe space are belong to TrumpI keep thinking that this consensus was reached because I kept editing the page on Transformers Generation 1 to point out that it isn't some sort of literary masterpiece (as the page seemed to imply before) :P
Around here, we tend to err toward expressing favorable opinions about works rather than negative ones. Why? Because we are a site devoted to fan appreciation of tropes and their use in works. I still don't understand why people devote so much energy to disliking things.
Even if a work is bad, or campy, it's possible to write up the entry in a way that allows the reader to enjoy it and find the gems. Take my entry for Condorman, for example, hardly Disney at its finest, but it's written from the point of view of someone who celebrates its badness rather than reviling it.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"

I don't think this is right — a user named "Micah" has been moving examples of They Changed It, Now It Sucks!, Crowning Music Of Awesome, Hey Its That Guy/Voice, and Too Good to Last to a subpage for YMMV or Trivia.
I asked him why he was doing this, and he said that it was a forum consensus.
Problem is, some examples of "Sucks" are universally accepted to be a bad change (see Hot Potato, then find me one person who saw the overhaul to add celebrities and didn't think "the show has just killed itself") and I always saw "Hey!" as being related to You Might Remember Me from....
Does anybody agree? Disagree?
