YMMV suggestion

Is there a way that non-YMMV tropes on a YMMV page can be marked the same way as YMMV tropes on a non-YMMV page? This is necessary because "YMMV" tropes have often been moved, then the YMMV removed from the page without the trope examples being moved back.

Not impossible. I'll see about it this weekend.

Can you make a link in the text so that I can just open the YMMV page by clicking on the "YMMV page" part of the text?

I'd like to add another suggestion: non-YMMV tropes on YMMV pages should act like YMMV tropes on non-YMMV pages in all respects, so not only should they be displayed as such they should also produce warnings when you try to edit.

Right now, YMMV has become like a roach motel where tropes check in but they don't check out. Every time we decide a trope is not YMMV after all, after it has been in YMMV for a few days, it leaves behind a bunch of entries stuck in the YMMV tab. (Because of tropers who got warned to put them in but never warned to take them out again.)

I suggest you start a Tech Wishlist for that.

Not thinking this should be a strict rule.

For example, Curb-Stomp Battle is a narrative trope, but in interactive media (i.e. Video Games) it can also be applied to any strategy the player comes up with (this being the subjective part) that results in one.

Bump.

Regulated fun - the best kind! I don't make the rules, just enforce them with an iron fist.

I want to start a YMMV page on a certain trope page but I can't figure out to do it.

1) wrong thread and 2) don't do that. YMMV pages are for works, not tropes.

You don't put YMMV sections on tropes. You put them on works pages.

That being said, can we please get this thing going? It's kind of important with the constant shift in the YMMV index.

You can do an Analysis for a trope though if you would like to interpret it.
