I can understand keeping it on Darth Wiki for being too negative, but Darth Wiki isn't a dumping ground for any page whatsoever that has problems.
So has anyone fixed the issues getting this onto the main yet?

Rhymes with "Protracted."I still think this is not the kind of trope we want examples for on the main wiki. I don't like the Darth Wiki being used as a dumping ground, but I'd really rather not see Narm examples return to the main wiki either. YMMV pages already tend to be nattery hellholes without adding anything else to them.
I asked Eddie to weigh in but he hasn't yet.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Also, it's worth noting that even on the Darth Wiki, there's a fair amount of just plain misuse - I recently cleaned up several If You Know What I Mean sinkholes from the video games Narm page, and couldn't help but notice that there were a number of examples of things that sounded as if they weren't meant to be dramatic in the first place.
To be honest, I don't think moving it to Darth Wiki helps improve some of the misuse — if people see in Darth Wiki they're more likely to assume it's an inherently negative thing.
Also, misuse seems more like a reason to rename or repurpose than move to Darth Wiki.

It wasn't really misuse so much as subjectivity. The same subjectivity that all YMMV tropes have. This one just was noticed first because it's so large.
Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. DickIf the page has been moved, have the wicks and associated pages also been moved? Threads don't get locked till all the work is done.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.Just a few wiks left, the rest has been moved.
There are no heroes left in Man.The wiks are gone. Please close the the thread now (I'm hollering anyway).

Narm
The page definitely needs to differentiate itself from bathos, but I don't see how "people will misuse narm for bathos" is an argument for keeping it on Darth Wiki.
Yeah, unwritten rule number one: follow all the unwritten procedures. - Camacan
