Hi everyone,

I've just finished cleaning-up the Main Page and Character Sheet of Captain Tsubasa, most notably by moving their YMMV items to the YMMV tab.

However, I've noticed that while the YMMV button appears in Main, it doesn't on the Character Sheet. I've seen other works with Character Sheets that have the YMMV button, so, is there a way to do it on that Character Sheet as well?

Go to the "set page type" tool in the left-hand toolbar, and set the character sheet's type to "a work's example page".

132 is the rudest number.

Did as you advised; didn't work. :(

Wait, sorry, I misread your question. Doing what I said will make the edit screen list YMMV tropes to be moved, not make the YMMV tab appear at the top.

My guess is that the other character sheets you saw had their page type set to "work", which is what makes the YMMV and crowning moment buttons appear. As I understand, this isn't actually recommended, as it has a bunch of undesirable side effects (like allowing people to write reviews of the character sheet that are separate from the reviews of the work it's attached to).

132 is the rudest number.

Ah, I see. There was the main Character Sheet index of TokimekiMemorial that had the YMMV tab (I swear I had seen other Sheets like that, but can't find them right now): it apparently was due to the fact it was set as "index+index". Ticking off the "does indexing" box took out the YMMV tab there.

Thanks for the help!

Wait, why is it setting the page type to "work" that sets the presence of a YMMV tab, and not, you know, the presence of a YMMV page, like with all the other namespaces that aren't Crowning Moment snowclones?

I mean, I can see it on an inclusive basis, to point people to where they should put items flagged as YMMV on pages that don't have YMMV pages yet, but at the least let's get it on "a work's example page".

The code that makes the YMMV always appear on a page set as "a work" (even if it doesn't have any content yet) also makes it not appear anywhere else. This is a known bug, but there is no ETA for it being fixed.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

Done, so locking.
