YMMV pages in Yellow

Any idea when/why this happened? The Fridge pages I can see being in yellow but not YMMV.

I have to agree...it makes it very difficult to see the links. I never particularly liked it even on the Fridge tabs, really.

I'm going to agree here. It might discourage people from moving links there since it doesn't look like the rest of the example subpages. I also worry that it will encourage natter thanks to looking a bit like the old Troper Tales pages.

[up][up] Same. Never liked it on the fridge pages but it made a bit of sense cause of the yellow lightbulb icon. XD

The point is that YMMV pages are not like the rest of the examples subpages. All the tan pages are personal opinion-ish things.

My only issue with the way tan pages are at the moment is that all internal links, active or dead, appear to be the same maroon color. While I can see the red text as a flag on regular wiki pages for some sort of correction, I don't have that on tan pages.

[up][up]I can understand this reasoning, and support it, but I do think shimaspawn has a point as well. The other yellow pages can be pretty nattery.

I'm not convinced that this will seriously alter things, though.

[up][up] I definitely agree that the color of the links on these pages needs to be changed to something aside from maroon if this change is going to be permanent.

Bump. While my vote is still to just have the subpages normal color, if its going to stay, the links need to change. It's just too confusing as maroon.

Red links should always be nonexistent or This Troper type stuff. Blue links should always be existing articles. If it was possible, another color (like green) could be for redirects.

Reminds me of the old troper tales color scheme, actually. Not that bad. The thing with the links is true, though, I keep going "Wait, that page actually exists!"

My main concern is that it may give the impression that the YMMV tab isn't held to the same standards as the main page, especially since the other pages with that color scheme aren't(not to say they aren't held to any, of course).

[up]Frankly, it seems to me that that's simply making the de facto situation official - YMMV pages never have been held to as high a standard as the main pages.

[up]I think that would be a bad idea - subjectives naturally attract natter, so the YMMV tab needs the higher standards.

[up]I didn't say it was a good idea, as such, but I think that it's already the case, so this just seems to be acknowledging that.

Yes, it is a recognition that a different standard of behavior has accrued around the YMMV tab. Attempts to control that behavior toward the less opinionated style we aim for in the white pages are pretty much doomed, since YMMV is all about opinion.

Turning the page yellow sort of gives us who care permission not to sweat it, freeing up energy to look after the white pages more.

I'm getting adjusted to the background and don't have an issue with it anymore, but we still need to do something about the link color.

^^ Be that as it may, I for one am still going to try to keep a leash on the hypersubjectiveness, at least for the ones I regularly follow.

Can you at least fix the link colors? They're all red.

go ahead and do every stupid thing you can imagine

I think TearJerker/ should probably be yellow, too. Awesome/, Heartwarming/, and Funny/ are all in the Sugar Wiki portion of the site - while NightmareFuel/ and HighOctaneNightmareFuel/ are in the Darth Wiki portion. So it kind of makes TearJerker/ being white stick out, and that's definitely opinion-based (especially since many tearjerkers are unintentional).

Look at the page!
Look how it shines for you
Subjective through and through
Yes, it is all yellow

Don't get worked up
Over this endless pool, of
Hyperbole and natter, too
Because the page is yellow
