If Anti-Climax Boss has a YMMV banner, then Breather Boss, should also have one.

Should Evil Is Sexy get the banner, or can we do something?

Is Actor Allusion trivia? Because if so, it needs a trivia banner.

This is still a signature.

The Trivia thread is in Special Efforts. Check the crowner there. Everyone, please be reminded that putting the subjective banner on a trope is as simple as adding it to the YMMV or Audience Reactions indexes. Trivia is still in flux; I have to manually set banners on those tropes but they should still be added to the Trivia index.

You sure the Trivia banners don't work automatically now? Yesterday I removed Ham and Cheese from that index and the banner disappeared instantly. And we still need that Flame Bait index.

Hmm, maybe Eddie did that when I wasn't looking. I'll ask again about the Flame Bait thing.

I saw some pretty ugly stuff in Idiot Ball. Should we banner it?

What's "uncharacteristically stupid" could differ for alot of pepole.

Step Three: Profit is basically a plan that doesn't make sense to the viewer. I'm not sure if there's an objective trope in there, but right now it's being treated very subjectively.

Why Spotlight-Stealing Squad is in the Audience Reactions index?

[up]Character bashing most likely.

And why is Voodoo Shark in YMMV? It's a kind of Plot Hole, so unless we want to call that subjective too, than it's a trope. Okay, it has a few references to Wallbanger, but you can remove those without loosing any of the definition's essence.

Voodoo Shark is likely YMMV as the trope is basically "Hand Wave that makes something more confusing then before it was 'explained'". Seems obviously YMMV to me - confusion depends on the individual.

Also, it's a License To Whine page, or it has the potential to be one, at least.

No more closely related than it is to Plot Hole. They should both be treated the same. And again, you can remove references to Fridge Logic without losing the core definition. And I don't find "more confusing" mentioned anywhere.

Well, the current definition includes the line "And the Hand Wave itself is a Plot Hole, a Fridge Logic moment, or Wall Banger." I figure it's the latter two that are the YMMV bit. A Hand Wave might not be a Voodoo Shark unless you apply Fridge Logic.

[up][up][up][up]...the problem with Spotlight-Stealing Squad be in the Audience Reactions index is because Audience Reactions are things that objectively are not in the work. I guess neither the trope itself neither their more popular misuse qualify-both use screentime and focus in relation to other characters as measure.

[up][up]Why not? Looks at the laconic definition - "A Plot Hole is filled with another Plot Hole." That's all you need. I can fix the main article in 30 seconds, just by ending the sentence after Plot Hole.

Wall Banger has the banner gone again. Can someone fix it so it never disperses again?

Resumbiting Hollywood Pudgy for a banner

The basic trope is

An average-sized woman (or, more rarely, man) is seen as overweight or obese

Well what qualifies as normals varies from location, person and a number of different factors. It's ultimately up the audience whether the character or media is overeating about their weight

What happened to the flamebait banner on Adaptation Decay? Please fix it.

It doesn't really need it. I've been zapping the wicks and have managed to knock them down to 1000 and so far they don't seem to be growing back like the Darth Wiki stuff.

Crown Description:

YMMV is for items that are reactions of the audience to works and tropes that need a significant judgment call to tell whether they exist objectively or not.

Should these items become members of YMMV?

Note: Audience Reactions need to be subjective, emotional responses and things that are likely to cause arguments and disagreements. Merely being outside a work or inside an audience don't make things YMMV
