Isn't Just for Fun rather inherently YMMV? I'm not sure we need an additional banner stating that.
And accordingly, pulled it off Audience Reactions.

A genius, a philosopher, an abstract thinkerI don't think Adorkable is YMMV - to at least some extent, it's something writers deliberately try to create, plus it would just make it a gushing page.
I'm not completely sure if The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction should be added to the crowner. The title and the description is written entirely as an Audience Reaction, but the examples are fairly objective.
You've got roaming bands of armed, aggressive, tyrannical plumbers coming to your door, saying "Use our service, or else!"Nominating Designated Monkey- it is, following the description, a reaction of fans. Beyond it, Creator's Pet lists it as their opposite.
I am nominating Poor Man's Substitute. It is about the fame of an actor, after all.

Fame is generally easily provable enough to be effectively non-subjective. I don't think Poor Man's Substitute should be made YMMV; I think the examples should be pruned to cases where casting decisions were made based on the similarities (which removes subjectivity and "some people say" entirely).
However, I do think it should be made Trivia. Once it's run its course here, I'll try to remember to bring it up in that thread.

Nominating Chorus-Only Song and Second Verse Curse (not to be confused with Single Stanza Song). A song being only known for its chorus or for one verse is not a trope, it's how a song is remembered by audiences.
I found a trope that is NOT suggestive. Junk Rare - based on the st two paragraphs of the article:
''There are the awesome, powerful rare cards that you're eagerly praying to see when you crack open a booster pack...and then there are these. A Junk Rare is weak, narrow, useless, or otherwise undesirable, and to make matters worse, it's rare. So much for Power Equals Rarity.
Naturally, one player's Awesome, but Impractical is another player's Who Cares How Impractical It Is, It's Awesome! And one should never underestimate the power of Narm Charm. And 100% Completion.''
Narm Charm, 100% Completion, and "awesomeness" have nothing to do with competitive gameplay. The trope is clearly about when cards are rare but lack usefulness from a strategic perspective. That is not something that should be treated suggestively; either a card works or it does not.
Strong proposal to remove the YMMV tag from this page.

Keep it breezy!Game-Breaker is another YMMV based solely in the opinion of the competitive gameplay.
The precedent established earlier in this thread with Alas, Poor Villain is that taking a trope off YMMV requires TRS, so I expect that would hold here.
That said, I would agree with a proposition to remove Junk Rare from the YMMV index.
Regarding Game-Breaker, I'm 99% sure that that is YMMV for the same reason that, for instance, Complete Monster is—it seems like it should be objective, but people just can't agree in reality (how much of an advantage does a character have to have before they count as "broken"?), sparking natter and edit wars.
Say, why is The Ship Yard listed as YMMV? It's not a trope; it's a collection of (usually nautical) puns. I don't see anything particularly subjective about it.
I like cute things. You gotta deal with it.I have no idea why The Ship Yard is listed on YMMV. It shouldn't be - it's a Just for Fun page.
Also agreeing that Junk Rare should not be YMMV.
Shipping is subjective, and Just for Fun pages shouldn't get linked in articles.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Are you agreeing or disagreeing with My Timing Is Off? I'd say s/he's correct - it's not even a page about shipping as such, it's a place for suggesting new X Ship style puns. Giving that those aren't really approved of anymore - in fact, there was at one time an attempt at getting rid of them - Just for Fun is about the only thing it can qualify as. It's not YMMV, because it has nothing to do with actual shipping.
With all due respect, what Nrjxll said is correct. The Ship Yard is not an actual shipping trope; rather, it's a collection of puns. I do agree that it shouldn't be linked in main articles, but it has about as much business on YMMV as Heard Any Good Jokes Lately? does.
I like cute things. You gotta deal with it.JustForFun.The Ship Yard is subjective because it was once on The Ship Yard, and shipping is subjective.
We'd have to change The Ship Yard to the literal trope before pulling the banners or else the YMMV material is going to come in.

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

Eh. It's a Just for Fun page, and not terribly subjective at that, since you can at least point to two (or more) distinct parts of a work (generally one publically know, and one less known) you may like it for. I think it can go either way with having YMMV, really.
