For the most part, Fridge/Headscratchers/WMG generally don't follow the same rules as main/YMMV/trivia pages (see Exceptions in What Goes Where on the Wiki). They seem to function as a cross between main pages and forum stuff (though I've seen alot of disagreement).

I wouldn't tamper with those pages myself.

That's incorrect. Fridge pages have much stricter standards now. 1 and 2 are not allowed on fridge pages, period.

I'd say delete the natter. If there's a lot you're unsure of, I'd see if there's a cleanup thread you can take them to.

1. I can't find the ATT, but I know that First-Person Writing is not allowed even in Headscratchers or Fridge pages. The only exception to the rule is the troper's own page.

2. No, readers are not supposed to answer questions from Fridge pages.

3. It's okay to make minimal modifications to entries in order to remove First-Person Writing, as long as the meaning remains the same. The ATT I linked to suggests that sub-bullets should be removed, since they can be interpreted as Natter.

A month late, but what they said. And it's answered on this post.

Plus, there's also a cleanup thread with regards to this.
