Cut reason:

And the Fandom Rejoiced is a SugarWiki item, by it's own description is shouldn't be on YMMV pages at all, and I don't really understand what this example means. Also dangerdan97 can't even link it properly.

Honestly, I’m also more concerned that the history is blank and dangerdan97 also added the page to the cut list.

I can't confirm who cut it the first time since the cut history doesn't include names, or what was the state of the page, but the listed reason sounds valid if true.

dangerdan97 has cutlisted the page currently, which it should be in its current (when I wrote that) state.

I’m restoring the tropes that were on there yesterday. I also replaced dangerdan97’s trope since it shouldn’t be on there and it clearly was disparaging towards Marvel fans.

Okay, I see. I was not aware about the epileptic tree thing. I’ll remove and replace that.

Also, sugar wiki stuff isn’t allowed?

Amonimus (Sergeant)

Some sugar wiki stuff is fine, but most of them can only be on their own trope pages.

For the record, Characterization Tags are forbidden, do not use "Thor!Jane". (e: ok, the example is gone anyway)

I'll wait for mods to say if dangerdan97's reasoning is valid or it counts as wonk and vandalism.

I'll wait for mod to also check the previous page versions, because I'm not sure if restoring pages does not count as Edit War.

Okay, I’ll take that out and put back the Awesome Music thing.

Here’s the wording dangerdan97 used if you need it

  • And The Fandom Rejoiced: It apparently doesn't take much to redeem one's self in the eyes of the MCU fandom, as Natalie Portman's return appears to totally redeem the 8-year absence from the franchise.

The example reads as very complainy anyway, so even if it was valid, it would need to be rewritten to be less angsty.

Strictly speaking, no, Sugar Wiki items should go to their own subpages, not on YMMV pages. Enforcing that on the wiki is really difficult, but you might as well do it right. There is a Visual Effects of Awesome subpage for the MCU and an Awesome Music subpage for phase 4 of the MCU (where the item is duplicated).

If you can reword And the Fandom Rejoiced, the entry goes here.
