I've never seen much point to it TBF.
I personally think it's fine to use bold on those notes and other warnings (such as Spoilers Off), since the bold would catch the readers' eyes, make it harder to ignore and the warning would stay in their mind longer.

We do not have a rule against Bold Inflation. We have a rule against bogous intensifying styles in examples. NR are not normal text, they are alerts, so similar to spoiler warnings it makes sense to me to bold them.

I support bolding in cases like this, and am fine with a reversion.

I also routinely use bold for such cases and am good with reverting.
Yeah, revert.
(Annoyed grunt)
Reverted.
Blue XIII has just removed
the bold styling from the No Real Life Examples, Please! warning in the intro to The Scrappy, with edit reason Bold Inflation.
I'm not going to unilaterally restore it, not least because I added the bold in the first place (so that'd be an edit war), but it'd be good to get a consensus on this.
Does a No Real Life Examples, Please! or No Recent Examples, Please! note within a trope intro justify bold text? Or is that overuse of bold, and should it simply be a hyperlink?
