Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Since it's not Audience Reactions (meaning it's just subjective examples), I've never considered mentioning "audience reaction" as a requirement.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup- YMMV was previously called Subjective Tropes. It's when something is an example in a work according to a troper, but not all may agree with it.
- Audience Reactions is about fan and critical reception, it's about things that are external.
If they weren't different, there wouldn't be a subcategory, but how non-tropes are placed in one in the other heavily leans on "it so happened and nobody discussed it". This is also my interpretation, at least I've never heard of "this is how audience thinks" needing to be applied outside the Audience Reactions's list.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupThanks for that clarification.
The reason Easily Forgiven cleanup agreed it had to list the audience reaction is without it is just Turn the Other Cheek which is not YMMV. I know it odd to require that which is why I brought here, asking about any other way to differentiate them.
Maybe audiences reaction isn't the term I'm looking for. But how else to make examples convey the YMMV part that makes it separate from Turn the Other Cheek?
Also, Unintentionally Unsympathetic is an Audience Reaction, so why isn't or shouldn't Easily Forgiven which is related and oft overlaps be?

Per cleanup
, I've been cutting Easily Forgiven examples that don't mention the audience reaction part (just Turn the Other Cheek if just about forgiven in-work.) But that's effectively every example I've seen since, which I didn't think was a problem as they just moved pre-YMMV criteria examples there so general cleanup. But these were added to the main EG page.
Given such examples are still being added and 99% of exiting examples are likewise, I'm asking if it's worth continuing such cleanup (no one's objected yet), or if I'm being overly strict about what's misuse. This entry, specifically the recently added last part, gave me thought.
EG cleanup has been unreliable in responding to my inquires there so asking here first.
