If a Trivia or YMMV item is used within the work, it can be added to the work's main page tagged as InUniverse and it won't be marked as trivia to be removed.

I think they want to add a Playing with a Trope section to Defictionalization because it's been used In-Universe.

Not sure if that's done with Trivia pages. Trivia falls under Not A Trope, and the Playing With Wiki says, "Don't bother playing with it if it's Not A Trope."

Let's sort out the In-Universe uses and see if there are enough to make a trope.

There actually was a Playing With and I didn't understand why just "Triva Page" was reason enough to delete it. Honestly I don't understand why it isn't acknowledged as a trope: In Universe Defictionalization has a lot of potential, varying from people making "createbaity" fiction hoping to Exploit the phenomenon or a Defictionized person dealing with the Drama they're just an imitation with nothing of their own. I'm no good naming sources though, else I would of tried getting Infertile Super Soldiers acknowledged as a Trope.

Half of what was written on that Playing With page was not In-Universe stuff, so that will need to be rectified before recreating it.
