Any YMMV trope that's marked "in-universe examples only" should not have examples listed in YMMV subpages of works.

As I mentioned in this query, Barrenta previously said in the complaining cleanup thread that IUEO and YMMV are mutually exclusive, with the former taking priority over the latter, and that out-of-universe wicks should be removed.

What tropes are you talking about? If it's IUEO and doesn't allow examples on YMMV pages, then it shouldn't be YMMV. Though I still don't understand why tropes like Crack is Cheaper can't list in-universe examples on that page and still have them on YMMV pages.

As of now, the three tropes that are YMMV (Audience Reactions, anyway) and IUEO are Discredited Meme (which also permits creator-acknowledged examples), Fan Hater, and True Art Is Angsty.
