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

YMMV pages aren't indexed at all, afaik. Creating a list like that, however... IDK. I guess you could do it in the GoT main YMMV page?

^ Thanks for the reply. I know work YMMV pages are not indexed but as someone who looks for episode YMMV pages, finding them is a bit tedious. I've seen a lot of Recap YMMV pages for other works like Star vs. the Forces of Evil, RWBY, Ducktales 2017, and The Nostalgia Critic. That's just a few examples. Putting it on the main work YMMV page is a good idea though I'd like some more feedback first.
We do something similar with links at the top when a subjective trope has its own page, so there's precedent for that sort of thing.
Absolute destiny... apeachalypse?
^ Thanks for the reply. That's true...
How would I format the folder or entries because not not all of the Recap pages have YMMV pages? For example, Season 4 Episode 13 of Star vs the Forces of Evil has a YMMV page but Season 4 Episode 14 doesn't. Would I use bullets in the section because otherwise the episode number would not match the list number?
For example, this:
Compared to this:
(I left out the extra formatting so you can see the episode numbers without hovering over it.)

You should include the non-existent pages as redlinks so that when the pages are eventually created, they'll already be listed.

^ That's a good idea. Thanks.
So like this (with the rest of the episodes):
Edit: What if a YMMV page is never created? That would leave a lot of red links.

So what? Episode 13 will still direct visitors to Episode 32.

^ True.
If there aren't any objections I'll index the Recap YMMV links on the works' YMMV pages, starting tomorrow or the next day.

I think that the idea of indexing YMMV pages is worthy of discussion. This thread would be a good place to do it.
Why isn't there a list of YMMV pages for individual episodes of a work? As far as I can tell, the only way to know a Recap page has a YMMV page too is to click on that episode's recap page and see the other tab. Wouldn't listing/indexing the Recap YMMV pages somewhere (like on the work's recap page) make it easier for them to be found by those who are looking for them? Especially for works with dozens of recap pages for episodes.
For example it could look like this: (From Game of Thrones)
Edit: Fixed formatting. I hope.
