I've suspended DolphZ over the edit warring.
Any possible connection to either Yonggary Fan 2011 or Yonggary 2011?
They had some wonkiness on that page in the
past. Theirs was a different wonk than what we're seeing here, but given how obsessive a Single-Issue Wonk can get, I thought it worth asking.
No IP overlap that I can see, but I can't do a deep dive ATM.
I have good news and bad news.
The good news is, I messaged Daethalion about correct example placement and they seem to have taken my words to heart. Lesson learned, moving on.
The bad news is, we have a new user called Monst Squad 27 who added Base-Breaking Character and Broken Base entries to the YMMV page 6 months too early for that, then added one of them back after I deleted them and pointed out the necessary waiting period. So that's edit warring and ignoring a trope's example policy.
Weirdly all there edits seem to be focused on the film as well as bashy.

Do we need a page lock?

Any chance we're seeing ban evasion from the just-suspended DolphZ?
^^I don't think so. DolphZ was the only offender on the "Ghidorah is not pure evil" bandwagon, and we can probably put a commented-out warning at the top of the page saying, "Do not add Base-Breaking Character or Broken Base entries until at least 6 months have passed or without consulting the Broken Base cleanup thread: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=14667066520A94266400&page=1" which, if I'm not mistaken, is what we've done with past works in this situation. Someone should definitely have a talk with MonstSquad27, though. If no one else wants to, I will.
Well they've already Edit War 'd. I think a mod should take care of it.

Monst Squad 27 has been suspended for their edit warring as well...was tempted to make a coagulant joke but that's mixing metas.
I went ahead and deleted the re-added Base-Breaking Character entries then added the commented-out notice I mentioned above. That seems to be everything for now, so feel free to lock this discussion. If anything else comes up I can just make a new topic.
1. Dolph Z has a severe hang-up about the MonsterVerse version of King Ghidorah. They keep trying to insist that he's not pure evil, despite evidence suggesting he is in both the film and its novelization. I called them out on it over PMs and their latest justification is that Ghidorah isn't listed under Complete Monster yet. (Who wants to tell them how the appeals process for Complete Monster entries works?) Given that this is not only causing a prolonged Edit War but also shows signs of Single-Issue Wonk, I'm curious to know how best to address the problem.
2. Daethalion has added two main page entries to the film's YMMV page. I've moved them both, and plan to address the user myself, but I want to leave this here just in case things aren't cleared up quickly.
