At least one mod (nombretomado) covered this on the discussion page:

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/remarks.php?trope=DarthWiki.MostAnnoyingSound

The policy is discussed further on the What Goes Where on the Wiki page and the description of the main DarthWiki page.

In general, Darth Wiki tropes cannot be in YMMV pages. So, removing them was correct.

So Most Annoying Sound is gone and done for outside Darth Wiki now? Ok

The same applies to Sugar Wiki.

From what I heard about Sugar Wiki, it’s technically not allowed, but not enforced as strictly.

I think the real reason why Sugar is allowed is due to various tropes related with it having their sub-pages, so Funny, Awesome, Heartwarming and alike. If a critical mass of entries from Sugar Wiki ends up in YMMV section, a specific sub-page is made and they've got reposted there.

Meanwhile, Darth stuff goes into limbo of Darth Wiki, since most of those tropes are jet fuel to Flame War

I support allowing Sugar Wiki on YMMV pages.

Oh. Okay, so I'm supposed to remove all 995 wicks of Most Annoying Sound. Okay.

That'll start happening once I figure out how to be faster. 3 per minute is slow for mass conversion anyway.

I thought Darth Wiki entries weren't allowed out of their pages because they were contentious. So shouldn't they just be cut?

If Sugar Wiki's allowed I believe is being debated elsewhere.

Sugar Wiki entries technically should be on their own subwiki instead of YMMV, but it's generally not hard enforced. It usually does not cause as many issues as Darth Wiki, which is and should be zapped/moved on sight.

^^^ You can start a thread on short term projects to get more eyeballs.

^Wouldn't a projects thread be redundant with the TRS thread? That thread has been in project mode for a while.

As for whether Sugar Wiki examples should be allowed on YMMV pages, I'm pretty sure that would be a matter for Wiki Talk.

^^ - At 3/min, I could do it in 5 hours, but that was namespacing... Automating the page opening would've made it even faster.

If I really wanted to get it done immediately, I wouldn't even be talking about this, I'd just do it.
