No.
A work's page is about that work, not fan works based on it. And Examples Are Not General.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.

Maybe under Memetic Mutation, if there are multiple examples of that specific subtype of fic.

Sounds like something that would go under Fandom-Specific Plot.

Yeah, that's a better fit.
On the YMMV page
for Miraculous Ladybug, somebody added a Broken Base entry that's specifically about a popular kind of Revenge Fic. In other words, it's not about the series Miraculous Ladybug itself. On the other hand, it can't be listed on a fanfic's work page since it's not about one specific fanfic but rather a popular subgenre.
So is it kosher to list an entry about a subgenre on the main work's page?
