Hilariously, it seems whoever locked the page has [[CriticalResearchFailure no idea]] how the YMMV page actually works.

\\\"Short for \\\"Exported Character\\\", an Expy is a character from one series who seems very similar to a character in another, older series (Or even the same). A few minor traits — such as age and name — may change, but there\\\'s no doubt that they are almost one and the same. Often seen in different works by the same writer(s) or production team.\\\"
This is the first paragraph of {{Expy}}
\\\"This can simply be the tendency of writers to prefer certain characterizations for important characters (or knowing which ones are most marketable/popular), or the influence of the design process. Or on the other hand, it may just be a bad attempt to try to revive a character that the writer liked, but nobody else did and had to get rid of it. When by a different author, it may be a Homage to the original creator and/or character. In the negative sense, an expy can be seen as a just a bloated, gimmicky version of a perfectly serviceable past character. In a positive sense, it can refer to an \\\"upgrade\\\" of a two-dimensional or otherwise limited character to one more appreciably complex.\\\"
This is the second paragraph.
Jumping to the fifth paragraph:
\\\"When the character appears in the same show as the previous character, he\\\'s often a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute.\\\"
This makes sense reading the SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute description. Quoting the laconic version:
\\\"Replacement character is almost exactly like their predecessor.\\\"
