Topic on Talk:Main Page

Policy has been updated to allow YMMV comments on YMMV subpages, keeping in mind the wiki's policy against Gushing About Characters You Like.

I see that All The Tropes:No Lewdness, No Prudishness currently includes this bullet point:

Personal opinions on hotness. Examples should stand on their own without the introduction of YMMV material. Adding your own thoughts and feelings on an example is an opinion, same as calling an example good or bad. Don't do it. Don't try and extend your feelings to a larger group of fans either, e.g. "...and fangirls everywhere rejoiced". You're not fooling anyone.

I'd like to re-phrase that to say YMMV examples are allowed on the YMMV and Crowners subpages for works. But before I start writing, I'd prefer to know whether there is consensus to say this, and whether the idea needs any work before I start turning it into actual policy text.

IMOHO, if you have to consider whether something belongs on that page or not, it probably does.

I have no problems with the rephrase.

I more than agree with the rephrase.

Seems like a good idea. Can you please post the rewritten text for us to comment on?

As soon as I've written it, I will.

I concur as well on the rephrase

I agree with the rephrase.

The idea seems agreeable.

This is going to have to go onto the back burner. Somebody needs to check every single work in Category:Cult Classic to weed out the works that a new troper with a Small Reference Pool added to the category.

My apologies for the inconvenience.

Here's the first draft of the replacement bullet point, for comments and suggestions.

1. Personal opinions on hotness. Examples should stand on their own without the introduction of YMMV material. Adding your own thoughts and feelings on an example is an opinion, same as calling an example good or bad. Don't do it. (The YMMV and Crowners subpages are places for opinions, so there's some leeway there, but we do ask that you refrain from Gushing About Characters You Like or People You Like even on those pages.) Don't try and extend your feelings to a larger group of fans either, e.g. "...and fangirls everywhere rejoiced". You're not fooling anyone.

I like.

Concur, I like as well

Good.

Agreeing with this rewrite.

It's been five days and nobody has objected to the proposed wording, or offered any edits to it. The policy has been updated.
