First, YMMV is not a trope, it\'s an index, and should not be linked from any trope or work page for any reason. Second, when linking within the wiki, don\'t use the entire URL.

Third, YMMV tropes for creators are about their works, not about the creators themselves, so none of those three should go on this page or a YMMV page.
