I'd be willing to help, but I wasn't aware there was an actual policy on getting rid of links to Narm. Also, it's spelled "wick".

I see the Awesomeness.
I've always spelled it wik as in wikia, rather than wick as in candles. Do we need to kill it?
Fight smart, not fair.
I'm pretty sure Narm isn't supposed to be on any of the main/character pages, but if we are supposed remove ALL links to it (including ones on YMMV pages) I did not know about that.

Well it is on Darth Wiki, and has the flame bait banner.

It was moved there before we had YMMV/Audience Reaction tropes though. I think we might be able to downgrade its status to Audience Reaction as long as it's tweaked to be "this is a drama scene that made me burst out laughing" instead of "this is a drama scene Done Badly".

I'm gonna PM Eddie about it.
Got the PM. I'd say Narm could be moved to YMMV status.
Goal: Clear, Concise and Witty

Cool. I wasn't sure, as I'd heard there were edit wars about it before my time, and it sounded like the kind of trope Audience Reaction that would get a lot of "ya-huh" "na-uh" style arguments because it was a subjective reaction rather than something objective. Should we shut this down and open a TRS to clean it? Or does it even need the full cleaning treatment* ?

Er, it's being used to complain here, for example.

Of course it's going to be used to complain. Any subjective trope is going to be used to complain, as people like complaining. That's why we're supposed to clean out complaining

Which makes it a natter-magnet according to What Goes Where on the Wiki.

So were the You Fail tropes, they got renamed, rather than deleted, because there was merit to most instances, but the various Did Not Do Research subpages got deleted for being bash fests. We could hold Narm to the same standard.

The you fail tropes had a fairly objective basis, and were fixed for neutrality. Narm cannot be held to objective standards.

The biggest problem with Narm is how misused the page is. I'm going to run a TRS thread to see if we can fix it up.
I need some help with it. Does anyone want to help?
