What does that piece of garment look like? I am inclined to say no on the grounds that it's not a Bollywood example, and the trope description indicates it's somewhat important that the trope applies to Bollywood examples.

I remember the discussion when Wet Sari Scene and Sexy Soaked Shirt were split. The reason there is a separate trope called Wet Sari Scene is that it apparently is a common Bollywood convention. Hence the Bollywood part is important. I don't think the part about "other films that directly reference the concept" was intended to mean "any film where the wet garment looks like a sari", but films where the scene is a shout-out to or parody of the Bollywood trope.
I haven't seen the Mad Max movie in question so I can't say if the scene is indeed a Bollywood reference, but it sounds unlikely.
I agree. Description says 'Bollywood-specific', Mad Max: Fury Road isn't Bollywood, therefore the example is Sexy Soaked Shirt and not Wet Sari Scene.

The easiest thing would be to merge Wet Sari Scene with Sexy Soaked Shirt.
Gallium: IIRC the original trope was called Wet Sari Scene. People called for it to be renamed since it was being used for all scenes with wet clothes, not just saris. But the discussion ended up in a consensus that the Bollywood case was so special that it deserved its own trope, and Sexy Soaked Shirt was created as a supertrope for everything but the Bollywood cases.
This wasn't too long ago (A year? Two years?) so I doubt consensus has changed enough since then to merit repeating the entire discussion.

Hmm, Iwanted to move the example because it looks like we agree to post it on Sexy Soaked Shirt. I haven't noticed that Sexy Soaked Shirt has the exact same example with almost the same write-up, added on 16th of May. So I'm just gonna remove it from Wet Sari Scene.
edit to add: The old thread from TRS of Wet Sari Scene and its super-trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=1380150559010733300
I need your opinion on the matter of Sexy Soaked Shirt vs Wet Sari Scene, regarding one example.
This was addedd to Wet Sari Scene:
The trope was re-defined as a trope only for Bollywood films, or other films that directly reference the concept.
I haven't seen Mad Max Fury Road, but I think this example would fit better on the more general trope page Sexy Soaked Shirt.
I've exchanged several messages with the troper who added it. They claim that they merely crosss-wicked it, and their argument is that the women are dressed in "something that's closer to a sari as opposed to a shirt".
I don't think this qualifies this examples for Wet Sari Scene. What do you think?
