Consistency:
Someone either needs to go through every episode guide of every series, like Star Trek: The Original Series' and The Simpsons', and remove any and all references to fan reaction in every article — making said articles not only less enjoyable for those fans to read and edit but much less accurate and informative — or accept that fan reaction exists, and that when it's memorable enough in the fandom, it's natural to reference it on pages created specifically for fan reaction. The YMMV section was created for subjective tropes, to reference things that are not part of the plot but that do exist in the audience. If it violates the rules to reference the overwhelming majority fan reaction to the episode there, be sure to edit out all references to how much fans hate other episodes around this site (in the older series, referencing fan reaction in the episode's main page is the norm). Otherwise, drop the issue, and allow descriptions of fan reactions to remain; it's ridiculous that any references to the widespread negative audience response to this episode (something articles that cover media always reference, from newspapers to The Other Wiki) keep getting deleted.

Yeah, if you see fan opinions on recap or work pages, move them to the YMMV tab if they can be put down as a specific concept.

We get it, Lale. The episode isn't well liked. This isn't the page to say it. If it is to be said anywhere, it should be linked to a YMMV trope.
Interesting that the YMMV tropes for the episode have been trimmed down to almost nothing, as well, as if it's still forbidden to acknowledge that this episode is the series' least popular. Apparently, the episode has a devoted fanbase, but it seems biased to forbid as much as possible any mention of its infamous reputation in the fandom... given what a big part of the fandom hatred for this episode *is* (justly or not doesn't matter — it exists).
