It would be less awkward if the pages could be indexed, but YMMV pages lack them for some reason and trivia pages auto-index.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI don't think merging them is a good idea for usability reasons. If I see a specific episode, sometimes I like to check out the YMMV to look for things I missed (I.e. Genius Bonus) or just see other opinions. If I check the YMMV page for the show, I'm expecting general opinions that don't apply to specific episodes — because if you haven't seen the episodes in question, it's kind of useless.
The things in my dreams wish they could chase me!The problem isn't that recaps have subpages, it's that certain things *coughBrokenBasecough* keep sneaking onto said subpages.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.I have said this before but I think the types of shows that benefit the most from those being allowed are anthology type works. There is probably a benefit to episode only subpages even if not (eg maybe the fandom has Opinions on a oneshot character and the ymmv page is already very long).
I do agree misuse and other bad examples (too recent etc) get sneaked on so maybe it is just another whackamole type cleanup situation.

For some long shows I see that every of the 50 episode pages have their own Trivia/, YMMV/, Quotes/, ImageLinks/ subpages. Last time it was asked, it was "technically allowed".
But, is there a point to them? Unless the work's main Trivia/ or YMMV/ are too-long, this only makes it inconvenient to search for examples across the page bloat. Maybe it's fine to merge the subpages?
