In fairness, there's not really any single right way to use the word "deconstruction" (and depending on who you ask, assigning it a definite meaning might be missing the point, although it's used fairly consistently in literary criticism), but it is possible to be so far from the mark that the word loses any semblance of its normal usage. The TVT definition is that.
Averted just means "didn't happen". Most pages shouldn't make reference to that at all; it's rare that a trope is actually conspicuous by its absence.
Inverted should only be used for tropes that consistently follow a particular pattern where that pattern is notably and pointedly reversed.
Subverted is where you start to use elements of a trope, but break away from the use of it part way, surprising the viewers with the revelation that you weren't actually using the trope they thought you were using. That's probably the most abused in terms of the use doesn't even match the definition supplied by TVT half the time. Even the page itself grumbles about it.
YMMV just implies subjectivity or controversy, and has kind of become a dumping ground for anything too controversial to be worth caring about.
The basis of it is "things that didn't seem scary or ominous at first glance" and after reading the page, I have realized how utter futisivective it became.

Dammit, TVT.
No, that's probably not true.

1. Complete Monster
2. Narm
3. Tear Jerker
4. Nightmare Fuel
Or maybe I'm just a hard-ass, I dunno.
