However, two things to bear in mind: such entries go on the YMMV page for the work, not on the main page, and none of them have been called "crowning" for a very, very long time.

They don't go on the YMMV page, they go on the their own pages.

Sometimes they go on YMMV. Usually when there's only one or two examples and no one's created a page.

As a historical observation, it is correct that sometimes they have gone on YMMV, because people don't always follow the correct procedure.

As a statement about what should be done by somebody adding a new item, "They don't go on the YMMV page, they go on the their own pages" is correct. Crowning Moments are part of Sugar Wiki, which is a separate section of the site from YMMV, and items from one don't belong in the other.

They're not Crowning moments, and haven't been since before Fast Eddie retired.

The YMMV placement generally occurs because of Rule of Three. Whether or not it specifically applies to Moments pages is often confused, particularly for newer tropers.

"Rule of three" does not apply to Sugar Wiki articles. They always get a subpage even if there's just one example.

I said "Crowning" because that's the term the person asking the question used, and it was shorter than "Awesome, Funny, and Heartwarming Moments", but you're right, that's outdated usage.

Like I said, it can be confusing. :) (/humor)
