Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

By editing the page.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanHowever, 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.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry PratchettAs 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.
Edited by PaulAThey'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.
Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving. -Terry Pratchett"Rule of three" does not apply to Sugar Wiki articles. They always get a subpage even if there's just one example.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"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asking the question used, and it was shorter than "Awesome, Funny, and Heartwarming Moments", but you're right, that's outdated usage.
[and everything else I had to say has been ninjad]

How does a person put the entry "Crowning Moment of —-?" into a TV Trope page?
