Indexing Issue: Tear Jerker

Works that have a tear jerker sub page use double indexing for some reason. They are listed both in the main article and the corresponding medium sub page. While this is not breaking any rules I know of, I still have a few problems with it, namely:

1) The two indexes don't match - some entries are only present in one and not the other.

2) It makes the page unnecessarily long and ugly, especially when you get to third-point bullets.

3) It's completely redundant, unless you think Readers Are Morons, who can't figure out the concept of dividing an article by medium.

The solution is easy enough - keep work indexing within the sub pages, which is what the other "Moments" pages do. I suppose you can make a case about indexing them in the main article for categories with few examples (say 3 or less), since an index that small would be a waste in itself, but if I understand correctly there's now an initiative to make sub pages for every work that has a main article to keep the page length from becoming unreasonable, so such cases will soon all but disappear.

I was considering making Music into an index, but wasn't sure if I should just do it. Western Animation, I believe, could also be turned into an index. I think we could maybe just list the tearjerker pages for types of media of the main Tear Jerker page, and then make all of those into their own index.

How does that sound?

ETA: On second thought, I'll take care of it straight away. It's pretty easy enough to fix, so...

Okay, I got it fixed.

I'm not sure what I should do about Fan Fiction or Web Original. There is only one sub-page for the former, and two for the latter. So should we just leave them, for now?

Where to put in-series examples?
