Well, you can make a subpage for Shout-Out for organizational purposes if there are a crapload of examples clogging up the main page. For example, Magic The Gathering has enough examples of Game-Breaker to have its own GameBreaker.Magic The Gathering page.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
Could be worse

Of course, when you do make a specific subpage for a well-represented trope, don't forget to mention it clearly on the main page. The best place to do this would be after the description and before the example list.
If you have just a few shout-outs, it's probably a better idea to include the shout-outs in the Trivia tab.
Everything can be found on the Internet... except common sense.
I see the Awesomeness.
YMMV and Trivia should be created if there's tropes on the main page, or you think of some to add. Characters is something you add when the Character Tropes start sucking up large amounts of mainspace page or somebody gets around to making it. Laconic is mostly for tropes and is something you write to provide a one sentence or so explanation for the trope. Haiku is for when somebody writes it.
Fight smart, not fair.
I'm not actually sure what to call those tabs that appear on the top of a works page. Like YMMV, Just Bugs Me, Characters, Laconic, Haiku, etc.
Anyways, I was wondering about the process behind determining which indexes got that tab and which didn't. In particular, I thought Shout Outs deserved one of those.
