SugarWiki wicks cleanup

Pages on the Sugar Wiki namespace are YMMV, which means they do not belong in the examples list of a work or trope page. I'm removing links from pages that violate that rule. Any help is appreciated! The three pages with the most wicks are

• Funny Moments with 10721
• Moment of Awesome with 10226
• Heartwarming Moments with 8944

Actions and quick 'n' dirty tricks:

• Command/Control-F "sugarwiki" to grab every page in the namespace. Doing so means that even if you're on Funny Moments, you might find some Awesome Music and the like.
• If the moment is potholed, un-pothole.
• If the moment is part of a natter-y or reaction-type comment, delete the entire comment. "They then hug. Aww." -> "They then hug."
• If the moment is stated in a clause or sentence fragment, remove the clause:
  • "Alice defended the gates from the giants, which doubles as a Moment of Awesome." -> "Alice defended the gates from the giants."
  • "This crosses over to Funny Moments territory when Alice and Bob stand around for a bit and then leave in awkward silence." -> "Alice and Bob stand around for a bit and then leave in awkward silence."
• No action is to be taken if the link is in the body text, per ATT.

I've gone through some of the Heartwarming wicks already, up to the L's in the Main namespace.

The page states "Please note: Darth Wiki and Sugar Wiki do not go on main or YMMV pages", however the site is pretty lenient on allowing them on YMMV pages. Should they be removed?

I'm personally against moving every single Sugar Wiki item from YMMV. If there's only one example on a YMMV page for Awesome Music, for instance, I think it shouldn't receive its own AwesomeMusic/ page. If there are multiple examples, like five, then it could be a good idea. YMMV.Rock And Rule is an example of a YMMV page that has only one AM entry (though I assume there could be more as it's a music-oriented film). But it has six entries of SugarWiki.Awesome Moments and seven of SugarWiki.Funny Moments, which is why they're listed at Awesome.Rock And Rule and Funny.Rock And Rule, respectively.

As for other Sugar Wiki entries that don't get subpages like SugarWiki.Visual Effects Of Awesome being placed on YMMV, that's hard to say. They're typically uncontroversial, but some may disagree for their placement as they're mostly gushing.

I leave them alone on YMMV, since those pages are full of YMMV items already, and there's complaining in addition to gushing so they're probably fine. I'm only tackling works and trope pages — those are easier decisions.

I've wondered if Sugar Wiki items could be moved to a work's SugarWiki/ page.

I don't think giving the work an extra namespace would be necessary here. Such pages would likely end up being short, as Funny, Awesome, Heartwarming and Awesome Music typically earn their own subpages (though they shouldn't be added excessively), and there are only about 5 other pages that get examples put on YMMV. I'd rather keep it all on YMMV.

Found this example on Antagonist in Mourning which is kinda hard to understand as someone who hasn't seen the show. I'm not sure how to reword this to remove the link to Funny Moments. Is this a Zero-Context Example?

• Both the beginnings of a Heel–Face Turn and a Funny Moment in the sixth season of Lost. Bonus funny points because none of the other characters were aware of that last bit beforehand. Cue some reactions of "wait, what?!?" Locke's primary antagonist Jack didn't take his death very well either and was the only person to attend his visitation. In death Locke earned more respect from Jack and Ben than he ever did when he was alive.
  Ben Linus: (Delivering a eulogy) John Locke was a believer, he was a man of faith. He was a much better man than I will ever be, and I'm very sorry I murdered him.
  Frank Lapidus: (Burying the body) Weirdest damn funeral I've ever been to.

Why not just move examples without enough examples for a page to the general pages, like Heartwarming.WesternAnimation?

Technically not Sugar Wiki, but Tear Jerker has 19,643 wicks.

That's another massive effort. At least at a glance, the majority are on YMMV pages so they can be ignored.

Heartwarming: 8742 wicks
Funny: 10601 wicks
Awesome: 10139 wicks

Awesome: 9977 articles
Funny: 10298 articles
Heartwarming: 7788 articles

Now that the Sugar Wiki namespace correctly displays the YMMV icon on example lists, this might be more of a back burner project.
