Moments definition

Would like to dobule-check what counts as Moments.

1. Has "Moment" in the name.
2. Should be in own namespace per What Goes Where on the Wiki.
3. Has own icon.
4. Should be in own namespace per being in SugarWiki/ or DarthWiki/.
5. Is fine to stay in YMMV/ if there aren't many examples.
6. Automatically Spoilers Off.
7. Has a "meta examples" ban.
8. Is either In-Universe Examples Only or No Real Life Examples, Please!

• Moment of Awesome: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
• Awesome Music: 3, 4, 5
• Dethroning Moment of Suck : 1, 4, 2, 6?, 8
• Fridge: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7
• Funny Moments: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
• Heartwarming Moments: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
• Nightmare Fuel: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8
• Shocking Moments: 1, 5, 6?, 8
• Tear Jerker: 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8

Yes, the concern is inconsistency, because I've wanted to bring them into a different discussion and realized I can't lump them together in good faith with this in mind.

I feel like there should be examples of funny moments during the development process of a work. Also, Fridge Brilliance and Fridge Horror articles are usually put together on one page.

Regarding point 5 specifically would like to mention this post by Fighteer for interesting reference, and this post comments on Nightmare Fuel not being DarthWiki.Nightmare Fuel.

The point of this topic is if it's fair to group "Moments" together if they actually don't share the terminology and if they should.

Personally, I only consider "moments" to be the emotion stuff: TJ, Awesome, Shocking, NF, Funny, and Heartwarming. That might not be in line with how the wiki defines them, but those six are the most closely related and share the most similarities, though obviously there's some issues with half being in Sugar and half not being in Sugar.

Awesome Music too, although that may end up getting TRSed depending on how the wick check goes.

Awesome Music is... eh. It's like Awesome Art. I don't consider it a "moments" trope but I can see why others would.

Fridge/ by definition isn't even in the work and can't be called a 'moment'.

Well, actually... Fridge is defined very inconsistently. It being in the work or not doesn't seem to be consistent at all.

Bump

Bumping with permission from Amonimus. He still wants to continue discussing these subpages, most notably Shocking Moments.

To be specific, I've recommended kory to add Moments to the "Create New" list because they are very popular and default to a new subpage per rules. However I'm not sure Shocking Moments count for that rule.

For consistency, perhaps.

Should be added to What Goes Where on the Wiki if that's the case.
