WMG is for theories and fanon you've come up with.

Headscratchers is for things that you don't understand and want explained.

That sounds fair enough, but how could that definition of "Headscratcher" ever intersect with the definition of "Fridge"? Fridge is something you figured out during a "Holy shit, THAT'S why/how/etc...", and a Headscratcher is something you can't figure out.

Congratulations, you've discovered why the distinctions between those pages are largely meaningless.

In theory, Fridge Logic is for "This doesn't make sense."

Headscratchers is for "This doesn't seem to make sense, does anyone have an explanation?"

The distinction is... hazy.

Is the sarcasm really necessary, Fighteer? All I did was ask a question.

I don't think the sarcasm was intended toward you so much as his opinion about the need for separate pages.
