Correct. "No examples" tropes fall into one of several categories: Sugar Wiki or Darth Wiki, which means that they live on their subpages only and not anywhere else; an Example Sectionectomy, which means that there are no examples on the main trope but there may be wicks to it from other articles; and Flame Bait, which means the trope does not get examples anywhere, ever.

Ok. Then you should probably change the banner on Awesome Art since it's sugarwiki and yet it has a normal ymmv banner.

You can only write so much in your forum signature. It's not fair that I want to write a piece of writing yet it will cut me off in the mid

Actually, the rule about Darth Wiki items not being suitable for YMMV does not extend to Sugar Wiki at all, with the exception of e.g Most Triumphant Example.

It was my understanding that Crowning Moment items were kept on the YMMV page until such a time as the work got its own dedicated CM subpages.

Same here. If there's only 1 entry for something like Awesome Music, I often see it on the normal YMMV page.

The rule of thumb minimum examples for a subpage is three. So if there's only one Awesome Music or Moment Of Awesome example (or whatever) it stays on YMMV, but otherwise it needs its own tab.

Honestly though, I tend to move them straight to their own tab even if it's only one example, just because I've found they accumulate examples fast enough it's not worth worrying about the minimum. Some people also move anything with "Awesome" onto the Moment Of Awesome subpage, in its own section.

Anyway, long story short, Eagal should have created the new tabs AwesomeArt.One Punch Man, AwesomeMusic.One Punch Man, and VisualEffectsOfAwesome.One Punch Man. If that seemed like overkill, they could have been put on Awesome.One Punch Man, with their own section, similar to how that page is already split.

I'm of the opinion that all Sugar Wiki examples should be separated, much as Darth Wiki, although for a slightly different reason. Mainly, it's because they are so gushy that they distract from the YMMV pages.
