Nope, the Sugar Wiki home page says "Darth Wiki and Sugar Wiki do not go on main or YMMV pages."

I'm actually not sure where the trope is actually supposed to go.

Some subpages like Awesome I believe are sugar wiki.

If You can't find an appropriate subpage, I think you can just create a sugar subpage and put it there.

With Moments entries, though, I thought it's alright to put it in the YMMV is there's not enough to make a subpage for?

^ I do see that done all the time. Same with things like Awesome Music.

Subpages get a bit of a slide on number of examples as long as they follow everything else.

According to the magical powers of Ctrl+F, SugarWiki.Visual Effects Of Awesome appears on 200 YMMV pages (and Main.Visual Effects Of Awesome appears on 847 YMMV pages). Not a single page appears to have a unique VEOA subpage, although a lot of them appear on Awesome pages. So are we supposed to put them on Awesome or YMMV, or nowhere?

I personally think (and thought it was already an unspoken rule that) Sugar Wiki stuff shouldn't be on YMMV pages, otherwise it can lead to people arguing for Darth Wiki tropes to be included. Extreme gushing should be just as discouraged as extreme complaining.

Edit: On the Sugar Wiki page it specifically says, "Please note: Darth Wiki and Sugar Wiki do not go on main or YMMV pages. For more information, please read What Goes Where on the Wiki."

We seem to have gone full circle.

My bad. Missed your post thanks to the other replies.

@Mega Mario Man: A lot of "Awesome" tropes are in YMMV pages because a lot of them weren't always a part of Sugar W Iki. They should go into the "awesome" subpages if they need to go anywhere at all.

In which case, we make subpages for each of them.

That said, there are a number of YMMV pages that have these Sugar Wiki pages listed, only to have a link to the actual subpage instead of the entries. What do we do about those?

^ I think those can be safely deleted. That's what the namespace button at the top of the article is for.

Just went and looked at the YMMV page again (yeah, my life has already been ruined) and I saw that one Kytseo put VEOA back on the page. Just putting it here because I don't wanna remove it and be accused of edit warring over it.
