I don't think "Moment Tropes" or YMMV tropes in general are allowed to have videos, but I could be wrong. (Uncanny Valley has one I uploaded, but it's discussing the concept with in-universe examples.)

Usually, you'd go to VideoExamples.Moment Of Awesome, click "Edit Videos," and upload a video file to the page.

However, Moment Of Awesome is not a trope in itself - Awesome Moments is in the Sugar Wiki namespace. I don't think Sugar Wiki pages allow video examples as they're all subjective.

(Partially ninja'd by ^ and I agree that only in-universe examples make sense for YMMV items, but I don't think Sugar Wiki or Darth Wiki get video examples at all.)

Yeah. I think only objective (when I mean objective, I mean In-Universe) tropes allow videos.

Magnificent Bastard has videos, and the Donkey Kong video on Idiot Plot isn't a review, so video examples are allowed for YMMV tropes.

^ The MB (and CM) videos are a little different as they were chosen by the cleanup threads.

^ Complete Monster doesn't have any video examples. And my point was that videos are allowed on YMMV tropes, which is shown on Ham and Cheese, Idiot Plot, and Narm.

I thought it did; my bad, but point still stands.

In any case, tropes having videos doesn't necessarily mean they're actually allowed to. The video approval process, well...let's just say they've approved everything from genuine, properly-demonstrated tropes, to fetish videos posted as a test. Just because these videos exist doesn't necessarily mean they actually should exist. It's always been up to the community to enforce the video rules after the fact since the approvers rarely bother.

That doesn't mean they aren't allowed, mind, just that their existence alone isn't proof.

As much as I'd love to continue this, we got off-topic from what OP was asking: how to upload videos to pages that have none.
