Talk:Credit cookie

proposed merge
Should this article be titled "Post-credits scene" or "credit cookie"? Clearly, we don't need two articles on this subject, the only question is, which is the more common name? As best I can tell, there are few references. If I were searching for an article on the subject, the idea of searching for "Post-credit scene" would never occur to me. I'd search for "credit cookie". But usages vary widely. Does anyone know an authoritative source for which usage is more common? Rick Norwood (talk) 12:40, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've just done a little research and it seems to me that "Post-Credits Scene" is the most common name. Google searches for the phrases (in quotes) return 6,000 results for "Credit Cookie" and 600,000 results for "Post-Credits Scene". In fact, the alternative name "Movie Stinger" receives more results than credit cookie. In terms of my own experience, while I've held a keen interest in these scenes for a long time (my friends always look to me at the end of a movie to find out whether or not they should stay around!), I'd never heard of the phrase credit cookie until I followed a link within Wikipedia's Film article just now (apparently the only link to this article within Wikipedia, whereas Post-credits scene has about 50 incoming article links). Credit cookie seems to be a name Roger Ebert came up with, which is odd because I've always known them as a "Monk's Reward", another name apparently coined by him!
