A few tropes and [[YMMV.HomePage YMMVs]] have grown large enough that they had to be split into several pages with their own namespace. The ones with a percent sign have their own icon on top of the page. Currently they include:

Covers both Website/YouTube videos and web-exclusive series, but does not include those that belong in the [=LetsPlay/=] or [=WebAnimation/=] namespaces. For big-budget series exclusive to streaming services such as Creator/{{Netflix}}, use [=Series/=] or the appropriate animation namespace instead.)

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=AATAFOVS AATAFOVS/]] -- The [[JustForFun/AvatarAndTheAirbendingFellowshipOfVampireSlayers show]] inspired by Wiki/TVTropes.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Creator Creator/]] (A catch-all for actors, writers, directors, artists, networks, studios, distributors, companies, videogame publishers and developers, etc. Works pages for musicians or musical groups should be in Music/; Wrestlers' personas go under Wrestling/; Let's Players go under [=LetsPlay/=]. Also, it is only pages under this namespace that should be marked as a Creator-type page. Everything else -- including Music/, Wrestling/, and [=LetsPlay/=] -- should be marked as Work-type pages.)

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=LetsPlay LetsPlay/]] (Includes both Let's Players and individual [=LPs=].) [[labelnote:Specific Cases]]Although not a traditional LP, ''LetsPlay/TwitchPlaysPokemon'' goes here for lack of a better option. Note that ''WebVideo/GameGrumps'' and its spinoffs go in [=WebVideo/=], not here.[[/labelnote]]

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Characters Characters/]] -- [[CharacterSheets Lists of characters]] in a work and the tropes associated with them. These are an optional split option for works with LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters. (The [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=CharacterSheets CharacterSheets/]] namespace is used for genre-based lists of these pages.)

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=TroperWall TroperWall/]] -- A space for other users to write things to or about a {{Troper}}.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=SoYouWantTo SoYouWantTo/]] -- For [[SoYouWantTo/SeeTheIndex writing guides]] by {{troper}}s for tropers.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Tropers Tropers/]] -- A {{Troper}}'s personal profile page.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=FanficRecs FanficRecs/]] -- Troper-approved FanFicRecommendations for a series, if you're into it. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

In a perfect world, every work on Wiki/TVTropes would be in its corresponding namespace. But in the words of Tropers/FastEddie: ''"If we had had more forethought, that's the way we would have started five years ago."''

We're relying on incremental change to migrate works to namespaces for their respective Administrivia/MediaCategories: live action TV series to the {{Series}} namespace, comicbooks to ComicBook, movies to {{Film}}, etc. You can help by moving a works article you happen to come across that is in the wrong place. (See Administrivia/HowToMoveAPage for step-by-step instructions.)

%%Careful, though. Sites all over the world link to our works pages. We need to leave a [[Administrivia/CreatingNewRedirects redirect]] in place to service those links.
%% Editor note: the above is obsolete thanks to the auto-disambig system, as long as the title does not change.

The media namespaces currently used include:

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Bollywood Bollywood/]]

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=MadmanEntertainment MadmanEntertainment/]] -- Indexes the works released by Australian home video distributor Creator/MadmanEntertainment.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=WebVideo WebVideo/]] (Covers both Website/YouTube videos and web-exclusive series, except for those that go in the [=LetsPlay/=] namespace. For big-budget series exclusive to streaming services such as Creator/{{Netflix}}, use [=Series/=] or the appropriate animation namespace instead.)

The [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/articlecount.php Article Count]] page lists the currently-used namespaces and how many pages are in each. Moderators can set some namespace specific functions on [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/mod_namespace_config.php Namespace Config]], regular tropers can see the settings. What follows is a general breakdown.

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Roleplay Roleplay/]] (Used for online [=RPGs=].)

* [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/namespace_index.php?ns=Website Website/]]

Of course, namespaces need some maintenance and that is provided by three forum topics: [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13292464700A22187400 Media namespaces -- a battery of questions]] when you are not sure in which namespace to put a page, [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13089408750A90860100 Wick Migration]] for help in moving {{wick}}s between namespaces and [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13345901180A51310200 Suggesting new namespaces]] to propose new namespaces.
