* Administrivia/CharacterSpecificPages: The highest badge of honor your favorite character can get. Whether it's TheHero, the BigBad, or any other character with any level of importance to the story - the size of the page is irrelevant. No number of bytes the page has, either in general or in regard to the character, can change the fact that your favorite character does not deserve to be lumped in with lesser characters.

Just noticed this was redundant with an above bullet point.

** If a work's copyright has expired, it's not illegal to copy from it without giving credit, therefore it must be perfectly ethical as well. After all, plagiarism is just another word for UsefulNotes/{{copyright}} infringement.

* JustForFun/XMeetsY: Ignore the title of the page; feel free to list a work as being a combination of five, seven, ''sixteen'' different works if you want! It's not like after a certain point you're just meaninglessly listing things which are vaguely similar to each other, defeating the entire purpose of trying to come up with a good "X meets Y" pitch!
