Context Sandbox / WorkWithOtherMediumOriginals

Go To

1In theory, when a work has been adapted to a different medium, we should ''always'' have a default article namespaced to and listed in the ''original'' medium, and adaptations will be redirects to the original medium unless they have enough unique material to justify a separate page.
2
3When it comes to {{Anime}}, {{Manga}}, and {{Visual Novel}}s, we seem to be doing a good job at this, thanks to tireless and obsessive fans of those media. When it comes to things like literature vs. film, or theatre vs. film, on the other hand, we're doing a ''terrible'' job! Films are popular, so thanks to AdaptationDisplacement, people make pages about those, completely ignoring the source work.
4
5This is a page for collecting works that are basically about the wrong medium, usually in the wrong namespace.
6
7Note that some of these works may involve such drastic adaptations that there ''should'' be more than one page.
8
9If there are seperate pages for both the source material and the adaptation, they ''do not'' need to be listed here and remain separate.
10
11If the page is moved the original page should be kept as a redirect and wicks referring only to the adaptation should be to that redirect in case another troper wishes to split the works at a later date.
12
13Once pages have been moved, they should be checked to see if they make sense eg if they refer to purely to the work to being a film if it is now a literature page or referencing events that only happen in the adaptation but not in the source. It's often preferable to create a source work page rather then moving the page if there these sort of differences.

15See also Sandbox.FranchiseNamespaceCorrection for a similar project; moving franchise pages out of the multimedia franchise namespace and into the original medium namespace.
