Or ''"Where does this go?"''

This page is intended to provide a more detailed overview of the media namespaces than the Administrivia/{{Namespace}} page, and to help editors decide into what namespace a work goes if the list on Administrivia/{{Namespace}} leaves them unsure.

!! These groups of works / page types have currently no namespace assigned yet. Relevant discussion added where it exists.

General discussion of media namespace issues is currently [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13292464700A22187400&page=1 in this thread.]]

Please update this page if possible.

!! Other namespacing rules:
* Disambiguation pages stay on Main/.
* Multiple media works go to the namespace of the original medium ([[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13329719840A01140100&page=1#16 source]]), though it's always possible to split off pages for adaptations into their own namespace. Make redirects in the namespaces that don't have separate pages.
