I agree with M101 about the namespace.

[up] I assume you're referring to Fighteer.

Anyway, would do you think about my ideas on posts 146 and 148?

I think Software would be enough for all non-game software, and I think some software is tropable. (With tropes like Exactly What It Says on the Tin, Theme Naming, Themed Cursor, Easter Eggs, et.c)

I propose a "Nollywood/" namespace to coincide with "Bollywood/". There's only like one Nollywood film with a page, so it won't be any hassle to alter.

Sorry for the bump, but I think a "JustForFunTropes/" namespace would be a good idea, or maybe "JfFTropes/".

How is that distinct from JustForFun/? Also, tropes go in Main/ by default.

Some works are on "JustForFun/", and some works have a "JustForFun/" page. What if somebody wants to make a page listing Just for Fun tidbits?

I think JustForFun/ is enough.

Primary articles — that is, about actual works — should never be on Just for Fun. We've used it sometimes for made up works, where we're just goofing around, but that should ideally be fairly rare.

So, I just put Just for Fun tidbits on main for stuff like Daring Do

It's a book within a show that shows up in one episode and is known to be an In-Universe Long Runner.

Okay, so that will take some discussion.

How about, for YouTube Poops, "YouTubePoop/" or "YTP/"?

Those can go in the existing namespaces Web Video/ and Web Animation/. They aren't a separate form of media, and being a different genre doesn't get its own namespace.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Namespace Map is missing Referenced by... and Recap namespaces... why?

Referenced by...? Never heard that one before. It seems to be doing poorly for a page and namespace that has potential to be much bigger.

Namespace Map is about media namepaces. ReferencedBy/ and Recap/ are none.

As we are talking of it, what should become of the Namespace Map? I created the page, but I have since retired from the namespacing efforts and have no clue whether it is still up-to-date. I also am not sure if it is actually used as a reference.

Let's just say and leave it at that.

I would honestly turn it into an Administrivia page and then point still confused people here.

I still think unpublished works shouldn't be lumped with Darth Wiki and it should get its own namespace.

Character/ should be the namespace for character pages. Currently, most of these pages are in Self Demonstrating/, but some pages have no proper place, such as Comicbook.Loki, Main.Doc Scratch, and Main.Jenny Everywhere. The index, SelfDemonstrating.Character Pages should also just be Character Pages, and not limited to Self-Demonstrating Articles.

On an unrelated note, I also agree with [up]. Unpublished works should have their own namespace.

I still think it should be covered by Characters/. Character pages are already broken up by group sometimes; just more breakups and you have pages focused on one character.

I'd rather we'd avoid single-character character pages, although it may be already too late. note  Currently we don't have a choice, as putting them all on the same page would easily go over the character limit, and thus break our wiki like a twig.
