I've noticed that there's small problem with fanfics getting put under "web original" folders. It's been all pony shock fics I've seen this with though so I assume it was just one person going on a example adding spree.

...so I assume it was just one person going on a example adding spree.

Look at the edit history page and see who created it in the first place.

This isn't a repair shop topic. Can we move this to Wiki Talk or something?

^Sorry about that, I'm a little new to forum posting.

[up]Not a problem; I figured as much. No criticism intended. But TRS is a special forum that actually tags an existing page, and has a limited number of active threads.

Looks like it's someone named Ardashir that added the last one I found. It's a Cupcakes example on the [[psychopathicmanchild psychopathic manchild]] page. The other was a Rainbow Factory example but I don't remember where it was, I recall a few more scattered Cupcakes examples too.

^ On an aside, have you seen the Text-Formatting Rules page? Just type an article name in CamelCase and the wikiparser will automatically convert it into a link.

At any rate, if it's a specific user you might consider sending them a (friendly worded) PM to tell them the proper namespace for web fanfiction is still Fan Fic, no exceptions.

[up] That's a good route to take. If it keeps happening after that, the topic can be brought up on Ask The Tropers for further help.
