I just came across a review for something called A Curse of Truth. The only problem is that we don't have any pages for A Curse of Truth. How does this happen? Was it a botched page move? Did the work page get deleted while leaving reviews intact?

Check the namespace— It's in /fanficrecs, not /fanfic

We should really figure out a way to have fanficrec reviews link back to their page, though

Fanfic Recs / A Curse Of Truth doesn't exist either though.

Okay, you're not familiar with how fanfic recs work, then

Basically, the original work will have a page (or pages) where people can recommend various fanworks. We have it set up so that it ties into the reviews system. but the reviews so created will be under their own name. For example, FanficRecs.Naruto For Want Of A Nail Fics links to a review of And then suddenly, Ninjas, despite us having no page for it

Oh that it explains it. I thought you could only do a review of a work if it already had a works page here. I didn't realize things are different for fanfics.

Seems like this is resolved, so, closing.
