Alternate DVD Commentary is defined as a commentary track that is produced to be appreciated alongside of the original work, despite not being packaged with the work itself. Like a Strategy Guide, the product is incomplete without access to the original work.

In Ask The Tropers, a debate began about where the proper places to wick ADC are.

If I am understanding this correctly, Alternate DVD Commentary is something produced by a third party as a derivative work. If so, then it would only be used as a trope if we had an article for the derivative work or its creators.

But we'd also put it on the work if the same creators were the "third party" who produced the track, such as the Sing-Along-Blog commentary.

It is a derived work, in the same way a review might be considered "derived".

And we don't mention reviews on the main article for a work, either.

If the creators of the work also provided a gag commentary, then it would be a main-page example.

Um, why do you specifiy Gag commentary? Is there a different trope for gag commentary and Alternate DVD Commentary?
