See Sandbox.Web Original Wick Sorting for progress
The WebOriginal/ namespace
(currently at arond 400 pages) has frequently been misused as a catch-all for any internet works, even when the work in question should probably go on other categories, such as Blog/, Fanfic/, Literature/ (in the case of Web Serial Novels), Roleplay/, WebAnimation/, Webcomic/, Website/ or WebVideo/.
Therefore, this project is dedicated to sorting or moving these works to their correct namespaces. Due to the obscurity of a large part of these works, a lot of these pages tend to also be low-quality (zero-context examples, poor grammar, red links, no crosswicking or indexing, Auto-Erotic Troping...) so general cleanup for these pages can also be discussed here.
(Note that the namespace isn't completely redundant, as a lot of works such as Creepypasta or Original Character Tournaments don't really fit any of the above namespaces.)

Would WebOriginal.Ground Zero be Literature/?
It's basically an online Game Book

Since it's on that chose your own adventure site, i would go with the video game namespace
Friends forevermore
I'm not sure about that. Web literature is still literature, and gamebooks go in Literature.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
Yeah, that's definitely just like an e-book with CYOA stuff.

Agreed really. It very much is an e-book.
He/Him
Alright, I think I'm just gonna move all the work pages listed under Choose Your Story to Literature/ because they just act like e-book versions of physical Gamebooks, which are just Literature.

At least it cleans up some clutter
(he/any)
Oh yeah, giving y'all a heads up that I made WebOriginal.Penis SMP and it shouldn't be moved anywhere because it's collaborative internet fiction like Goncharov is ![[tup]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/thumbs_up_emote.png "[thumb up]"){kind=small}
Alright
Asking again
Would social media accounts be blog/
I mean the Sonic Twitter is already under that namespace
the Retromancer
Personally I think so.

Hi! :3

Would fun quizzes like WebOriginal.What Color Are You go on Website/?
Art Museum Curator and frequent helper of the Web Original deprecation project
Unless they're centered around a website, no, websites merely host them. Keep it in web original for the time being
That one specifically might slide into VideoGame/, since it uses the quiz format to do that.

I'd like to apologize for all this.
Hi! :3
video game
There's also the Rugarth one
Yeah, that one I dunno. It got brought up in the thread (or was it the other one?) ages ago when it was first being created. Put it on hold for now.
I'd like to apologize for all this.Okay, what is Twisted Toonz anyway? Ignore our discussion on whether it's tropable or not; WebOriginal/ is definitely the wrong namespace for it because it happens live at Comic-Con, according to both the description and its official website.

Podcast or audio play
Hi! :3
Audio play
He/Him
Audio Play I guess, but just reading existing scripts doesn't sound tropeworthy

He/Him
WebOriginal.Seinfeld The Twin Towers should be Script/ I think.
But are fan scripts allowed?
Art Museum Curator and frequent helper of the Web Original deprecation project
I don't see any reason why they shouldn't be
Do y'all think that the social media accounts could go into blog/
