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.)

Well, if you check the sandbox that I linked above, you'll see that there are a small handful of works that still don't fit anywhere; stuff like memes, online competitions and Twitter accounts. Who knows if they count as tropable, but for the time being, they don't have anywhere to go either. So it should be fine for now until we reach a consensus on what to do with them.
Alternatively, I guess you could put it under Recap/, since it's derivated from another work. (Or not split it, but knowing that you're very much aware of how the wiki works, I know that you're splitting it for a good reason.)
I'd like to apologize for all this.
About the sandbox, Camp Duckburg is more like Web Video than Web Animation, since it only uses screenshots from the original show.

HqamiliciousHm, here's a question. Should Marcel The Shell With Shoes On be moved to WebVideo/ or WebAnimation/? The film version, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On (2021) is listed under Film/ rather than WesternAnimation/, but that's also debatable. Both are about stop-motion characters interacting with a live-action world, and the director has stated that he is going to submit the latter for Best Animated Feature.

I mean, other blended mediums like that tend to be sorted under film already, such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Detective Pikachu, Looney Tunes: Back in Action.

Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI mean, yes, because those films have major live-action elements. Films that have downplayed live-action elements such as The LEGO Movie and The Sponge Bob Movie Sponge Out Of Water go on the other namespace.
I'll have to wait until I watch the film to corroborate which side it leans more towards.
I'd like to apologize for all this.

I guess? I mean Marcel interacts with a lot of humans in the trailer...
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessDoes something like Jenny Everywhere even belong on this wiki? She's an open-source character, and a lot of the tropes seem to be about her appearance in other works.
I'd like to apologize for all this.
Friends forevermore
The entire point of Jenny Everywhere is that she isn't from a distinct work. JustForFun/ works best, judging from her non-public-domain equivalent John Munch.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
Big Catch, Sparkle Edition
I think that works best.
Currently Working On: Incorruptible Pure PurenessI concur, Just for Fun sounds good.
The other work that I'm not 100% on is Twisted Toonz, which seem to be live-readings of famous films' scripts, which is of questionable tropability and only has 4 examples. I'd cut it.

I agree on cutting Twisted Toonz.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.Split off all the talk about what to do with the namespace itself into its own Wiki Talk thread.

I've asked this in namespace thread, but what to do with 2 wicks for WebOriginal.Vine? Or it's fine to remove it from Web Original Wick Sorting by now?
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup The first is an Archive link, so it should be kept as-is. The second can be deleted if the page (the WebOriginal/ one, obviously; not the Website/ one) is cut; since the sandbox is to list all current pages in that namespace, including redirects.
Thanks for taking care of those wicks, by the way.

Sounds like Useful Notes/ would be appropriate.
Stalker2k 7 has a bunch of ZCE, which I hid. How does it stand now?

SMP Earth can be moved to Web Video, it's a livestreamed server.
Sorry for the the discussion comment on your Sandbox, just saw it in the wicks and couldn't find the thread until now T-T
LP Deprecation Cleanup | Ask me about SMPLive Go ahead. If you want to keep the page history, you can ask for the move here.
(he/any)
Done! ^_^

WebOriginal.Ultimate is a troper work made by ~Mrs Doubtfire 1200 , but I'm pretty sure it should be in literature since it's a written work.
(Also the page needs a ZCE pass but that's not important right now)

the Retromancer
Okay, I made Sandbox.Web Original Wick Sorting, where I organized almost every single page in that namespace. There's still only a handful to sort.
Don't start moving pages just yet, I could've easily made a mistake.
