Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
If it's a single page, it is assumed that it would have been a Franchise/ page had the franchise received entries in enough media.
This means that the page should be located at the superseries' names, with redirects from the individual series' names.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.
The Multimedia Franchise namespace is reserved for works that already have at least three work pages (each in a different medium). I don't believe there is a strong preference for which of the two following methods are used to start troping a franchise:
- A franchise page in the original medium.
- A single work page in the original medium.
^ & ^^: I'm referring to single-media franchises here. Rules of the Franchise/ namespace don't apply here.
Scientia et Libertas | Per Aspera ad Astra Nova
In that case, I would say yes. Use the official "superseries" title, but have redirects from the original series name. (And other series names.) That should make it easier if any of the individual series get split off later.
Check out all the redirects which point to Alliance/Union, for example. (And that one already has separate pages for a number of its subseries or individual books as well.)
Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.
(Definition: I use Crazysamaritian's point 3
as the definition of the word "series".)
Let's say, at first there's the Original Series. And then there're several spinoffs of the Original Series, some of them qualify as a series on their own. Eventually, the publisher gave a "Superseries" title for the Original Series and all its Spinoffs.
Suppose all the works described above uses the same work page. In that case, the work page should be named after the Superseries (following the First Installment and Franchise separation
project), or the Original Series (for the best known title)?
