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.
The way I've always understood it — which may be incorrect — the page goes under the namespace of the original work if the page is about both works, but if the page is only about the adaptation there's no reason for it not to be under the namespace of the adaptation.
Aye, that's how it works.

Every single trope on that surprisingly short list seems to come from the Tom Cruise movie.
Then it should be under Born on the Fourth of July.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
I understand that the general practice when a work is adapted into a different medium is to put the work page under the namespace of the original work. Don't necessarily agree with it in all instances, but I get it...movie based on a book goes under Literature unless you're splitting off separate articles. OK.
But is that also the case for works based on memoirs or other non-fiction books? Because Born on the Fourth of July is under Literature, which strikes me as completely bonkers.
