Just having a witch in a story doesn't qualify it for inclusion here. The witch should be one of the main heroes, the Big Bad, or otherwise central to the plot. Such works will invariably include tropes from the Witches and Wizards index.
Note that not all female magic users are witches; some are actually Magical Girls or something similar. If the character in question is referred to as a witch and/or adheres to any of the Witch Classic tropes, the work she's featured in probably belongs here.
Also see the related indexes Ghost Fiction, Mummy Media, Vampire Fiction, Werewolf Works, and Zombie Stories.
