What index(es) should this go on?

Simulation Game, for starters.

Check the indices of the individual games and see if anything jumps out at you.

EDIT: Never mind, apparently this type of page is automatically indexed now. Didn't work like that before, IIRC, but maybe I'm just misremembering.

Where does Literature.Symbol go? Short Story is a trope, apparently, not an index?

Short Story... should be an index, I think. It's a bit weird to call it a trope.

Is this a TRS question?

- Do you mean, if I'm asking? I would, but it's late, and I'm lazy.

I brought up Short Story as it was the obvious place for it to go, as it's a short story. But it can't, 'cause Short Story's apparently a trope.

I'm asking if we should bring it to TRS to have it reclassified as an index, or if there's some other designated place to do that.

It's clear enough that the page as it's currently written is treating Short Story as a trope, not an index. I'm just pretty sure it should be the other way around.

- Agreeing on the "Short Story seems like it should be an index". Goodnight!

I think we should probably have a separate discussion which includes Novel, Novella, and Novelette (currently in TRS), along with Short Story, to try to make all four somewhat consistent. If we treat them individually, we're likely to make matters worse.

Any objection to a short-term project thread for the four? Should be fairly brief, as I doubt there's going to be much disagreement. But I'm not entirely sure of the best way to handle Novel, since 90% of our literature pages are for novels, which means a lot of redundancy if we turn it into an index...

As for Literature.Symbol, though, it has time machines, so it can go on Science Fiction Literature. Also, if you can find the publication date, it should go on a page like Literature of the 2010s (or whatever the appropriate one for the date might be).

eta: I went ahead and added it to the indexes.

- No objections here, but dunno if there's some process for Project creation. ... I've made 2 Long-Term threads without much discussion, IIRC, and no one's said anything...

Whoops. Wrong thread

Found TurnOfTheMillenium.New Media which doesn't have an index

- You mean TurnOfTheMillennium.New Media, and I'd assume it'd go in the "Works that were made in this time period:" section of Turn of the Millennium.

But, there's only 4 other pages that follow use the Turn of the Millennium namespace...

One redirect: Turn of the Millennium.Literature (redirect to Literature of the 2000s)

The 3 others are similarly unindexed.

KDOC First Night is currently not on an index. What should it go on? There is no precedent for new year's special or other holiday specials besides Halloween or Christmas. I literally have no idea where to index it. Should it even have a page?

It does seem like we might be missing a super-trope that also includes the Easter Special.

&

As the person who moved TurnOfTheMillennium.Literature to Literature of the 2000s way back when (for consistency with all the other "Literature of the [Decade]" pages), it looks to me like whoever came along later and created the other "Medium of the 2000s" pages neglected to handle the existing medium subpages properly.

Basically, the contents of those TurnOfTheMillennium.Whatever pages should be merged in the appropriate "Medium of the 2000s" pages, and then turned into redirects or cutlisted.

So should that be made? Does it need to go to launchpad, or can I just make it since it's effectively an index?

Even indexes should go to YKTTW because otherwise, you get people debating whether it's worth troping, particularly since it's a super-trope to three items and an indeterminate number of works that don't fit under those three. That said, I think it would be a reasonable index / page to mop up those remnants. But follow the process.

Where does The Boys In Company C go

Films of the 1970s and Military and Warfare Films off of the top of my head.

The general advice, when seeking indexes, is to first think of the time period, then genre. :) Then, after that, look at a few similar items and see where they are indexed.

#1190, #1192: YKTTW launched.

I found Characters.Are You Alice, Characters.Yandere No Onna No Ko, and I'm wondering where to index them. The works are Audio Plays, released on CD tracks.

I just created the page for Trolls: The Beat Goes On!, and I need to impress the page. Could somebody add in indexes? Thanks.

Still no takers on KDOC First Night?

Just found Webcomic.Monster, which is also basically descriptionless, and wicked from nowhere...

Given that Bitstrips has shutdown, I don't know if we can find any info on it?
