Should the media category for websites be Websites?

We have a Website/ namespace. According to Media Categories, in a trope example section, these would go under "Other Sites".

Can we make it "Websites" instead? The way it throws off alphabetization (it's listed nowhere near the other "Web" media categories) bugs me.

I mean, are you talking about the namespace? Because no other namespace is pluralized...

I don't think I've ever seen an "Other Sites" folder. Every page I've seen lists website examples under the "Web Original" folder.

No, the question is about which folder website examples go into on a trope page.

There's an odd quirk that (most) of the media categories are pluralized, but the namespaces are all singular. The question is about changing a Media Categories to Websites. (I'm waiting to hear why we shouldn't before forming an opinion.)

Right, I'm talking about these categories:

Anime and Manga

Film — Animated

Film — Live-Action

Live-Action TV

etc.

Regarding the Web Original folder, other web originals go under a more specific category if one is available. Web Video, Web Animation, etc.

One concern I have is that folks may interpret "Websites" as an additional sign that we want pages on them. Many websites pages are problems, because they don't discuss actual works.

Media categories in trope articles are not meant to exactly correspond to media namespaces. They should serve the purpose of organizing examples and be consistent across all of our articles so that users can broadly expect to find the same things in the same places wherever they go.

Beyond that it's a matter of what works best. I would much rather have a single category for "web" examples than to try to make a bunch of distinctions based on technicalities that don't matter to the average person.
