Etiquette question: editing one's own works

Just out of curiosity, what are the community's views on the creator of a work editing his/her own wiki? I would assume that creating a wiki for one's own work would be sort of tacky, but what about editing one that was created by another person?

Actually, I don't think there's a problem with someone making a page for their own work. A work is a work, so editing a page someone else made for your work or making a page for your own work shouldn't be a problem either way.

Pages are open to editing by anyone. That includes the person who wrote the work. The only reason you'll get in trouble is if you try to bias the page by removing accurate but unflattering items.

The other question: Take it to the discussion page. Explain why you're putting it on, listen to why the other person is taking it off. If it's a subjective, move it to the YMMV subpage; it may be as simple as you intending to invoke a trope and the other person feeling that you didn't succeed. What page? I'd like to take a look.

That was a theoretical, actually. Just was bugging me.

Just as There Is No Such Thing As Notability, there is no such thing as authorship on the wiki. Once an article is written, it is owned by the community (with the exception of a few things like Troper pages). As noted by Madrugada, an author is subject to the same rules as anyone else regarding Natter, Repair Dont Respond, Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgement, etc. Since articles are expected to be neutral (or at least respectful, albeit snarky), it is considered bad form to gush about your own work, remove negative opinions, Entry Pimp it without justification, etc. We've had issues with this in cases like The Easy Breather, whose author infamously guarded and pimped his page until we forcibly removed it from him and locked it.

Heck, I'd welcome people editing my own work page, if only because it'd provide evidence that someone other than me has read it!
