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.

I'm not sure if there actually is a policy on this, but adding examples from comic strips to a folder labeled for comic books sounds unintuitive compared to simply saying the folder is for comics.
Maybe this would be something to bring up in Wiki Talk if there hasn't already been a thread on it.

Probably in these threads: [1]
[2].
^Those threads are about namespaces, and I certainly don't want to change the current namespaces for comics (it would be far too much work, to start with). My question is about the folders on individual trope pages, which divide trope examples by medium. They do not always follow the namespaces, which they perhaps should.
^^Yes, it does seem unintuitive. I guess my question would be: what's the best solution - split the folder into two, matching the namespaces, or rename it to just "Comics"? Is it kosher to do the latter without prior discussion?

Making a Wiki Talk thread wouldn't hurt, since the previously linked threads are unrelated to what's being discussed here.

OK, I've done so here: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=16412252170A90045100&page=1#1
Perhaps this query should be closed to avoid having the discussion in two places.
I've noticed that on trope pages that are divided into sections by medium, there's sometimes both a "Comic Strips" and a "Comic Books" section. This corresponds directly to the name spaces Comic Strip and Comic Book, of course, so it's entirely reasonable.
Sometimes there's a section called "Comics" that combines these two. And sometimes there's just a "Comic Books" section that contains examples both from Comic Book and Comic Strip.
What's the preferred organization here? In the last case above, should the "Comic Books" section be split and the strip examples moved to a new section?
