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.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread

Previous query
(tbh it derailed without answering the question).
I prefer to not have Fan Work medium folder, but I'll let someone else to weight in if we actually have a policy on that.
A reminder that discussions "if should" would need to go to Wiki Talk.

Which I don't have access to. (sigh)
Fan Work isn't really a medium so much as a category. It's way too broad to be considered a medium, especially since Fan Work projects can manifest as one of multiple different mediums (e.g. film).
DBZA should probably be Web Video.

I would put them under Web Video. I would use Fan Work for unclassified things and for project that cover multiple mediums like ^ said.
Macron's notes
Thanks. I'll clarify that on the TLP I was told otherwise on.
According to Namespace, Web Video is for live-action works, implying DBZA actually belongs in Web Animation.
Trouble Cube continues to be a general-purpose forum for those who desire such a thing.
Oh, interesting...in that case there is an inconsistency issue because all abridged series works were moved to the Web Video/ namespace but I think that's a discussion to take to one of the Namespace discussion threads

Fan Works also includes all types of fan-made content, so it seems to be that we are supposed to classify anything fan-made under Fan Works.
There overall doesn't really seem to be a clear consensus, so I really have no idea.

We've had multiple discussions on this topic, and they never reach a clear consensus.

Confusing things further, Youtube Poop is in the Web Animation namespace. And I've already made a previous query about how even within that has inconsistent namespaces (e.g. WebAnimation.Walrusguy vs. Creator.cs188).
Judging from some of the discussions I've seen lately, our namespace system as a whole is kind of a mess right now when it comes to things published on the Internet, it seems.

I'm making a wiki talk thread for this. Hold on.
Macron's notes
Locking this as resolved thread (even though we weren't able to answer the question definitively).
Macron's notes
Dragon Ball Z Abridged is in the Web Video namespace, but I've been told to put it in the Fan Works folder in a TLP. Which folder it's in changes depending on the page. Sometimes it's even in both folders.
So which is it? A Web Video or a Fan Work?
