Move the roleplays to Roleplay/ and the novels to Literature/. Rejected Princesses should stay where it is.

Side note: That Wyrmrest Accord page needs a major cleanup ASAP.

The Website.Bleach Anime Dot Org has / had a redirect called Website.Bleach-Anime... Given how other hyphenated redirects aren't cut, like VideoGame.X-Com, I suppose I should move it to Roleplay.Bleach-Anime?

Relevant clean-up thread: Websites clean-up project.

IIRC, ^^ is right that the web novels should go in Literature/. That's generally where I've seen them.

Also note that Wyrmrest Accord is on the crowner for the clean-up project and is currently sitting at 4 for, 0 against cutting. So... "it needs a cleanup ASAP" is to put it lightly.

Regarding the hyphenated redirects: I think Website.Bleach-Anime was kept for its inbounds (285 inbounds while Roleplay.Bleach Anime Dot Org has 0 inbounds). I don't think we should make more hyphenated pages.

Look at all that shiny stuff ain't they pretty

^ Yeah, but shouldn't it be moved to Roleplay, to match the place it's redirecting to?

... Hmm... Should Website.Fenspace be in Web Original, like Orions Arm? Or in Wiki, because its content is a wiki and a forum??

Hyphenated redirects are not supposed to be used at all and certainly not duplicated. It having an incorrect namespace in addition to the hyphen is further ground to have it cutlisted and nothing else.

The Wyrmest Accord page is just one person's character profile. Wouldn't stuff like this fit better on a server wiki?
