Not only is it in the correct namespace (Adminstrivia.Namespace directly says web serials go in Literature), but its examples on trope pages should also go in Literature instead of WO.

I'm pretty much the only person here who actively tries to correct the categorization of Worm examples, but I'm far behind on its sequel so I can't do so right now because of the spoiler risk.

As I said in another recent ATT thread, the WebOriginal/ namespace was deprecated in favor of less broad namespaces. While some current namespaces are still Internet-specific (such as WebVideo/), online literature uses the same namespace as printed books. Generally, pages that still use the WebOriginal/ namespace predate its deprecation and simply haven't been moved yet.

You can't just say "perchance".

Then I would recommend a change on Web Serial Novel to list it as a subgenre of Literature instead of Web Serial Novel. Otherwise we are giving the wrong cues to users, like in my case.
