If the character doesn't appear in a work, then they are Unpublished Works and cannot have a dedicated subpage.

Did you perhaps mean "don't appear in any works with pages?"

I expect they mean OC in the sense of Original Character Tournament, where the character has "never been published before". I have to put that in quotes because any given tournament's definition of "published" probably varies wildly from ours.

I came across a similar issue in a previous query. Granted the creator is known for many of their OCs being a part of what is basically a form of Undertale fanfiction, but they also have some original characters of their own.

The page I found that made me create this query is Characters.Kilala97. It’s for the person’s many My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic OCs.

Created by ~DarknessRising24, who hasn't been editing since 2014. I propose moving any examples with complete context be moved to the main Creator page.

Sorry for reviving this, folks. TV Tropes does not allow the listing of OCs in any standalone context, whether as a creator subpage or a troper subpage or a standalone article. We only care about characters that appear in published works. This OC obsession needs to be stamped on.

They can move their OC list to their Troper page.

EDIT: Misread and assumed this was a troper subpage for some reason. Move any salveagable character tropes to the Creator page.

Edited by mightymewtron I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

There’s also Funny and Tear Jerker pages as well.

Creator can has YMMV pages, moment included, to cover their work that doesn't has page. So those pages are ok as long as they're about their works.

That being said, most entries in those pages are ZCE, violating Weblinks Are Not Examples.

^ The first two are complaining, and the last one is... weird. I’d be fine with cutting that page.
