Works with tropable content go on their own pages, not on the pages of related works. Backstroke of the West examples don't belong on Revenge of the Sith. Songs can be troped in the Music/ namespace. Mods can be troped in the VideoGame/ namespace.

Or in the FanWorks/ namespace. Depends what folders/subpages the trope has.

Fanfic Recs is a catch-all term that includes any kind of fanwork: comics, fics, games, animations, ect. It just focuses on fanfic because most people write fanfic.

There are guidelines for how to make a FFR page though - see Fanfic Recommendations.

FanWorks/ is where you can index those pages, not where you collect trope examples.

Depends what folders/subpages the trope has.
The OP is talking about a work page, not a trope.

I meant the Fan Works subpages. BreakTheCutie.Fan Works, for instance.

You said mods and fan music go under the Video Games and Music tabs, I was just adding that some pages have a fanworks folder/tab for those instead.

Okay, but BreakTheCutie.Fan Works is in the BreakTheCutie/ namespace. The Fanworks subpage of a trope puts the trope name in the namespace and the media category in the title. You should never be adding examples of tropes in the FanWorks/ namespace. The Fanworks media category will show up in the Main/ namespace or in a trope namespace.
