Exactly what medium things are supposed to be sorted by (within the "Originally..." section) is confusing. The second one, that the other things are based on? The final one? (That seems trickier, because there's probably more than one secondary adaptation, like a cartoon based on a film that gets a video game and a comic book.) Some of the sections definitely need resorting, but I'm not sure where I should be resorting them into. I'm not surprised that a couple of them have folders called "????"

@Daibhid C:

The idea was that the primary sections were the medium that the work was original printed in.

For example: Shrek started as a book, that became a movie, that in turn became a play.

If the play was based on of the movie more so then it is this trope and it gets put under: 1. Book 2. Film 3. Play.

If it is based on the book more than the film, or mixes the two, it is not this trope, but would get 1. Book 2. Film and Play —- My goal with the folders were to break it up via level 2 in the above breakdowns.

Originally A Book

    Film 

This way, all of the secondary adaptations of the book, that come from the film.

We've got the AC markup, too. I'm going through the page today and I'll turn the structure into H1 (Original medium), Folder (Adaptation), and AC (Secondary Adpatation).

Examples have been re-sorted, and commented-out text on the page explains the Original (Heading), Adaptation (Folder), and Secondary Adaptation (AC) markup. Because there are potentially tertiary/quad+ adaptations, I wrote that certain multimedia franchises can be listed at the primary bullet level, and to list the works within that franchise at the second-level bullet point in chronological order.

I also made some inroads on Cross Wicking, made easier by listing the secondary adaptation as the first bullet.
