Here at Wiki/TVTropes we have plenty of different kinds of content. We point out patterns in a work, discuss patterns that may or may not be in that work, share our reactions to fictional happenings and take wild guesses at what happens next - among other things, most of which are [[Administrivia/NotATrope not considered tropes]]. It became clear early on that letting all this content mix together was not the best idea.

!{{Website}}s
Websites (including wikis) fall into an unusual category between works and creators. Rarely is a site itself credited in a creative work. Instead, its users may (collaboratively or individually) publish creative content on the site, using it as a platform. Some guidelines:
* A website is not a creator unless it receives an authorship credit ''as itself''.
* A website is not a creative work, although content published on it may be. [[note]](Leaving aside discussions about whether the design of a website can itself be considered tropable.)[[/note]]
* A website may be a publication or distribution platform, but it should not have an index of works unless it is in some way involved in the production of the content as well as its distribution. (Netflix makes original shows and publishes shows from other creators. Only its original shows would be listed on its article.)
* The users and administrators of a website are real people and troping them is prohibited. Yes, even if they adopt personas.
If these guidelines result in no tropable content, then we should not have an article for the website.

!{{Roleplay}}s
Roleplays ([=RPs=]) are a special category of creative work in which real people are actively participating in the creation of an ongoing story, typically for an audience or for publication. Roleplays are treated like normal work articles, with the following caveats:
* A roleplay must be accessible to the public in order to have a work article. This means either that ...
** Anyone can read or watch the RP without a private server invitation, a login, or a paywall [[note]](unless the RP is a commercial product broadcast for profit)[[/note]].
** Private RP content is published for general consumption, in whole or in part, at some point in time.
* ''Only public content'' may be troped.
* ''The players and/or game masters are real people'' and may not be troped. Not even a little. Not even that funny thing Sue did that one time.
* All participants in the RP are considered creators and must follow the [[Administrivia/TheFicMayBeYoursButTheTropePageIsOurs rules for creators]] when editing the article.
In case it's not clear from these rules, TV Tropes is not your record-keeping site. Don't try it.
