See Sandbox.Web Original Wick Sorting for progress
The WebOriginal/ namespace
(currently at arond 400 pages) has frequently been misused as a catch-all for any internet works, even when the work in question should probably go on other categories, such as Blog/, Fanfic/, Literature/ (in the case of Web Serial Novels), Roleplay/, WebAnimation/, Webcomic/, Website/ or WebVideo/.
Therefore, this project is dedicated to sorting or moving these works to their correct namespaces. Due to the obscurity of a large part of these works, a lot of these pages tend to also be low-quality (zero-context examples, poor grammar, red links, no crosswicking or indexing, Auto-Erotic Troping...) so general cleanup for these pages can also be discussed here.
(Note that the namespace isn't completely redundant, as a lot of works such as Creepypasta or Original Character Tournaments don't really fit any of the above namespaces.)

That's Web Video, I agree
Aight thanks, i wonder how canon said Roblox game is, and if it is, what to do with it? Does it have enough seperate tropes for a separate article? I'm not sure about that
He/Him
Eh the videos seem more important, so still WebVideo/
I do wonder if WebOriginal.Fluffy Pony would fit Useful Notes/ or the newly proposed Media Notes/ better. It is just a fandom after all, much like UsefulNotes.Furry Fandom.

Wait since when were media notes decided, that's a red link. Unless it was just not implemented yet
Discarded and Feeling Blue
Not implemented. Decided here.
Oh alright, so there's at least two web original pages better suited for notes about media

I believe we just need to finish the draft and we're good.

Is WebOriginal.Elfslayer Chronicles Roleplay/ or Literature/? It's a series of 4chan posts where an anonymous OP player talks about a campaign he did.

I don't think that's what Roleplay/ is used for, since there's no Audience Participation.
I'd like to apologize for all this.
Discarded and Feeling Blue
Yeah, that's not really a Roleplay.

Literature/ would maybe work? I can't really say it falls under Blog/ because the OP doesn't update or publish their story on a regularly updated website, sitename, or account. They just seem to be an anonymous user.

Literature/ has got my vote
I'm working on a more suitable for Literature/ list:
Accounts from a Lonely Broadcast Station
An American In Berlin Redux (needs 1 more full context trope to not be a stub)
Aozora's Adventure (well moreso Blog/)
Centennials (also has a script part)
Codename Sylizar (maybe)
Corporate Businessman's Telethon (oo, an object show)
Cubnet (red linked now)
Dirty Laundry: An Alternate 1980s
Floornight (red linked now)
Har Deshur (at least sort of)
Hat Quest (page still sorta confuses me)
Im A Therapist And My Patient Is Going To Be The Next School Shooter (red link baby)
I Went to Another World, but Got Sent Back with My Party?
Jellyneo Doctor Who (maybe Fanfic/)
Keit-Ai (mayhaps Blog/)
Kishi Shainingu Doragon O Seifuku
Kriegs Maiden (sorta)
Red Lightning (apparently wiki based so mayhaps Website/)
The Defrosters (didn't load for me so)
The Interface Series (red link baby)
Theocracy: Empires of Abomination
Trump Leaks (well moreso Blog/)
What Happens When the Stars Go Out
Where Nightmares Fear To Tread
Wii Deleted You (or Fanfic/)
Xenogears: A Rope of Robots (actually better belongs in Fanfic/)

Berlin Redux needs about one more fully contextualized trope to not be considered a stub page.
Alright then, that is outside the scope of my list tho, but i might take a look later
What do you guys think of the list
Sorta
I did want to make one myself
Lol Nein is better suited for Creator/
I was actually thinking WebAnimation/
He/Him
I agree with Lemon. LOLNEIN is Web Animation/
lmao
Not a namespace question but AudioPlay.The Morgue Files is being crosswicked into "Web Original" folders in trope pages (even ones that didn't have one previously). I would think they'd go in an "Audio Play" folder, but what do you think?
Pantheon Wick Cleaning
It's got the audio play namespace, so thus audio play folder
lmao
Alright, thanks, I'll move those.
Just noting that some were in a "Web Video" folder instead, but I argue most of the storytelling is in the audio (which is why I chose that namespace) so I'm sticking with AudioPlay.

Tho there does seem to be an accompanying Roblox game, which complicates things
