Useful Notes catch any non-gaming software and devices, as if it's not a game, it typically wouldn't have tropable content. Not confident on making a new namespace without many more examples, but it'd worth considering with more cases.

TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupThis thread suggested a WebFiction/ namespace, to help with Web Original namespace cleanup. Thoughts?
Paging ~FernandoLemon too to see if they want to add anything.
TRS Queue | Works That Require Cleanup of Complaining | Troper WallI need to finish checking how many pages could potentially be added to it since it helps my case, but a lot of it, like you said, comes from my cleanup of the Web Original namespace.
Otherwise, I'll just repost what I said there.
- A lot of [pages in the WebOriginal/ namespace] are Creepypasta, Choose Your Own Adventure-types (like the stuff from Choose Your Story), and other things like The Pixar Theory and Orions Arm. Besides, I find it odd to put stuff like Candle Cove under the Literature/ namespace.
It might work... I think something like "I Like Monkeys" (an email story) counts as WebFiction/.

Currently mostly inactive. An incremental game I tested: https://galaxy.click/play/176 (Gods of Incremental)Fanfic/ would, of course, be a subcategory of it.
Also, if created, what do we do about Web Serial Novels? More here of keep under Literature/?
I'd like to apologize for all this.The point of this proposal is to give web novels somewhere to go that isn't Literature/.
(As a long-time proponent of putting them in Literature/, of course I'd oppose the proposal.)
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.I like the idea of Web Fiction/ so far.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupWhat about the other types of Web Fiction we discussed?
I'd like to apologize for all this.I launched Sandbox.Web Fiction Namespace to analyze how many pages could potentially fit in the suggested WebFiction/ namespace. Not counting Web Serial Novels, which were far too many for me to count, there are almost 300 pages that could go there.

I'd like to apologize for all this.Bumping for input; if everyone's okay with the idea, we can crowner it.
I'd like to apologize for all this.I like the idea personally.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupI like that it gives things like creepy pastas a namespace to be in.
Macron's notesShould this question can be moved to own thread to not make a crowner here and also organize feedback on the sandbox?
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupMight be a good idea:
Macron's notesSince this stems from the Web Original cleanup because that's where a lot of these pages will be moved from, it can also be discussed there.

I'd like to apologize for all this.I find it interesting that we're talking about adding a namespace while elsewhere we're trying to consolidate them.
"It's Occam's Shuriken! If the answer is elusive, never rule out ninjas!"Eh, this might end up causing the WebOriginal/ namespace to become redundant, so... stay tuned!
But yes, I find it curious that the recent deprecation of the LetsPlay/ and Wiki/ namespaces happened so close to each other.

I'd like to apologize for all this.Found another potential page for an App(lication?) namespace: VideoGame.The Walt Disney World Explorer
Anyway, The Walt Disney World Explorer is a Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh computer application [...]
I'll make Sandbox.App Namespace for organizational purposes.
I've not added Website.Vine until further discussion, since... it's a website, you could use it from desktop just like Twitter.
TroperWall / WikiMagic CleanupWikipedia says it launched as an app first.
I guess? Do note that I never finished moving all the wicks from WebOriginal.Vine
I'd like to apologize for all this.If there were more pages made i would argue for a software namespace, sorta like the app namespace proposed above, but could include things like screen savers (wasn't there set with a full blown plot and conclusion). Granted, there's not that many that it would get unless we count websites that got mobile ports like Facebook and You Tube of getting it as like a redirect or something. Which i am against
Given how complex some trope—work conflicts can get, I still think a Disambig/ namespace could work, but it's a low priority.
I had a dog-themed avatar before it was cool.I'd actually would really like to separate Trope/, Index/ and Disambig/ (the latter two should be easier as they're not supposed to be wicked) because people don't pay attention to pagetype and it's difficult to explain. Disambigs now being green kinda makes this argument weaker.
TroperWall / WikiMagic Cleanup
I brought up Swapnote before but I was told that Video Game/ was the closest namespace. Not sure how I feel about having an App: namespace.
