K, I'll move it there. Can we change it so the name is just "The Wall Will fall" not "Web Video: The Wall Will Fall"?

Yes, but that's for browser games.


Web Original seems to cover most of the bases...

Oh, right. Must be doing some moves.

Well maybe we should just stick with web video for now and move it at a later date? The Wall Will Fall really does seem to be cross medium.

Couldn't they just make a namespace for ARGs? It's not like there is but a handful of them. :evil: Namespaces are Serious Business.

Just FYI guys, the reason I created this thread was to manipulate you into NOT using the discussion section so that I do not now have to keep ANOTHER page open to *ahem* keep tabs on what's happening.
Normal people are the easiest to manipulate. Too smart and they have an annoying tendency to catch wind of your plans, too dumb and, in the words of a certain pirate, "You can never tell when they are about to do something incredibly...stupid."

It's not another page, it's on the ARGs trope page. And we've already started using it XD

So I noticed, and so now I have to check THAT too. Gee thanks people.

The best that we have right now is Web Games. It's at least slightly better than Web Video.

Pretty sure that section title appears regardless of what you do unless it's in the Main namespace. I certainly haven't seen anything where it doesn't.

I'm guessing since there are so many of them, they will be split up in subcategories like Web Games and Web Videos. So it can't go in Web Originals anymore, and it doesn't fit in any subcategory. I vote for creating a whole new namespace.

Well, we do have namespaces for monsters like Harry Potter... So there is a precedent. But regarless of not fitting in the current ones, our page is rather tiny... Is it viable to create a namespace in this case? Also, we should probably index it somewhere.

If it IS possible to create namespaces, we should make one for ARGs. The namespaces are divided by mediums, and ARG is a distinct medium type. Exactly why I'm surprised we don't have it.

Well, looking here, I can see plenty of one page Namespaces.
Also, there's Manga, Manhwa and Manhua. Why there is no ARG remains a mystery. I just didn't find info on how to create these yet...

Do they spawn into existence if you just create a page behind one?

Don't know how to try. But, I've found a problem already. Main/Manga is a namespace. I does not redirect to any page.
Main/ARG is the trope page for Alternate Reality Game... So I belive we'd have to scrap that page to make the namespace, moving it behind the new namespace... This is already beyond my knowledge of the wiki tools.

You wouldn't need the /Main. That's already a namespace. You need to make it /ARG or something instead.

I know how to move a page without deleting things, if we can make a new namespace, I'll move it.

Compare this link for the /Manga to this link for the /ARG. I think this means we don't need to create the Namespace, just move the page behind it. If so we could move TWWF there without messing with the other pages for now.
