All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XVI

[robkelk]

I just had a thought...

Category:Source says in part:

Works distributable under free content licenses such as fanfiction with clearly defined licenses may also be put on these pages, but must contain clear copyright notices for whatever license applies to the work on every page.

I know of one work that qualifies under that description - this very forum is named after it - but it's written by an admin who isn't me so I don't know whether I should post it to ATT.

You could just ask, you know...

I have no problems with DW and its affiliated works being posted to the wiki, as long as they're kept up to date and I'm not the one responsible for it. <grin>

I was all set to start this, then I noticed this comment of mine from a couple of years ago. On one hand, the reasoning in that thread still applies. On the other hand, that was a comment about works being written on ATT, not works written elsewhere that have existing Work pages. On the gripping hand, there have been Work pages for things that hadn't actually been written (and probably had the words "pretty" and "cure" in their titles), so a blanket rule would have to be phrased very carefully.

So... Do we accept fan works as Source subpages, or not? Completed works only, maybe?
