Just as some wrap-up on the Kiwi Farms thing. This feels like a place where everyone agreed so fast that we're probably doing some practices totally wrong.
I have a suspicion that everything in Category:Website needs a bit of a look to see if it's in compliance with our policy. Pages like [[4chan]] and [[8chan]] don't really have anything about creative content, but it wouldn't hurt to document the rare pepes and creepypasta discovered there. Fundamentally, website is not really a category of things we want to index. What we do want is:
* Sites that distribute creative content, like TV networks or publishers do, such as AO3.
* Sites that are essentially tropes of their own, like the Twitter Rant.
* Collaborative fiction that happens primarily on forums and Tumblr and formerly(?) Livejournal
* Sites where the website is the medium for the creation, like Time Cube or Ted Cruz for Human President
And I'm not sure we quite have the proper categories for that. Of course I was never really happy with "Web Original" and "New Media" either. I mean, it's been 400 years and we still have the "novel", and here we are doing the same thing again.
We also might want to explicitly name some things as on-topic in the ATT:ONTOPIC section
* Tropes in fiction
* Works of fiction and creative nonfiction
* Publishers/networks that distribute creative works
* Creators, writers, actors, and artists
