PLZ DELETE THIS NOW KTHX	Do not add this category to pastas already tagged with Old Shit, Archive, Classics, or Dronik Pastas
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT	Use sparingly. Due to the nature of trollpastas, it's easy for them to dabble in some very strange territory, so this category should only be reserved for pastas with the weirdness cranked up to 11 or if they cause a visceral "WTF" reaction.
YT Readings	Only add to pages that contain linked or embedded YouTube narration(s) from someone other than HoodoHoodlum, MichaelLeroi, retsupurae, SomeOrdinaryGamers or Yuriofwind. (Note: as long as this requirement is met, none of these six categories are actually mutually exclusive. For example, if a pasta has a narration from SOG and another narration from someone without their own dedicated category, you may add both Read by SOG and YT Readings to that pasta.)
