Do not create new categories! If you feel that a category you have in mind would be a useful addition to this site, talk it up with an administrator.

Specific Category Rules

Trollpasta Cannot be added together with Bad Creepypasta, Not Sure if Troll or Trying to Be Serious, Bad Fanfiction, Dronik Pastas, Ghastly Macaroni, or Pre-Trollpasta.
Bad Creepypasta Cannot be added together with Not Sure if Troll or Trying to Be Serious, and Trollpasta.

Do not add this category to satirical stories or trollpastas.

Vidya games Cannot be added together with Pokemon, Mario, Minecrap, Sonic, Zel-DUUHHH, Roblox, or NINTENDO SIXTY-FOOOUR.
Minecrap Cannot be added together with File Extensions, and COMPUTERS AND INTERWEBZ.
Benjamin Cannot be added together with Zel-DUUHHH.
Lost Episodes Cannot be added together with TELAVISHUN.
EVIL FOOD Cannot be added together with Living Objects.
Pages with grammar that doesn't suck Cannot be added together with English Class Failure, and ENGLISH, MUDDAFUGGA! DO YOU SPEAK IT?!.
Im died Cannot be added together with Suicide, and Rocks Fall, Everybody Dies.
Cliche Madness Cannot be added together with I WAS AN INTERN AT, Hyper-realistic, Pointless Violence and YOU'RE NEXT.
Loads of Characters Cannot be added together with Jeff the Killer, PROOF DAT SLENDURMAN EXUSTS, Benjamin, EVIL PATRIXXX, and Look ma, it's one of those creepypasta characters!.
Ghetto Talk Cannot be added with Blatant Ripoffs and Excessive Profanity.
Well, that was pointless. Cannot be added together with Well, that was anticlimactic..
Old Shit This category is for pastas written during December 2012 and before. If a story was written in 2007 or before, it belongs in Pre-Trollpasta.

It cannot be added together with Pre-Trollpasta, Dronik Pastas, and Ghastly Macaroni.

Classics Cannot be added together with Hall of Fame.
MOTHER OF FUCK THIS PAGE IS LONG LIKE MY PAINIS Cannot be added together with Shortpasta. Do not use this category ironically, like putting it in a very short page.

This category can only be added to pastas that are around 20,000 bytes or more.

Memes Cannot be added together with Shrek, And then a skeleton popped out, Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air, and WHO WAS PHONE?.
Ghastly Macaroni Cannot be added together with ALL CAPS or SUGGESTED READING. (Though there are some exceptions).
Archive Cannot be added together with Meta.
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.)
