If you read all that, thank you very much. I hope this was helpful and not just a wiki-ramble. I am looking forward to hopefully expanding our coverage on the wiki. [[User:Chubby Potato|Chubby Potato]] [[User talk:Chubby Potato|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 11:43, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

: I find myself fully agreeing with Chubby Potato on pretty much everything. One very important thing that he mentioned and that I feel is particuarly important is that there are a number of things currently classed as short stories that really aren't. Yes, they have a narrative, but often only if you squint a bit in an attempt to make it valid. I've certainly found myself [[John Smith's Google Maps reviews (short story)|guilty of this at times]]. I feel that, if it's not very clearly a short story in the standard definition of the term, we should give some serious consideration as to whether it's actually a "feature". It's worth noting that not everything neatly fits into the categories of "narrative short story" and "non-narrative feature". There are some large grey areas and this is particuarly why I feel that the concept of narrativity should be removed from the wiki as a whole.
