The backrooms should have a separate article. It might already have one. It is not a creepypasta, so it would not fit on this page. BlazetheGame (talk) 19:11, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The Final Post . . .

Isn't it a little redundant to observe that "Ted the Caver" "has not been updated since the final post"? Isn't that the definition of "final"? I mean, if somebody updates Ted the Caver at 11:43, as of 11:44, no one will have updated the story since the final post. 65.51.145.131 (talk) 15:44, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "A Parallel Life / Awoken By A Lamp" story

A story has been shared frequently on reddit, originating here, that can certainly be considered a creepypasta, and in my opinion is notable enough to be included on the page, however it doesn't have an official title, and I don't know what to do in that case

some other places it has been shared, showing its spread https://creepypasta.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lamp

Should there be a page (or at least a section) dedicated to trollpastas?

Trollpastas are distinct from creepypastas, and I'd love to read an article about them. Unfortunately, Trollpasta redirects to Creepypasta. Can someone make an article (or a section) about trollpastas? Ideally, it'd be an article, but if you can't do that, do a section. ExplodingCreeper14 (talk) 21:51, 26 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

11 miles ritual

I don't know if there is more info about this creepypasta if there is I haven't seen it but I think there should be more info about this. 24.30.145.183 (talk) 18:13, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
