Two things I wanted to ask about and/or draw attention to:

1. We've been talking about moving LOTR RPF to a top-level page. The only question is how to represent the name. One vote for LOTRiPS, one for Lotrips. I've seen various capitalizations. But I was only in Lotrips for half a second (or a month?), so I wouldn't listen to me. More votes wanted!

1a. Speaking of which, the LOTR pages, not to mention the Doctor Who pages and the Star Wars pages, need to be reorganized. There's some discussion on the talk pages.

2. I've been looking through (and editing) the Help pages a lot lately. mrsvelvetears has been doing an excellent job of improving the language in the existing pages, but I think we need to add more pages to this namespace to document how we the editors have been handling certain topics in practice. There is a WIP help page already for Fandoms. I'd also like to have separate help pages for Characters, Pairings, Glossary terms and Fandom Glossaries, Fanworks, Lists, ...? These pages could be short or long and could include which template and categories to use, as well as naming conventions (to sub or not to sub), suggested headings and topics, and examples. There are some tips and discussion scattered throughout the wiki about these topics, but nowhere obvious. I'm willing to dive in, but would I be stepping on anybody's toes? Admittedly, it's a bit late in the game to ask, since I've already been editing the Help pages, but I thought I'd check in in case nobody had noticed....

I'm definitely in favor of making Lotrips a top level fandom. As other people have pointed out in those discussions, it really has functioned as a separate but related fandom to LotR, not just a minor subset or something.

And thank you very much for working on the Help pages!

Seems like everyone's spelling it Lotrips, so I guess that should be the name?

Sounds like you have more of a consensus on that than we had on many other issues. :) I just suggest LOTRiPS because I didn't want it to be Lord of the Rings RPS.
