Edit counts!

[lian]

Inofficial post is unofficial and curious.

I only very occasionally add stuff to Fanlore, but I used to be a heavy editer back in the day. So it idly occured to me to check my edit count: I've never done that before, but apparently it's right there under "My preferences".

Turns out my edit count is 1,208. Hmmm... honestly, I have no idea whatsoever whether that's meagre? average? creditable? (I thought it was more, tbh, seeing as I do tons of silly little typo edits etc.)


Indulge me -- what's your edit count? And how does it compare to your expectations? Any anecdotes you want to share?

Though one plan that I feel has been successful is for me to document things as they happen in areas I care about or see a lot of.

That's a good plan. :)

The lack of Tumblr sites is another area I'd like to have more brains to document.

Just making short pages with the name, link, general description and a screencap is usually enough. The more pages you make, the more stuff turns up that you can add to the other pages you've made.

I never even thought of screencapping -- I am going to own at documenting the Texts From Last Night stuff that I have bookmarked now :)

Yes, documenting the big events in your fandom -- even if it's just a stub of links that somebody can click on (however I notice Webcite is not working well, so this makes me worry for link rot) is definitely helpful.

I am hoping that WebCite will be back online soon (I'll give it a week after Labor Day). I've decided that I need to link to the actual page, with WebCite as a backup (I had been lazy and was only using WebCite for unstable pages - now I'll use both).

I am going to test Zotero today as a means of organizing snapshots of webpages.
