A few news items from the Wiki Committee for you all.
First, users rightly pointed out that the Identity Protection policy page could be clearer about what to do when you have an identity protection issue (short answer:contact the committee!), so we added some bold text at the top of the page. The policy itself has not changed.
Second, the Archive of Our Own is hosting their second April Showers challenge to upload your old fanworks, especially from older fandoms that may be underrepresented on the archive. Each day will focus on a different fandom (announced via twitter, see also fanlore_news). As part of the challenge, we invite everyone to add their fandom memories to Fanlore. We will be hosting two editing chat sessions in the Fanlore chat room where you can ask questions about wiki editing.

The Wiki committee is currently planning and working on several projects, including forums and a mediawiki upgrade to fight spam.
Last weekend, the committee held two informal chats for our new members and gardeners, which we hope to turn into a regular event for anyone interested.
On Fanlore, editors have been very busy adding vids to several new categories, for example Supernatural vids, Battlestar Galactica vids, Buffy the Vampire Slayer vids, Angel vids, and Firefly vids. Other new categories with many pages already are Vidding Awards and The Professionals Fanfiction.
