Fanlore Challenge: Stub September

[smarieru]

Stub September is a challenge for Fanlore editors and gardeners to pick a stub and expand on it. A stub is an article on Fanlore that is under-developed and missing important information. Right now, there are nearly 1800 existing pages on Fanlore that are already identified as stubs. You're invited to use the list and the index at the top of the page to find a page where you know something more and edit the page to add your new information. It's as simple as that.

In addition to the identified stubs, there are also pages that are missing specific examples to define or illustrate the page topic. This category, examples wanted, is much shorter and needs more specific information. If you know any examples, please just add them to the page.

In other words, Stub September is a good month to add more information to existing Fanlore articles. Have fun and good luck!

ETA: Feel free to post links to the articles you work on, whether it is updating a stub yourself or reviewing a stub and upgrading it to the examples wanted template. Comment here and let your editing colleagues know what you've been doing. We all want to share the experience when we're improving on Fanlore.

Hi Wiki! Claudia from Comms here. I came across this link through my alerts and wanted to ask if this is an event you'd like to publicize more widely? Do you want contributions from anyone or is this just an internal project?

This was my original suggestion and I'd say, yes, publicise it on OTW -- the wider the contribution base the better, and if we get people taking off stub tags that should remain, we can always just put them back!

I'll draft a post then, and ticky Wiki to take a look to add any corrections needed.

Hi Claudia,
no, this is not just an internal project, and it'd be great to have more people aware of it! I have to admit that I know little of what Comms does, so I didn't even think of talking to you guys. Maybe we could work something out so that in the future we can work together better :)

That would be great! If you'd like I would be glad to attend one of your meetings and talk a bit about what Comms does, can do, and can't do. My schedule is pretty flexible so just let me know what might work for you all.
