progress!

Sometimes it's easy to forget just how far we've come and how much progress we've made at Fanlore.

When I first started adding things to/editing Fanlore in July 2009, we didn't even have categories. None. Not for anything.

And, there was ONE template for ALL fanworks.

It looked like this:

{{Fanwork
|fanworktitle=
|creator=
|dates=
|medium=
|fandom=
|externallinks=
}}

These are some of the templates we have now: http://fanlore.org/wiki/Category:Infoboxes.
Here are the categories: http://fanlore.org/wiki/Special:Categories.

All volunteers have worked long and hard on at making Fanlore better and better: gardeners, committee members, and editors, editors, editors!

Anyone who's added an entry, tweaked an entry, contributed a few sentences or a whole lot more, those who've emailed with suggestions, scolded Fanlore, praised Fanlore, it's all been absorbed and used to improve our fan wiki.

We've come a long way!

I and a few other fans have been having a blast adding to this Category:
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Category:Vids

Somehow very satisfying to see the vids from your favorite fandoms grow into their own SubCategory. When we started, I think only Merlin and SGA vids had their own SubCategory

Oh man, I need to get on that too.
