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!

It is so exciting to see how Fanlore expanded over the years. It makes me really look forward to where the wiki can go in the future.

It also makes me want to go and edit and add stuff because wow, being a part of this <33333
