Stub September - Relationships

[fanloremod]

Thank you again to everyone who has participated in Stub September so far, and to everyone who attended our editing party!

The theme this week is relationships!

This encompasses pairings, threesomes and moresomes, and gen relationships. Some examples of relationship pages that are currently stubs include:

• Anthy/Utena (Revolutionary Girl Utena)
  
• Ariadne/Arthur/Eames (Inception)
  
• Arthur/Gwen (Merlin)
  
• Count x Albert (Gankutsuou)
  
• Duncan Keith/Brent Seabrook (Hockey RPF)
  
• Jack/Ianto (Torchwood)
  
• Kawoshin (Neon Genesis Evangelion)
  
• Noah/Luke (As The World Turns)
  
• Poison Ivy/Harley Quinn (DC Comics)

and many more! Feel free to browse the stubs, pages that need expansion, and examples wanted categories for other pages that need work.


New editor? See the Intro to Fanlore FAQ, Help:Editing pages, and the formatting cheatsheet for the basics of wiki editing.

Please keep in mind that Fanlore is a wiki about fandom, not canon. A brief overview of relevant canon background information is welcome and encouraged, but the focus of the page should be about fans' engagement with the relationship. Some ideas to get you started:

• How popular is the relationship within fandom? How often is it explored in fanworks or meta?
  
• How has interest in the relationship changed over time, e.g. with the development of canon?
  
• Are there any notable (e.g. historically relevant, hugely popular) fanworks for the relationship?
  
• Are there any common trends or tropes in fanworks featuring the relationship?
  
• Is there any widespread fanon about the relationship?
  
• Have there been any significant meta discussions, controversies, or ship wars about the relationship?
  
• Are there any websites, communities, or other online resources dedicated to the relationship?

See the help article on relationship pages for more information. There is also a sample pairing page template that you may find useful, but it is not necessary to follow its structure.

For lists of all relationship articles on Fanlore, see Category:Relationships.



We've gotten some questions about how to search within the Stubs category, and yes, there is a trick!

If you include the term "incategory:Stubs" in your search (i.e., in the search bar at the top-right of any Fanlore page), it will only bring up pages from Category:Stubs. For example, you can search "femslash incategory:Stubs" to find all stubs that contain the word "femslash".

Alternatively, you can search within another category for the term "stub". For example, "stub incategory:Harry_Potter_Relationships" finds stubs in Category:Harry Potter Relationships, and "stub incategory:Moresomes" finds stubs in Category:Moresomes. (Note that "incategory" does not search a category's subcategories.)

See Help:Searching for more information.


Check back next week for a new theme! If you have any questions, feel free to comment on this post or to email the Fanlore Gardeners. We also would love to hear about your contributions to the challenge so far in the comments below. Happy editing!
