Come celebrate International Fanworks Day with us by taking part in our annual IFD Fanlore challenge!

From the 13th to 19th February, we're running an editing challenge with a different task to complete every day of the week. Each one comes with an awesome badge that you can add to your Fanlore User page or DW profile (or anywhere!) There's also a bonus challenge for anyone who wants to push their editing skills that bit more - you can complete either the regular or bonus task, or both, for a badge!

Never edited Fanlore before? That's okay - the first day's task is just to create an account! You can also check out our New Visitor Portal and Introductory Pages category for some help with getting your bearings.

Visit the challenge Help page for more pointers on taking part, or check out the list of editing tasks below:

Day 1 (Feb 13)

Challenge: Create a Fanlore account!
