The next project to take the stage is Project Stubs. There are many articles on the wiki that while look very good now, are still lacking in information. The worst of these are the episode pages. I am going through and formatting any incomplete articles so that all pages have a consistent look, however there is much information lacking from them which I cannot fill on my own.
These pages that are pre-formatted have been added to the Article Stubs category, to highlight to everyone that they require immediate attention. Information lacking can come in the form of written words as well as a lack of pictures in their galleries. All articles added here are in correct formatting and simply require the addition of information and/or pictures.
How you can help: Add missing information and/or pictures to any article stubs! If you wish to bring a current article to scratch which isn't yet listed or marked as a stub, you can copy the formatting style from a similar article in order to format the page yourself and carry through the consistent look on the wiki, as well as then add in the necessary information.
Please Don't: Create new articles yet- I'm laying down category and template foundations in the background at the moment which will assist in the creation of new articles to come in the next project.
I'm Currently Working On: Episode pages.
A look to the future: Once the foundations are down and a plan is set to structure how articles can interlink and be categorised, new articles can begin to be created.
Along with this, I will be setting down structures and categories for images, which will allow people to link these in to crew, gear and character pages which will help ease the stress of filling individual picture galleries- all individual pictures will essentially be linked together and accessible from one or more particular pages, meaning the addition of a massive gallery of pictures will involve the addition of only one small link! Exciting stuff
Other smaller projects will involve the formatting of character, gear and crew pages to include a consistent format across the wiki, much like the Episode pages are currently receiving.

I wonder if the forum should host a DB server? Not sure how lively that would be haha
