Happy Fourth Birthday WCPedia! (August 11, 2011)

[Dundradal]

?In three years we?ve uploaded almost 1,100 content articles, uploaded 700 files, made 10,600 edits and had over 1.3 million views.? - August 10, 2010

What a year the last one has proven to have been! WCPedia?s growth was well beyond my expectations because of the hard work of a group of dedicated and determined wingnuts. WCPedia now has over 2,700 content articles. It smashes our goal of 2,200 articles by more than 500! KrisV has been hard at work moving the CIC's Downloads section into WCPedia. Wingnuts can now find all the CIC's hosted files and others in the WCPedia Downloads category. We've already got more than 3,500 files uploaded and organized. We?ve made more than 27,000 edits and had more than 2.5 million views! Those numbers more than double where we were last year. The amount of information now available on WCPedia is astounding.

In the coming year WCPedia will continue to expand in a variety of ways to help improve the community?s ability to access information. WCPedia will become, without question, the greatest Wing Commander resource ever assembled. Our goal in the next year is to hit the same number of articles as the range of the laser cannon, 4,800. We are always looking for more contributors and this year we've asked NinjaLA to help spur involvement with our very own recruitment posters.

I was actually going to do two of these and I got sort of obsessive about the first.. sorry about the delay folks! I'll get the other one done soon, I promise!

Well it's hard not to love the first one! The Bloodfang looks fantastic!

With the addition of the Standoff guide to WCPedia I've created a special category where all fan-related content will be stored. This means if you have a fan project that you'd like to have a historical archive of on WCPedia, contact me and I can help set things up.

The fan area can be found here: https://www.wcnews.com/wcpedia/Category:Fan_Content_Area

This also means if you weren't sure where to help with some the main stuff, but say like UE a lot and want to document its canon on WCPedia, by all means let me know!

We really need the community's help this year to reach our goal of 4,800 articles. So if you'd like to help, PM/Start a Conversation (still getting used to that one...) me or drop by #wingnut.
