Welcome to the February edition of the State of the Wiki. In this post, I will cover major events on the wiki from the end of January. I also will share what's to come here on South Park Archives for the rest of the month.


 * There's a lot of stuff going on with South Park Archives, so be sure to read the entire post!


 * After discussion, SpacemanDoug has been promoted to administrator and named an "Interim Administrator". He will officially be recognized as an administrator after hitting 1,000 edits. South Park Archives is looking for additional administrators. Users on SPA with over 1,000 edits get first priority but we also will not rule out admins from large wikis who could also join our team. We are looking for more administrators to help us manage the wiki, in addition to our current and awesome admin team.


 * We have introduced new rules and guidelines for our Discord users and users considering joining our Discord, including new verfication steps. Please read them Here


 * Congratulations to Harry Hart, our newest Discord Chat Mod!


 * Administrators will have a new set and rules to follow. In the interest of transparency, I will add a Google Doc link to them here for everybody to read once it's been created.


 * Our wiki projects are continuing, with our highly anticipated game project starting later this month! Look for lots more Phone Destroyer and Fractured But Whole content here!


 * Our Season 21 reassurance project has been completed, if you see something we missed feel free to create or add pages/ make an edit, or let us know! ALL Season 21 pages are open for general editing.


 * We are planning to add Featured Videos to the following pages: Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Wendy Testaburger, Butters Stotch , Randy Marsh , Gerald Broflovski , Sheila Broflovski , Tweek Tweak , Craig Tucker , You Have 0 Friends , Trapped in the Closet , Doubling Down and Kenny Dies bringing the total number of Featured Videos on the wiki from 2 to 15. The sucess of Featured Videos on SPA were mentioned by FANDOM staff in This blog post!


 * Finally, on a personal note, I recently became a FANDOM Community Council member! It's a pleasure to represent South Park Archives and the general FANDOM community as a council member and I'm looking forward to participating alongside my fellow council members and FANDOM Staff. If you'd like to find out more about the Community Council, you can see this link on Community Central.

 * Featured Episodes of the week will return in next month's State of the Wiki Post!


 * Season 21 Reassurance Project (January to February) - In this project, we'll address anything missed during Season 21 on the wiki. Like Songs, Characters and Locations/ Objects.
 * Wiki Article Updating and Cleanup (ON HOLD until April) - In this project, we'll do phase one of a long overdue project to update grammar in articles as well as the content of articles. Phase 1 will include updating the following Character articles: All Main, Major, Significant, 5-9th graders, School Faculty, 1st-3rd graders, and 4th graders (A through L). We'll also expand any stubs and clean up some other areas of the wiki.


 * Video Game Project (Mid February to Late March) - In this project, we'll work on adding new Fractured But Whole and Phone Destroyer content to the wiki, including missions, characters, locations and much more!


 * Wiki Article Updating and Cleanup Part 2 (Late March to Late May/ Summer 2018) - This project will cover the rest of the 4th graders and we also will give every character article from A-Z a look to see if anything needs to be updated, renamed, corrected or changed. We also will clean up/ fact check/ correct trivia pages, old talk pages, categories and other areas of the wiki (mostly behind the scene lines of code, sandbox pages, templates and forum posts). We will also make new articles during this time period if deemed necessary.
 * Behind The Scenes content (Summer 2018) - In the project, we'll add behind the scenes content to trivia pages and episode galleries (some BTS content may also be added to episode pages. The project also gives us a chance to see if any episode pages or content in them needs to be updated like episode plots.)
 * Episode Scripts Project/ Tabbed Infobox Project (Mid July to Late August) - We will finish long-standing projects on the wiki, like the Episode Scripts Project and Tabbed Infobox Project.
 * Season 22 Preparation Project (Late August to September) - By then, we'll be working on preparing the wiki for the NEXT season of South Park.
 * Keep in mind some of these projects may not exactly meet their due dates head on, but that's the goal here. These projects will cover a massive amount of pages, and the work may take longer than expected. (For example, both phases of our Wiki Article Updating and Cleanup project will cover over 1,174 articles and that's just character articles alone) so some delays are expected. All of these projects WILL be completed by the start of Season 22, however.
 * Have any questions on the projects planned or want to help? Feel free to send me a message on My Wall.
