Article Stubs

I get the feeling that some people want to work on the wiki, but don't know where information should be added.

I propose making a CategoryStub (or maybe CategoryWanted) and creating a bunch of articles for people to fill in. Any opposed?

I agree with this. Check it off as requests are filled

Well, I've started CategoryStubs and added a few examples there: http://wiki.scorehero.com/CategoryStubs

Great idea. I started filling in the ghex stub. I'll work on it more later (hopefully).

Two things:

First, when you make a stub, you have to link it back to [[CategoryStubs]] or it's worthless.

Second, don't make a stub just because. I'm not sure why we have a "FretButton" article. I think stubs are better when you know the article is needed but don't have time to write it yourself.

Edit: Made something more obvious because people don't seem to get it.

This is a great idea rkcr. I've uploaded an article i wrote up to it, and will add anymore articles to it when I make more.

This is definitely needed so people will have a better idea of what they can do for the wiki. I went ahead and made stubs for most characters so people can help out with character pages. I know that info boxes should be available soon (if not already) so I think people should wait for those to work on the character articles, but I felt those articles should definitely be on the wiki and would be a good place to start making stubs (as you already started with your examples).
