Fanlore:News/2023
December 25, 2023Join Fanlore's end-of-year editing chat! To celebrate the end of the year we're holding an editing chat over on our Discord server this Friday, December 29 at 1200am UTC! (What time is that for me?) What is an "editing chat"? It’s a real-time chat over text where everyone works on doing some Fanlore editing, usually themed around pages of a certain topic. There's no requirement to have edited Fanlore before, as we're happy to show you the ropes! We'll also have a list of suggested pages for anyone who isn't sure what to edit. The focus will be creating and adding to pages related to minor characters and rarepairs – characters, ships, events, meta essays, and much more. If you're passionate about expanding Fanlore’s coverage of a particular minor character or rarepair, or want to learn more about them, come on by! We'd love you to come along and take part. All participants will also earn a cool badge to post to their Fanlore user page! Use this link to join our Discord server, and we'll see you there for the chat! |

If this is your first time editing Fanlore, you can also check out our New Visitor Portal and tutorial pages to learn how to get started. And if you’d like to mingle with the other guests before, during, and after the event, feel free to join our Discord server, where you can chat with other Fanlore folks and ask any questions you may have!
