Fanlore:Wish List
|
|
Please edit this page to add topics or specific pages to the list that you would like to see on the wiki. New editors (and anyone else) who want to add content to the wiki, but don't know where to start, can check this list and start on anything that tickles their fancy.
If you'd like to add to the discussion on this page, please sign your comments by typing ~~~~ at the end of what you type. This will add a date stamp and will also link to your User and Talk pages.
If you're new to Fanlore, start by creating an account! You can then follow these links to find more information about editing pages and creating new pages (note that you won't be able to create a page until you have had your user account for at least 4 hours).
For more about getting started on Fanlore, check out our new user tutorial, New Visitor Portal, or Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
- A complete list of wanted pages (automatically generated based on number of internal links) can also be found at Wanted pages.
- A list of the pages that are stubs needing fleshing out can be found at Category:Stubs.
- A list of the pages that are bigger than stubs but still need some adding to can be found at Category:Pages that need expansion.
- A list of short pages (mostly stubs) needing expansion can also be found here Short Pages
Maintenance
This section contains tasks that don't require any particular fannish knowledge but are still necessary and any help would be appreciated!
- Orphaned Pages: Orphaned Pages are pages that no one links to. Imagine how lonely they must be! But more importantly, it means that unless someone types in the exact title, they're unlikely to find the page. You can un-orphan a page by adding an internal link back to that page on a different page.
- Uncategorized Pages and Uncategorized Files: All pages and files should belong to at least one category (or more, if there are more than one relevant categories). Subpages should have any relevant categories from their parent page.
- Dead-end pages: Dead end pages don't have any links to other pages within them, meaning anyone who browses there is in grave danger of escaping Fanlore! Don't let this happen.
- Categories: If the number of entries in a category = 1, check to see if there is a different version (spelling, etc.) of the same category that has a larger number of members, then edit the entry and fix it if it needs to be changed.
- Sorting: Use defaultsort to change the sort of fandoms beginning with 'The' or 'A'. Please make sure that people and characters (but not fans) are set to sort "Lastname, Firstname" if they have a last name. For more information about defaultsort, refer to the Editing Cheatsheet.
Pages that need more international focus
Use this section to add any pages that are lacking in a worldwide range of perspectives. For instance, if you know that fans in one part of the world have a specific take on a trope or genre, or that a ship is popular or controversial among fans from a particular country, and this isn't documented on Fanlore, this is the place to come for help, advice and input!
If there are gaps on a page concerning regions with a lot of fan activity about that topic, post about it here! This is also a good place to add pages containing material that needs to be translated into English. We also have Template:TranslationRequest which you are welcome to add to the page or Talk page.
Contributions from international fans are welcome and encouraged! Your additions do not need to be in perfect English, and broad information about how the subject of a page is perceived in different parts of the world does not necessarily need to have a documented source.
- The Untamed and Mo Dao Zu Shi - would be great to have much more info on Chinese fandom (as well as more info in general...)
- Slash Controversies - this article is very heavily US-focused. There is definitely a lot of material that I'm sure could be drawn from other parts of the world around slash-as-controversy - and some non-western fandom examples would be great too. I remember the "this story contains SLASH! don't like, don't read!" disclaimers in anime fandom all too well... enchantedsleeper (talk) 21:40, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- Webnovels ! In particular, I know the big chinese websites allow you to comment on specific lines - leading to fans riffing off particular lines in the novel, such that the experience of reading the book is also shaped by the comments you see directly alongside the text. Plus there are a lot of popular webnovels that frequently become popular manhua/manhwa or animations - The King's Avatar and MXTX's works are the ones I know but there are a lot more...
Infrastructure-ish Page Wish
- Some kind of What should we (re)name x page? page, where fl editors can more easily/centrally brainstorm ideas together about what to name or rename certain pages might be really handy. (See User_talk:Facetofcathy#Name_the_Page)
- This has been implemented in the form of the Help: Naming Conventions Talk page, which we cleared off the older discussions from so that it could serve as a more centralised discussion point. Please feel free to bring any general page naming questions to this page! --enchantedsleeper (talk) 12:54, 19 February 2021 (UTC)
- A general discussion page where concerns and suggestions can be discussed and questions about the site can be asked.
- Should we have templates/standardizations not just for infoboxes, but for pages in general? Like for what kind of sections and subsections should be called
- While there's no requirement to use any specific sections for a given page, we've started making some template pages for different page types (e.g. Character, Fan, Vid pages, etc.) that people can copy and paste and then fill in the sections. The list can be found here: Help:Starting a new page#First, a template --enchantedsleeper (talk) 22:29, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
- Informally, for Fans I've been using a combination of the infoboxes and then a template for the rest of the page that I created (I do a lot of work on the X-Project wiki and templates are critical there for avoiding mess). See Tapestry (ficwriter) or Dr. Benway for an idea of how it looks. Rossi (talk) 20:37, 2 March 2023 (UTC)
- Could we have a template like Wikipedia does, which links to a performer, film, series, etc. listing on the IMDb?
- Can the mobile site get the side bar updated to include links to the new visitor portal, editing cheatsheet, and some of the other links that are on the desktop sidebar? Right now on mobile finding those pages is kinda hard since it requires searching the site for them without knowing they exist if you are a new visitor
Wishes
This section contains a wish list for fannish topics that either do not have adequate coverage on Fanlore or are not yet represented here at all.
NOTE: You may also want to check the subpages:
Fanlore in Colo(u)r
The focus will be creating and adding to pages related to fans and fandom of color – characters, communities, events, activism, meta essays, and much more.
Both characters and fans of color are often overlooked in fandom spaces—please help to expand their presence on Fanlore. Pages have recently been added on AfricanFuturism, Afrofuturism, Africanjujuism, Asianfuturism, and some African clubs and fans/authors.

Zines
Science Fiction Zines
(Zines with years are Hugo Award nominees and/or winners for that year)
Comic Zines
(see My Comic Shop.com for assistance!)
Fangames
Needs expansion: Game mods, and how game company reactions vary. (Some accept them; some love them; some do everything they can to squelch them.)
May need a video game equivalent to the Professional Author Fanfic Policies page; however, unlike authors, game companies rarely issue clear statements on their opinion on fan game activities. Also, legal copyright status of those is much blurrier.
There's a lot of room to talk about this in the Pokémon fandom, which has a long history of ROM hacks, fangames, and a (more recent history?) of having those fan games shut down by Nintendo.
Pages for popular MLP creepypasta games like Dreamy Rainbow?
TCGs
Not seeing much on LiveJournal and fan-made TCGs (Trading Card Games). TCG? Most of them are inactive/deleted, but here is some links:
- Tcg Wiki - most comprehensive wiki on them
- Through the Fire - Buffy
- Moonlight Legends - Sailor Moon
- Geronimo - Doctor Who
- Idolise - K-Pop
- Novella - Books

- Violence and Fandom - about violence committed by fans in a way directly related to them being a fan, such as celebrity stalking and harming, shooting by those in the True Crime Community
Conflicts
This section is for fandom wank or imbroglios that aren't adequately covered.
Need more coverage:
Pages that need to be created:
- Lesbophobia in Fandom
- Feminism and Fandom
- Photomatt twitter fight/general problesm; fans migrating off tumblr (see Tumblr section below)
- Star Wars Theory, Nerdrotic, The Critical Drinker, Geeks and Gamers, and other members of the so-called "Fandom Menace".
- Cosplay and Cultural Appropriation or Race and Cosplay. Don't know what the page should be called, but neither Race and Fandom or Cosplay discuss the cosplay related wank around cosplaying people of a different skin color, cosplays that are seen as 'disrespectful' to otehr cultures, or hijabi cosplays. Like the discussion briefly covered on [[51]]
Shipwars that could use expansion (see also Category:Shipwars):
Minors in Fandom - A recent discussion as of 2017, brought by Voltron: Legendary Defender fandom discourse and expanding generally. Could overlap with Fan Age and Fandom. Example essays/posts:
Generally concerning behavior:
- expansion on Cultiples and related pages (Panopticon (fan), Draven, Tristan Grey)
Feedback
Fanfiction Writers and Feedback - Specifically comments, plus conjoining discussions of comparing fanfiction and fan art (?), and commenting etiquette. Perhaps focus on recent discussion as well as how platform (Tumblr & AO3 (2012-2017) vs LJ (2004-2012)) has affected this. Example essays/posts:
- Passively devouring content is killing fandom.
- Fill in the Blank Fanfic Comment
- on fanfiction commenting
- how to comment on fanfiction
- it's so important to give fanfiction writers feedback
- i don’t think people really get how little feedback fanfic authors actually get?
- I love giving and receiving fic reviews
- I write fanfic because I enjoy it
- on the subject of tumblr’s shortcomings as a fandom platform
- a lot of y’all treat fic writers like shit
- Comment on fics you like, guys

MDZS Fandom Wank
There's some pretty notable MDZS fandom wank that may need pages, including:
- Canon Dynamics Only (Sex position wank - I think this is prominent enough in Wangxian fandom to need its own page)
- Not sure how to put this delicately, but in late 2021 there was a pretty large wank between jelenedra, quigonejinn, and pumpkinpaix that resulted in a "diaspora statement" from various Chinese diaspora fans here
- The Danmei Diaspora Creators community? Started as a Discord server in response to the wank above
- nirejseki 2022 wank
- Jiang Cheng wank; many Jiang Cheng fan accounts on Twitter hate Wei Wuxian, many WangXian fan accounts on Twitter hate Jiang Cheng, they were constantly at odds with each other particularly during 2021-2022, having arguments in whether WWX should have donated his golden core, if it made him a good or bad person for doing so, if Jiang Cheng should've been the protagonist or WWX's love interest, etc.
- There is also general wank among some non-Chinese/English-speaking fans who refer to themselves as "MXTX Critical" and don't condone the "problematic elements" in her work, such as WangXian having a rape kink and the translated interview of her saying that her couples' sex position tend to be fixed and that they shouldn't be broken up or changed. Some fans believe this sort of attitude to be racist and ethnocentric (race and fandom, maybe?) These fans are a little more commonly found on Tumblr in my experience, though I'm sure they can also be found on Twitter.
- Maybe the interview can have its own page or portion on MXTX's page, as it has been the subject of a lot of fannish debate.
- Cop Lan Wangji
Fandoms

- Template:PersonProfile
- Add [[Category:Anime & Manga Fandom]]
- Remember to describe their impact on fans, not just the industry.
If the page you want to add is not listed on a "List of" page, just add it to the appropriate category. Many of those pages are still woefully incomplete.
If you want a bigger challenge:
- Cosplay ~~is currently a short page,~~ has been expanded, but much cosplay-related materials are under Category:Costuming or Category:Gaming & Role Playing. There is no template for specific photo-sets or performances. You could request a template, ~~as well as a separate category,~~ if you wanted to tackle that topic. [EDIT: Category:Cosplay exists now, but individual pages may need to be moved into it.] Do we want an infobox template for cosplay? Request templates at Category_talk:Infoboxes.
- Fansub and scanlation into languages other than English or in areas outside the U.S./Canada need a lot of work. If you're having trouble figuring out where to add that information, come check in on the talk pages.
- J-Drama, K-Drama, and TW-Drama could use many more series and general information. SG-Drama, HK-Drama, and C-Drama don't even have pages and categories yet.
- We need pages for Fan Dub, Manga Music Video, MAD, MMD, and possibly Anime Story Music Video, as well as pages on others terms and elements of video-related culture.
- Category:J-Pop Fandom, Category:J-Rock Fandom, and Category:K-Rock Fandom are tiny and need lots of work. Category:K-Pop Fandom is bigger but could still use some love.
- Category:Games is very small still.
- Visual Novels and other video-based games need their own pages. Use Template:FandombyText.
- Text-based RPGs also need their own pages. Check with the Games people on what templates and categories to use.
- Category:Gaming & Role Playing has some gaming-related terms and could use expansion.
- Know of any debates/discussions within a community, especially large, complicated, or highly visible ones? Those can get their own pages!
- Category:Fandom Occurrences (for wanks, imbroglios, etc.) or Category:Discussion (for discussion communities, histories of long-term discussions, debates, etc.)
- Template:EventProfile or Template:Activity
- Add [[Category:FANDOMNAME]], replacing FANDOMNAME with the fandom the debate or discussion happened in; OR add [[Category:Anime & Manga Fandom]] if it was a broader community debate.
- Vocaloid fandom needs lots of love, especially with pages pertaining to individual voices, like Hatsune Miku or Kaito.
Anime and Manga Fandoms That Need Expansion/Additional Pages
NOTE: If you just want to request general attention/expansion of the fandom (or pages within a fandom category), then add the fandom here. If you have more specific requests, go ahead and make a fourth-level header for it among the other fandoms below (alphabetize by first letter of the header).
- Attack on Titan: The fandom is enormous and the main page is well-covered, but there are almost no ship and character pages.
- Boku no Hero Academia: Needs more examples of Fanworks / Fan events; create more ship pages (see List of BNHA Relationship Names).
- Bleach: needs character pages for basically everyone not named Rukia or Orihime.
- Bungou Stray Dogs: Pretty large fandom; needs expansion.
- Chihayafuru: Needs expansion: canon overview, fandom overview/history, fan activities, character and ship pages, etc.
- D.Gray-man: Could use pages for major pairings
- Haikyuu: see also FanloreProject:Haikyuu
- Litchi Hikari Club: page was created in February 2018 but has minimal content and no links. Needs all the things!
- Mei-chan no Shitsuji (aka Mei-Chan's Butler): page was created in 2009 but only has links to fanfiction archives. Needs canon and fandom expansion.
- Mieruko-chan: page was created in 2022 but only has links to fanfiction archives. Needs canon and fandom expansion.
- One Piece: Should we have a page about the debate over the treatment of women in One Piece? I'm actually not that into the OP fandom but I've heard the edges of this discussion, particularly in this interview with Oda from this summer where Oda claims that he doesn't really care if female readers have a problem with his perverted characters. [EDIT: see talk page]. Also a page for the brother's relationship Ace, Sabo and Luffy.
- Osomatsu-san: Page needs to be created: ships, reputation among anime fandom, etc.
- PreCure: Page needs to be created and have spiels for every series thus far. It would be ideal because the ship of Nozomi/Coco from Yes PreCure 5 is referenced on the Bad Ships Project or whatever it was called. Fanart was done for it as part of the iniative to give problematic ships love. Also, its a long running series with shoutouts in other franchises (was parodied in one of the Alola episodes of Pokémon and is an important entry in the magical girl genre pre-dating Madoka.
- The Promised Neverland: There should probably be a page dedicated to the controversy surrounding the character Krone, who was a pretty racist depiction of a black woman. EDIT: See Talk Page
- Shin Megami Tensei (Series):None of the individual games have pages, so lots of love is needed there; more information about fandom is needed as well.
- Toonami

Comics
A general article on (Western) comics fandom would be useful. At the moment, it's a disambiguation which gets linked all over the place.

Disney Channel movies or shows pages that need expansion:

Ride pages that need expansion:
Video game pages that need creation:
Doctor Who
- pages that need expanded fandom and fanworks examples: River Song
- also need pages for old school Who companions. See Classic Who
- More info on the various fan clubs and fan events, especially during the Wilderness years
- Doctor Who Am I, Doctor Who Fan Film Series, Doctor Who: The Fan Show, T.R.A.C.E.
Firefly
Show page could use more sample/notable fanworks. Most character pages need more fandom, pretty please. Adding some placeholder bits of canon info and obvious stuff like Idol Reflections/Ship Manifesto essays if they exist just to have something, but no idea about other notable meta on the characters or notable fanworks. If anyone who's actually been fannish about the show can add more fandom info to balance pages out that'd be lovely.
- For example there's a bunch of mailing list redlinks on Firefly main page
- Some crossover fics (taken from here): A Life Less Extraordinary ([52]), Browncoat, Green Eyes ([53]), Forward (Firefly story) ([54]), Lost In The Woods ([55]), My Own Kind of Freedom by Stephen Brust ([56], [57], [58]); more here from epic_recs, Archived version
- fic author: MalforPrez
Free!
- Ship pages for Rei/Nagisa, and possibly Sousuke/Makoto.
- Maybe discuss the Rin/Haru and Makoto/Haru ship war on the fandom page?
- Also the sharkbaitshipping wank with YGO:Zexal fandom.
- Future Earth, Future Sky is a notable Sousuke/Makoto fic which generated a lot of fan discussions and can probably use its own page.
Game of Thrones
Characters that still need pages: Tywin Lannister, Petyr Baelish, Olenna Tyrell, Tormund Gaintsbane
Character pages that need expansion: Ramsay Snow
Gundam franchise
- Gundam 00 - Page exists as of now, but I wasn't able to finish it and would appreciate help.
- Mobile Suit Gundam - i.e., the original series
- Iron Blooded Orphans
- Witch from Mercury -- page itself is looking pretty good but there's a lot of character redlinks that could be created on the page.
Harry Potter
- Many character pages and pairing pages are still stubs or need to be fleshed out. Most of the main characters' pages need some clean-up.
- Characters and pairings with redlinks on List of Harry Potter Pairing Names need to be created.
- Other characters not on that list include Dolores Umbridge (needs expansion) and Nagini (stub).
- More Harry Potter archives and communities could use pages.
- Fan reaction and fandom surrounding Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and Fantastic Beasts are needed.
- Typical hp fic tropes/mentions: Azkaban (stub); see also FanloreProject:Harry Potter Fanfiction Tropes
- Master of Death??
- A Brief Look at Harry Potter [59] by Lily Simpson
- Harry Potter in Calcutta
- Updating because I didn't realize this page begins to cover the common racebending I see in HP fandom, would love to see more of the tumblr discourse on Indian HP:
Heroes
- Pairing Pages Needing Expansion: Nathan/Peter and Peter/Claire
- Pairing Pages Needing to Be Created: Claire/Nathan, Peter/Sylar, Claire/Sylar, Hiro/Charlie
- Create character pages
- There are some Heroes vid pages, but other fanworks are needed.
- Other archives, fanfiction, and websites need pages.
Homestuck
See also ‘’FanloreProject:Homestuck’’
- There are plenty of fanworks that deserve their own pages.
- Something about the history of MSPA Forum Adventures would be great.
- A couple of really prevalent Homestuck-specific genres and/or AU categories might benefit from mentions, such as (feel free to add):
Inception
Pretty much all pairing and character pages need more content. But listing out:
Adding more fanworks and creators would be great too.
Kpop
See FanloreProject:K-Pop.
- There a a bunch of stubs for bands, but very little info about the fandom or fans. Needs the perspective of someone active in the fandom (are there any Kpop fans on Fanlore?) This is a longshot, but more info about the Korean fandom would be awesome.
Live Action Film & TV Shows
Condensing the section on this page that just link to a fandom with no further detail:
- Caprica: need ships, meta and more general detail

- Marked Monarchs in the Newsies fandom? i keep coming across their stuff
- Carrie: The Musical fandom, reminded by this large fan resource
- Evil Dead: The Musical
My Little Pony
Mythology
Mythology fandom could use its own page. Greek and Norse mythology have their own categories but they're pretty barebones; the same goes for Celtic Mythology.
Greek Mythology Pages:

- Cassandra (Greek mythology)

- Other: Kishimoto Masashi, Anti-Naruto Ending,narutoforums.org, and tentatively Boruto although we'll have to discuss what the fandom categorization overlap should be there.
Object Show Community
See FanloreProject:ObjectShowCommunity.
- Including Battle for Dream Island, Inanimate Insanity, etc... summary of the "genre," make a basic timeline, note the more popular shows, creators, fans, events, etc.
- This would be extremely difficult, but it could list every object show ever made, but that could be a long term goal.
Phantom of the Opera
Characters:
Pairings:
Canons:
Fans:
Communities:
Podcasts
- The overall Podcast page exists, but the history section needs expansion
- It would be useful to have a glossary page for Post-Mortem Episode

Nonfiction
- FiveThirtyEight

Fannish Podcasts
It would be useful to have an expansion on official fannish podcasts created by the PTB (example: The Good Place The Podcast) vs. fan-created property-specific podcasts (The West Wing Weekly?? or does that count as TPTB because of Josh Malina?) vs. overall fannish podcasts (e.g. Fansplaining).
Popslash
- Pages that need expansion: 5 Seconds of Summer, Panic! at the Disco, 'N Sync, and Fall Out Boy
- Pages that need to exist: A page for the Smiths and/or Morrissey. Currently there are 217 fanworks on AO3 tagged "The Smiths". Smiths/Morrissey fandom has at least a thirty-year history offline (bootleg albums, fanart, fan-organized tours, fanzines, cover bands, fan compilations) and about 20 years of history online (fanfiction, fanvids, fanart, fan communities and blogs). Ideally there would be a page specifically about the Smiths fandom community on tumblr in the mid-2010s. Items of note: Marrissey tinhatting, intersection of fandom and academia, copyright takedowns, Morrissey-solo.com vs. Morrissey, interactions with band members, metafandom).
- Duplicity, the One Direction Wattpad fanfiction that blew up in 2021 after the reveal of Harry Styles actually being an American named Sebastian.
- Waterparks needs a page. would recommend having one for Awsten + Travis' Slumber Party, too, since they primarily cover fannish things. fandom's got a weird drama history and a useful tumblr documenting it
- Grateful Dead and other "Jam bands"
Rick and Morty
- pages that need expansion: Rick Sanchez, Morty Smith, Summer Smith, Rick/Morty
Rurouni Kenshin
Some links for ease of page creation:
- Himura Kenshin (a page for Hitokiri Battousai would probably also be a good idea, though he could be a sub-section on the Kenshin page)
- Kamiya Kaoru
- Sagara Sanosuke
- Myoujin Yahiko
- Takani Megumi
- Shinomori Aoshi
- Makamachi Misao
- Megumi/Sano
- Aoshi/Misao
- Kenshin/Sano
Could also use coverage of significant RuroKen authors and fanfics:
Science Fiction and Fantasy Fandom
See also: FanloreProject:SF Fandom
A Series of Unfortunate Events
- Pages that need expansion:
- Pages that need to be created: Justice Strauss
Sherlock Holmes
- List of Sherlock Holmes Communities and Forums is mostly LJ communities. Add mailing lists, etc.?
- Should probably convert that list to a category while we're at it.
Star Trek
Other than Star Trek and NASA, there's very little about the significant intersection of the fandom and the broad field of science. I think we need a Science and Star Trek page (or something along those lines).
- pages that need to be created: all characters and most pairings from Star Trek: Enterprise:
Stranger Things
- See also FanloreProject:Stranger Things
- Help with adding/expanding controversy sections, particularly in terms of anti perspectives, on Billy Hargrove and Harringrove would be much appreciated.
Thai BL
Shows that need pages:
A page about couples, i.e. actor pairs who are marketed as a "couple" in Thai BL (particularly by GMMTV) would also be nice.
Tokusatsu
Some pages have been started for Super Sentai, Godzilla and High Speed Parahero Gandine, but need expanded and more fannish content. We also need pages for individual Super Sentai, Kamen Rider and Ultraman series.
If anyone has information on pre-2009 tokusatsu fandom and how fandoms for specific shows started, reactions at the time, it would be great to have these added to the pages for their respective shows.
Tokyo Ghoul
- expand on fandom practices (like fan theories, analysis of symbolism), trends, reactions (to tgre)
- Character pages, especially Kaneki Ken, also Kirishima Touka, Juuzou Suzuya, Shuu Tsukiyama, Koutarou Amon, Akira Mado, Hideyoshi Nagachika, Tōru Mutsuki
True Crime Community
Serial Killer fandoms are pretty notorious and widely mocked, but fanlore has absolutely nothing about that controversy. It would be good to tie it in with controversy about RPF. Info about the fandom practices would be even better. There probably also interesting things to be said about the popularity Serial Killers as a trope and genre.
Twilight
The fandom is so huge, yet the Fanlore page barely says anything but statistics gleaned by non-Twilight fans, and doesn't even mention any popular fanwriters, fanartists, or specific fanworks. Twilight RPF could also use expansion.
Webcomics
There are a lot of webcomics out there with huge and active fanbases, but very few pages in the Category:Webcomics.
- pages that need expansion: Questionable Content, Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name, Hark! A Vagrant, xkcd, Ava's Demon, Boy Meets Boy, Nimona
- pages that need to be created: David Willis's stuff, Romantically Apocalyptic, A Redtail's Dream, Year in Hereafter, Castle Swimmer, Girls With Slingshots, Something Positive, Octopus Pie, Go Get a Roomie!, Girlyyy, Teahouse, Sinfest, the list goes on and on...
Additionally, the webcomic page probably should cover more information.
Webseries
A lot of interesting webseries with huge and active fanbase that needs its own page.
- Pages that need expansion: The Mandela Catalogue, Inanimate Insanity
- Pages that need to be created: Lacey Games, Bugbo, Walten Files, Gemini Home Entertainment, Vita Carnis, Local 58, Etra-chan Saw It!, FNAF VHS, Petscop, ChezzKids Archive, Battle for Dream Island, Secret Society Yaruminati, Grim Reaper Flag Chan, Teikou Penguin, Karekore the half blood
YouTube
- A updated, detailed list can be found at FanloreProject:YouTube Fandom! However, these are good, important starting points:
- main article needs expansion
- Pages that need to be created: Troyler, Lemma, Ross's Game Dungeon, Extra Credits, CinemaSins, Sawtooth Waves/The Brony Notion, Animator vs. Animation, Cocomelon
- Pages that need expansion: Dan Howell, Phil Lester, Tronnor, Game Grumps, John Green, Hank Green, Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, The Hat Fic, Heat Waves, Let's Play, Jim Sterling, Dream (YouTuber), Technoblade, HermitCraft, MatPat, Dreamnotfound
Video Games
Main article could use more information. The majority of video game pages also need the video game infobox.

- FanloreProject:Genshin Impact
- FanloreProject:Friday Night Funkin'
- FanloreProject:MCYT
- FanloreProject:Omori
- FanloreProject:Pizza Tower

Other Fandoms
Fandoms that have Crack Van fandom overviews but no Fanlore articles: Ace Lightning, Chrono Crusade, Gorgeous Carat, Let Dai, Lie to Me, Raffles, The Amateur Cracksman. Also: Musical Theater, Science Fiction TV RPF
Serious anime fans usually follow the histories of animation studios as well as manga artists. Should probably have pages for Bones, Studio Trigger, Sunrise, Mappa, Madhouse, A-1 Pictures, etc.
Tabletop RPGs:
- Popular games that need pages: Shadowrun, Fiasco, Pathfinder, Cyberpunk (TTRPG), etc.
- Pages that need expansion: Dungeons & Dragons, Vampire: The Masquerade
Theatre:
- Plays that need pages: The Dog in the Manger
Misc: Underworld, Kaylor, Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist

- Spy-Fi
- & the other Category:Fandoms by Canon Type pages
Tropes
I'm assuming links to Angels are re: their appearance in fic?
- POV Outsider/Outside POV: prevalent in fanworks that expand on canon
- Enemy to Caretaker- rapidly growing trope I see a lot on AO3
- Cannibalism - Popular in Hannibal, Digital Devil Saga, Tokyo Ghoul, etc. fandoms
- Gore - Gore, guro, eroguro and robo-gore are all widely popular
- Damsel in Distress (trope)
- Princess Carry - for some fandoms/ships this is a popular fanart trope
- Quarantine Fic is a new stub page that needs fan reactions and examples.
- Cakeverse page now exists but needs more fannish examples as it gains popularity.
- Mommy Kink
Other Glossary Terms
- Breakout characters and fan favorites
- Power imbalance (in the context of ships)
Websites
- 4chan: The main article needs expansion
- 8tracks: Could do with a mention of it becoming America only from 2016 and the impact this had on international fans wishing to use the service. Also, when they stopped allowing user-uploaded tracks.
- Amino: A platform becoming increasingly popular with younger fans. Needs expansions and more perspectives.
- Aestheticism: Aestheticism was one of the first widely-accessible sources of information on BL ("yaoi") in English. The article is a stub, but it has references that could be used to flesh it out. The owners are still around AFAIK; the site's just down. Someone could find them and ask them about the site's history and their future plans.
- booth.pm: A Japanese website for selling doujin merch and doujinshi.
- Cohost: Needs expansion, especially regarding fandoms that are active on the site.
- Cosplay.com: Used to have a really different interface and a really strong fannish community; I'm not sure where cosplayers go to share their works and resources these days, but cosplay.com had a robust forums community and user profiles with galleries! It was the place to be!
- DeviantART: needs expansion
- Freedom of Speech Archive: Anyone know anything about this site? Is that the same as Freedom of Speech Fan Fiction Archive or different?
- GaiaOnline: Similar to cosplay.com, had a really robust forum culture and sub-forums for roleplay, anime and manga, books and comics, and so on; so there were lots of fannish discussions that took place.
- GeoCities Rescue Project: Many of the pages created for this project are still stubs or don't include updated links. [68]
- GeoCities could use more fannish perspective.
- Listing Sites Articles: Many early websites have disappeared. Just as fandom shifted online from zines, so it has increasingly been shifting from personal websites to LJ/DW or FF.net. Now, people are dropping personal sites to archive on AO3. There are many fan websites still needing documentation - even just listing them (with their URLs) for each fandom would help. Sorted by fandom for navigation. See Fanlore:Wish List/Listing Sites
- Mangafox.com: A page about this very successful site that offers scanlated manga to read online, but that is often hosted without the scanlator's permission. It's actually one site among many owned by the for-profit U.S.?/China?-based company NOEZWork, Inc / NOEZ.com that host fanworks like scanlations, fansubs, fanart, etc., often without fan permission, and make money off ad revenue. A sneakier, successful version of monetizing fans a la FanLib, Narutofan.com, and the like. A couple of links:

- http://japanzai.com/index.php?topic=1619.0
- http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://noez.com (older pages with info about NOEZ's corporate plans before they were taken down)
- Pillowfort: This page could use some general updating, as well as more examples of fan discussions. (Sidenote- since the communities are explicitly LJ inspired, should we add this site and some of its comms to Category:Journaling Communities?)
- Reddit Individual subreddit pages that need to be created:
- Spirit Fanfiction: Biggest fanfiction archive in Portuguese language. (I created the page, I should have done it before, thanks for adding it to the page Alpha, hope everyone can soon change it from stub to full article Ellakbhesse (talk) 12:38, 28 March 2022 (UTC) )
- The Sith Academy: This page needs details! The who, what, when, where, and how of The Sith Academy and its community of fans. Edited to add: I added some background. --MeeDee 05:16, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
- Tumblr: Could someone please add something on this page about the rumors around partnership with Midjourney and the Predstrogen/Photomatt shitshow leading to migration to Cohost and Pillowfort? All stuff from February 2024.
- Wordpress: Could use expansion.
- Xanga: Anyone ever active on Xanga?
