Wikipedia Profiles

[Guest shellsbut]

Has anyone on the CBUB here ever created a comic character profile on Wikipedia and if so, do you have a good link that will take you through the process step by step? I would like to give it a try sometime soon and a little help would be appreciated . Thanks for your time.

Bump..., because this is much more relevant now.

Please don't hate me.

Also, I'll probably post a "How to" later on.

Wikipedia are jerks sometimes to be honest.

Wikipedia isn't always the best source, If we could use Fandom wikias instead...

You guys might have to ask Fox about that.

The reason I ask for Wikipedia is because they are permanent in the Internet.  Like, a decade later those links still work.

 

It's not a value judgement on the usefulness or authoritativeness of Wikipedia itself.  It's purely an issue of not having to spend time maintaining broken links, pretty much.

I noticed a lot of characters who had their own pages back in the day got cut down by Wikipedia's relevancy policy and folded into 'List of ____ characters' pages, the ruthless bastards. Thankfully those links all seem to still redirect to the appropriate article tho.

Even some of them are gone, damn Wikipedia.
