Any other information:

Since joining I have added comments to about 60 pages on episodes, as well as to other users’ blogs and responded to their comments as well. I have also posted a number of blogs, news items, coming events, and photos.

 I have been editing the wiki daily since joining on March 26, 2015. I have made well over 6000 edits since joining, contributed about 90 new articles, and uploaded 100 photos (consistently named to facilitate searching). During that time I have also filled in several dozen blank pages (pages with titles only; no content), combined over 250 stubs into longer articles, inserted photos into almost all articles lacking them, removed or repaired dead links, and edited almost all articles on the wiki for consistency of layout and style across pages, as well as for spelling, punctuation, and grammar, etc.



 I have created a Facebook page and a Twitter page for the wiki. I check for new users or users returning after an absence and post messages on their walls and / or respond to comments and contributions they have made. I have been in regular communication with Merrystar with questions, and seeking suggestions, opinions, and information on how to improve the wiki.



 I have edited the links on the main page to allow two click access to almost all articles, including episode overviews (the largest single group of pages), replacing the previous system where several links on the main page led to identical material and requited three or more clicks to reach. I have modified the slider on the main page to feature new material weekly focusing on a performer, an episode, and a general article. I have posted three upcoming events in the latest news box on the first page, as well as added blog entries with recent items of news concerning the series. I have created and installed a new poll which I plan to change monthly in future. I have repaired the category tree, and later streamlined it to remove unnecessary levels, merged categories with only one or two pages in them, and check daily for uncategorized categories and pages.



 As an administrator, I would like to edit the over 1000 image files. They are currently uncategorized and most have names that make them difficult to search for (e.g., “Episode Name 1, Episode Name 2” or “12345,” etc.). I would like to edit the names where necessary to facilitate searching and to categorize the images. I would also like to make certain changes to links on the main page to further simplify navigation on the wiki and to make it friendlier to new users.
