Loras Tyrell and Renly Baratheon are gay? Is that in the book?

Calling all wiki editors, you may have noticed I occasionally announce a theme week for our task queue. Nothing worse than a boring todo list, that's why we like to create themes like "THOR and Manly Men" or "Game of Thrones". So what sort of weekly themes would you like to see for out Wiki Task Queue? What sections of the site -- movies, characters, shows, galleries -- would you like help on? I'd love suggestions. Then we can pick the theme and work on it together.

Previous Wiki Task Themes:

Throw out ideas!

X-Men, the new movie is out in parts of the world and the character pages need write ups.

Perfect. You're right we have missing character articles.

Instead of 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon, how about 7 degrees to Jackie Chan?  He's been in so many movies all over the world, that it would include vast amounts of co-stars (famous & lesser known) as well as the films themselves.  Or... just do 7 degrees of Kevin Bacon? ;)

How about Babylon 5 - We need characters and character descriptions, not to mention Episode write-ups.

In spirit of the summer movie season, I'd say hit some of the iconic summer blockbuster movies, stars, and characters.

Yeah, completely agree with this - I'm not sure if it falls tightly into the idea of a theme, but I think having the characters and actors as well as the movies themselves offers a greater range of tasks for users to work on.

Ok guys, keep em coming, you can even list in your post what pages we should hit up. I'll keep this thread pinned and update the original post with the themes we've covered.

Pages that need Wiki Tasks, I seem to be finding a large number of X-Men characters need pages written up. In honor of X-Men First Class we should give them pages
 
  • Victor Creed Wolverine's archenemy deserves a page, Screened give him one.
  • Gambit This Cajun Mutant needs a page.
  • Jubilee She may have terrible fashion and is just plain annoying but still needs a page
  • Nightcrawler The amazing Nightcrawler needs an amazing page
  • Kitty Pryde fan favorite character needs a page
  • Storm Very popular X-Man needs a page
  • Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has nothing to do with the quasi-theme but it recently came out, was a huge success and doesn't have a plot or anything written for it.

I updated my list with new pages, mainly X-Men in honor of X-Men First Class.

I updated the queue. Perhaps we should recruit some good Comic Vine writers for the week.

Nice memos, everyone, but some of the X-Men characters' pages need more images as well, especially if they're featured in First Class. Just pointing this out.

What TV shows do we need work on? Our community is going to shape the feel of our wiki, as in, what types of shows and movies we're good for. So spit out the shows and movies (genres) that most interest you. I like to be able to Showcase certain wiki pages in the future.... point them out to new people and say "THIS, this page expresses who wer are as a wiki"

How about the Star Trek shows? They go along with this week's theme and only one of the show's pages has anything written on it. A lot of the character pages also need work too. 
 
Here are the ones I've found so far: 
 
There are more but those can all easily be found from the pages of each show and I don't feel like posting all those links.

I like this idea. I agree with this task.

@ethan: Can singular Wiki Tasks be added (or at least suggested to this thread) or not. Why I'm asking is because she doesn't have a full biography yet. :(

@bigheart711: I actually think the bio there looks to be a decent length at the moment - are you suggesting it might need expanding? 
If I recall correctly, that was part of the Hot Actresses theme weeks (we could totally go for round 2 of that ;) That is, if we're running low on ideas).

@skidd: @bigheart711: The biography for People is not on the main page but on the sub page here: http://www.screened.com/emma-stone/14-147147/biography/

But yes, we can also just add individual tasks too.
