South Park Archives:Projects/Wiki Housewarming
The wiki's move to a new platform from Fandom to wiki.gg provides us a greater freedom in managing wiki contents and fully document the show that we all love. With the platform move, we would like to take the opportunity to initiate a series of projects for all editors to take part in, listed below.
For individual items that you wish to participate in, input your wiki name into the Sign-Up List below. If a particular item which you are interested in has already been occupied, it's always best to contact the relevant parties first, before lending a hand on the project. Once the items in the sections have been completed, mark the relevant columns with the {{Yes}}
template on the "Status" column.

Censorship
Since the enforcement of Fandom's Offensive Term Policy, the wiki has been limited on the contents that are not allowed, with editors unable to make any other changes on articles until the offensive terms are censored. We aim to rollback all censors that had been in place in the Fandom network on the new wiki platform.
Many of the censored words can be found in the episode plots, trivia and script pages. To check if these words were censored, search for the *
symbol in the articles. Replace the censors as required.

New Contents
As part of the recommendations by wiki.gg, creating new pages and contents in the forked wiki is highly encouraged. Particular items of interest include:
- The Terrance and Phillip Show (to differentiate the show from the characters)
- ¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor!
- "La Cucaracha", a song that has been featured in several episodes.
- Episode Extras (as part of the wiki's Extras project)
- Credited actors and voice actors who currently do not have a wiki article.
Critical Reception
Since Season Twenty-Five, South Park Archives has discontinued the use of Critical Reception in the episode articles, as these reviews are merely opinions of individual writers or websites, and do not represent the views of the South Park community as a whole. For standardization, the section that has been left behind on other episodes prior should be removed altogether.
Source Reliability
South Park Archives has acknowledged that certain websites such as IMDb can be edited just like a wiki, and are subjected to multiple erroneous or conflicting information regarding voice acting and character names. Therefore, these websites should no longer be adopted as reliable sources for the wiki.
Existing IMDb sources for voice acting should as far as possible be replaced with other websites that cannot be edited by the general public. These include (but not limited to):
- Casting websites such as Actors Access or The Mandy Network.
- Social media accounts of the involved voice actors or the agency which they are employed in.
NSFW Contents
Images that have been removed or are deemed to be offensive by Fandom standards may now be uploaded into the wiki. Particular items of interest can be found in the Sign-Up List below.

Plagiarism Check
Recent checks on episode articles found that the episode plots have been copied word for word from Wikipedia, with a few minor changes done since then. To improve credibility of the episode articles, we invite editors to check and replace them with unique plotlines.
Compare the plot from the wiki to that in the relevant Wikipedia article. You may use plagiarism checking tools such as PlagiarismDetector.net or Dupli Checker to assist you. If you find a plot that has been plagiarized, but are unable to rewrite the plot within a single edit session, mark the Plot section with a {{Rewrite}}
template.
Article Standardization
Articles pertaining to the following groups currently have no standardized formatting. These articles will be changed in line with South Park Archives' updated Manual of Style.
