We're phasing out the Louis Rossmann video directory in favour of a more general Article suggestions page, created by the eminent JamesTDG!

This will allow anyone to contribute their (hopefully sourced!) ideas to the Wiki without needing to create a full article, and will provide an excellent repository of ideas for editors in need of inspiration.

2025-06-10

We're opening up applications for moderators! Please see here for full instructions on how to apply.

In short, we're looking for motivated individuals who are willing to patrol the Wiki, make sure that articles are up to scratch, and take actions to protect the wiki from spam or malicious content whenever appropriate.

We made it easier for you to create a new article! Simply click on Create a page in the sidebar on the left, fill in the title for your page and click on "Create page".
