[edit] Stories
Saving people's stories and archiving them with out permission goes against the fannish ethos. Because of that, we didn't want to save the stories themselves. We wanted to operate inside of fandom's norms. What we did instead was to get the title, author, publishing date, archive name, archive url, summmary, fandom and awards a story has won. This way knowledge of the story's existence can be preserved. People can edit the article to explain its importance in fandom, where to find the story now, explain fandom reactions to the story.
[edit] Editing story pages
When we created the story pages, we didn't use our normal bot developer. Instead, we used an extension which allowed the import of a CSV file in to the wiki. It did not include the full text of the template. Thus there are two ways to edit an article: 1) Edit the fields. 2) Copy and paste from a story template and fill out the information.
Edit the fields
Pages created for stories use templates like Template:StoryGeoCities or Template:Russellcrowestorytemplate.
Copy and paste from a story template and fill out the information
Template:Story is a template that you can copy and paste in to an article.
[edit] Story deletion
Our deletion policy is similar to that of fanzines. We will delete non-notable stories upon request. See Help:Article deletion#Story article deletion request for information on requesting an article about a story be deleted.
