We all love it, otherwise it's unlikely you'd be here. Talk about the show and the fanbase surrounding it. Brony music discussions encouraged.

My Little Pony Fan Labor Wiki

Postby Tulipclaymore » 02 Jun 2012 19:29

Hello. With Makkon's permission, I would like to introduce those of you who don't know it yet to the My Little Pony Fan Labor Wiki, where I am an administrator. The name is a little unwieldy, but the purpose is not: the wiki aims to catalogue this fandom's productivity, be it in the form of fan fiction, fan art, games, videos, or music, among others. It is not a repository (like FIMFiction, YouTube or deviantArt), but an encyclopaedia: we host pages which summarise the fandom's activities in any of the many fields which are of interest to the wiki.

So I would like to invite everyone here to participate in the wiki; you do not need a wikia account to edit an existing article or even to create a new one. There are almost no restrictions to creating new pages either for yourself or for someone whose work you would like represented on the wiki.

For musicians, for instance, all that is asked is that the musician in question have already released a few songs which can be listed, and that the page is more substantial than "this musician exists". For instance, a selected composition can be described in a little more detail; and/or the musician's style can be analysed; and/or some relevant, pre-existing information can be summarised. For examples, take a look at Tsyolin's and MandoPony's pages.
Other music-related projects can get pages as well, like the various charity albums, Balloon Party, or this very website.

Every contribution matters, no matter how small. If you'd like to help, that'd be greatly appreciated. If the last between-seasons hiatus is any indication, the fandom is going to grow a great deal more until the next new episode, and the wiki has the opportunity of becoming a central information resource to newcomers, and maybe to more experienced fans as well. I've certainly discovered the work of quite a few people I wouldn't have found without the wiki.

If you have any questions (about technical aspects or our few content restrictions), please don't hesitate to ask.

This is brilliant! I can finally use my Wikia account for something other than CreepyPasta.

@Facade:
It's a little short at present. If you want, I can insert an empty table into the page so you can link to a couple representative songs of yours (similar to the tables on pretty much all the other musician pages).

The table actually comes standard issue if you start a new article via the front page (from the orange box in the centre), which I strongly recommend for newcomers, though you appear to have started with a blank page instead.

Even though I did not expect to see any lesser known artists like e.g. me, I am honestly surprised SimGretina isn't there. I guess I can say "yet" as the list(s) are probably going to expand, but so far the idea seems great.

Keep on going, and don't forget about us! :)

Well, there are less than a dozen musician pages on the wiki at present. Lots of artists both famous and not yet famous are missing, of course. That's part of why I created this thread: This place is full of people who like and know brony music.

To clarify something I may not have relayed properly before: anyone can create a page about anyone else. It's relatively easy; there's a box on the front page where you can type in the name of an artist, and you'll then be redirected to a page with instructions.
The wiki does not enforce any popularity tests; if an article is encyclopedic (written neutrally and using publicly available sources) and long enough (with Tsyolin's page at the lower end of what is considered "long enough"), it stays. No matter whether someone's songs get 1,000 views per day or only 10.

That page wouldn't really survive for very long...

I'm kidding. I plan on releasing some music over the summer. I am collabing on an album with a bunch of people.
