Goals

Fill out species infoboxes

First thing's first. We need to get all the basic information for the species filled out. People are very likely to be looking for stats for a species they are considering, so this is a good starting point. Actual content is great and all, but I believe we need to get something up on as many pages as possible and then work from there.

For this particular task, we've got a handy guide to follow.

Species infoboxes: 100% complete Goal: 0 articles left Current: 0 articles left Initial: 78 articles left Statistics automatically update (refresh).

Add content to species pages

Once the previous goal is met, we should start filling out the species articles that got left with just an infobox, but no content. If we finish this goal, we'll have reached a big milestone in this wiki's development.
Note: The initial value of this goal will increase as the one above gains progress.

Species content: 100% complete Goal: 0 articles left Current: 0 articles left Initial: 78 articles left Statistics automatically update (refresh).

Clear out all stubs

This will likely take a while, as more stubs are continuously created. If we do ever accomplish this though, it'll be a great cause for celebration!

Currently there are 0 stubs
