Todo

Things I intend to create/improve at some point. Don't let something being on this list stop you from creating/improving it first!

Articles

• Board of Trustees — Furry Twitch Team founded by Kris Yim (Twitch, Twitter)
• Brony/My Little Pony/My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic — very long articles, significant duplication of content, "Brony" was a single paragraph when decision to merge was made, is now very worthy of being its own article (see talk page)
• Furries United Network — Furry Twitch Team (Twitch, website)
• Furtastic (esports team) — furry esports team; unrelated to Furtastic (website, Twitch Team)
• Pooltoy/Pool toy/Inflatable toy — Currently redirects to article about plushies, seems distinct enough to be its own thing to me; currently focuses much on them as an object/paraphilia, lacking info on pooltoy fursonas/OCs

Articles about meets and conventions

• BicK (Beasts in center of Kyusyu) — Japanese convention
• OKIKEMO! — convention in Okinawa, Japan
• SouthFurs — very outdated, seems to have become or superseded by SouthernFurs. Also seems to have been a group known as SouthWest Furs (that *isn't* SouthWest Furs) that *also* used the name "SouthFurs" at some point. Confusing.
• Super Furry Fusion — missing info on related convention "Winter Furry Fusion"

Articles about media

• Billie Bust Up — video game currently in development
• Cartwright and Tenner — webcomic by Glaz
• Gunfire Reborn — Hong Kong-made roguelite video game with anthropomorphic animal cast (website)
• Smasher and the Will o' the Thiccs - fat fur video game made by CreatureUnknown
• TFTuesday Podcast — furry podcast focusing on transformation (Twitter, YouTube)
• TransFur News — defunct news site regarding transgender/furry intersectional issues; questionable notability, was very short lived (Website, Twitter)
• Vulpwood! — upcoming (but long delayed) animated series by ShadyVox and Jan Animations, originally announced in 2018 (IMDb)

Articles about species (real and fictional)

• Various anthropomorphic Dungeons & Dragons races. There are a lot, could potentially be listed/summaries on main article. Below list only includes official races in 5e.
  • Aarakocra — flight-capable anthro birds, typically resembling birds of prey (eagles, hawks, etc.)
  • Bugbear — large, furred humanoids ostensibly based on bears, though appear much more humanoid than most races on this list
  • Dragonborn — humanoid/dragon hybrids
  • Grung — anthro amphibians, resembling frogs
  • Harengon — anthro rabbits and hares
  • Kenku — flightless anthro birds, typically corvids
  • Kobold — anthro dragons
  • Leonin — anthro lions
  • Lizardfolk — anthro reptiles, resembling lizards
  • Locathah — anthro fish
  • Loxodon — anthro elephants
  • Owlin — anthro owls
  • Tabaxi — anthro cats
  • Tortle — anthro turtles/tortoises
• Phonodroid/Phonotron — anthro animal music players created by Smorbee
• Vottle — fox-like anthro robots ([1])

Articles about people

• Braeburned — outdated.
• Brutalmoose — popular YouTuber (825K+ subscribers) and anthro artist; questionable validity; had previously confirmed was a furry in Tumblr Q&A but seems to be deleted now, apparently attended Furry Fiesta at least once (website)
• FeatheredFlint — voice actor and Twitch VTuber (Twitch, Twitter)
• Kamex — furry musician (YouTube, Stream channel with RetroSpecter, Twitter)
• Mic the Microphone — former brony musician, now a prominent furry VTuber (31K+ followers) (Twitch)
• Pyrocynical — popular YouTuber (4.6M+ subscribers) with a fox fursona
• RetroSpecter — furry musician and artist (YouTube, Stream channel with Kamex, Twitter)
• Will Toledo (aka, Mortis Jackrabbit) — furry lead singer of w:Car Seat Headrest (NME article, fursuit tweet, Know Your Meme post)
• Xerxes Qados — outdated. Is now the lead singer of w:Dog Park Dissidents, which seems like a rather notable change of circumstances.
• Viva Reverie — furry/brony animator with a bat/spider fursona

Templates

• {{cite forum}} — for citing forum posts, blog post comments, or other snippets of content typically viewed in situ of the surrounding context
• {{cite AV media}} — for citing time-based media (aka, audio or video) where information relating to timecodes is necessary
• {{cite newsgroup}} — for citing newsgroup threads or posts, could be an extension of {{cite forum}} with some newsgroup related aspects pre-filled
• {{flagdiv}} — could use documentation; flag icons are somewhat inconsistent and could be improved
• {{italic title}} — could use additional functionality to only italicise parts of titles

Meta templates for elements common to multiple citation types (author lists, date formats, etc.) might be a good idea too.

Other

• Slightly reducing the size of references in the global stylesheet might be nice. Wikipedia has this as a global style now, and it seems like {{reflist}} was supposed to do this, but it currently only creates columns.

[citation needed]

What's the best template for the job?

I am referencing...

• an article from an academic journal —?
• a book — {{cite book}}
• a blog post — {{cite web}}
  • unless on a service where posts don't require titles and/or any written content (e.g. Tumblr, Facebook) —?
• a comic book —?
• a comic strip —?
• a forum post —?
• a magazine article —?
• a newsgroup post —?
• a newspaper article — {{cite news}}
• a podcast episode —?
• a press release — {{cite news}}
• a radio show episode —?
• a social media biography (e.g. Twitter, Facebook) — {{cite web}}
• a TV show episode —?
• a tweet on Twitter — {{cite tweet}}
• a video —?
• a video game —?
• a web page — {{cite web}}
  • unless an article on a news website — {{cite news}}

Citing different pages in the same book or magazine? Or different time codes of the same AV media? Might wanna make a simplified version of Wikipedia's {{r}} template for this case.
