Just a thought: if you are removing a fic from the unclaimed list and don't put it on the claimed list could you put in the edit summary why you are removing it? It's bad enough money keeps disappearing from my pocket without telling me where it is going. [[User:Indemaat|Indemaat]] 09:22, 25 May 2008 (CDT) |

* I just pulled a dead-link story off the Video Games section ... and the edit summary box seems to have gone AWOL on me. I'm running Firefox 13.0.1, anyone else with that release know where the darn thing is hiding? --[[User:Antigone68104|Antigone68104]] 19:27, June 30, 2012 (UTC) |

When you come across a dead link, and can't find a new link to the story by googling it or any other search method, please feel free to remove the link from the list. Don't just add "link doesn't work" to the list. That doesn't really solve the problem, no does it? [[User:Indemaat|Indemaat]] 08:36, June 16, 2010 (UTC) |

Revision as of 21:00, 30 June 2012
Adding
Please try to put fics and categories in alphabetical order. If you don't know the alphabet then you don't really have any business putting fic here. Indemaat 07:28, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
Links
You do not have to post to the Board to put a fic on this list. Just because a fic on the list wasn't announced to the Board doesn't mean it can be removed without justification. Someone thought it was worthy of being PPCd, hence it being here. Trojie 22:15, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
Categories
Should there be a section here for Tamora Pierce unclaimed badfic? I'm a fan and the Tamora Pierce fandom is at least as large as the Redwall fandom. I've been finding badfic from there all over and I'd like to help. ~Cinnia Aine~ 23:14, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- Cheers, that would be really helpful. I'm a fan too but so far have deliberately avoided badfic for her worlds. However ... if you run across any badslash involving Nealan of Queenscove, I'm definitely interested in killing it! Agenttrojie 02:57, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
I don't know if I should notify one of the wikia leaders or edit it myself. I'm not sure of the editing rules for pages like these. ~Cinnia Aine~ 03:59, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
- Just follow the format of the page. That is, under the right heading, preferably in alphabetical order, add a link to the story (with a name to that link) give the rating and the summary. Simple. IndeMaat 15:38, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Should there be a new category for Internet Media fics? Things like Red vs Blue, Homestar Runner, the various Abriged anime series, etc. PoorCynic 01:07, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
Removing links

Updating the list
To keep this list managable, please remove fics that have been on this list for more than (oh say) 18 months. If no one has come around to claim it by then, it's not very likely anyone will anymore. And it's not like there is a shortage of badfic to chose from. Indemaat 07:49, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
- I have taken off all the fic that was on the list on 1 January 2009. 85 fics have been showcased here long enough. Indemaat 07:24, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
- I don't understand, are there certain levels of popularity a certain badfic must achieve in order to be posted here? I don't think so, but I will wait for an answer for fear of the editors that be. ThArcanist 01:50, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
- Nah, it's not about popularity. It's just that if a fic is sitting on this list for more than a year or so without being claimed, it doesn't seem like it's the sort of thing anyone wants to spork, so it might as well get removed so the page doesn't get stretched out indefinitely.
- Come to think of it, it's probably about time the list got pruned again. I can probably work it in at some point, since Indemaat's not around anymore. Unless someone else wants to step up, of course. *hint hint hey other admins nudge nudge*
- Anyway, thanks for asking first. {= )
- Also, Editors That Be, huh? I like that. (Muahaha...)

Categories
If removing links/updating the list results in an empty category, please remove that category. It can always be replaced when there's something to put in it, and empty spaces just look sloppy. ~Neshomeh 16:50, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
