Editing and stub out in Meta world | World Anvil

Editing and stub out

We have a lot of challenges to expand our worlds, but what about a challenge to turn stubs into real articles and finally edit those pesky old articles?
— Catoblepon

This is, as of now, something that I'm trying to see if it could work. It is very bare-bones and will (hopefully) constantly grow and improve, if people seem to like the idea.

We all have worlds in WA and we know the challenges of WA, usually giving prompts to create new articles (although WorldEmber is supposed to be to work on stubs). But we have barely any excuse to work on old stubs or articles that require editing! Here's where this "challenge" enters. There's no complexity on this, just note down your stubs (and articles to edit) and start writing! See the stub number go down!

To do that simply open the sheet and in the tab you will see first (the Info one), simply write your name on the column "Username" and the number of stubs you have in the "Initial Stubs + articles to edit" (if you have a lot of stub, the graph line will barely change). Congrats! You joined! Then, as you edit and write, simply fill the columns on the right (make sure you stay on the line of yours) with what you write and create!

In the Months' columns, after finding your line (remember, this is not a sheet vertically! what used to be your column, it is now your line!), in the "Stubs written / articles edited" write the sum of how many stubs have you written and how many articles you have edited. In the "Stubs spawned", you write how many stubs you have created while doing all the creation and editing (do not cheat by not making stubs! we are lowering their number but they are great to keep articles connected!). And finally, in the "words written" you write the amount of words between all the articles written and edited! Remember to change where you write all this info after the month is done!

"Yeah but what do I get from this?" Uh? You want something else than an excuse to work on stubs and editing? Okay I guess... I don't have badges to be honest, and because this is just a test to see if people would like this system, I don't intent to get any BUT! If you go to the "Goals" tab (look at the bottom of the sheet), you'll see that I have made some goals you can try archive for! Monthly goals that are easy (and a couple of "harder" just cuz why not?) and they are automatized, so if you fill the requirement for them, you'll see it pop up in your line! (Goals give emojis and images)

So, will you join?

...would it count for this challenge if I'm just turning my stubs into real articles instead of drafts, with a wikipedia-style stub tag? :')
