current projects being worked on

I've completed the title histories -> days project. So glad to be done with that. I'm not going to bother with the Category:Championships (without history) titles; if they're ever fleshed out enough that they belong to the main category, I'll worry about them then. I've also skipped parts of histories where the title was essentially a Japan or US title without any luchadors competiting for it, where it just becomes useless noise to this wiki. I probably included too much of the DG title changes, but enough of the guys worked in IWRG before starting there to make it worthwhile, and the titles often floated back to Mexico.

I'm probably going to spend my idle time working on a non-wiki project for the next while. The next major project for the wiki is going thru the CMLL/AAA rosters, clearing up the dead weight, bringing dates over to the day pages, and writing at least something on every significant person. A paragraph is fine and I can easily write that much on everyone I'd like - it's keeping distilling people like Cibernetico down to a managable size without driving myself nuts that's going to be the challenge. Hopefully I stay out of the way of those people nicely going thru all the profiles to wiki them up, because they seem to be doing a good job without me goofing it up.

Minor project before then is to mark and clean up the To do list to see what we still need (and what I can quickly come across in Google, or less quickly by asking questions on puroresu boards.) Long term dream project is historical rosters (even a category as unspecifically define as "Stars of the UWA" or "AAA Golden Age (92-96)" would probably be very useful to people. It'd only really take someone who knows the period well to write a list, because I could do the grunt work pretty quickly on my own.

I think I still owe a page better explaining match types as well, which shouldn't take long if I sit down to do it.

New idea: subcategories for Moves. Specifically something for wacky lucha-only submissions

Suggested Move Categories

These are not meant to be exclusive; moves can appear in multiple groups

• Category:Basic Moves - your no-frills dropkicks, armdrags, hiptoss, splash, senton, and the very basic variations of dives (plancha, pescado, tope). These should be moves which aren't even necessarily includes on profiles, because they're common.
• Category:Cradles - any type of roll up
• Category:Submissions - obviously
  • Category:Lucha Submissions - submissions rarely seen outside of lucha libre. It's Wacky Lucha Submissions without typing Wacky.
• Category:Flying Moves - not sure if that's the best way to say it, but anything jumping/springboard off the ropes
  • Category:Dives - Flying moves to the floor
    • maybe even sub categories for Plancha/Tope?
• Category:Strikes - ?
• and there still needs to be something for everything else, but I don't have a good category name for it. I've seem Holds and Manuevers in other places, but that's too broad.

The other idea is, instead of doing categories linking to pages that have single images, maybe we just have pages with galleries of moves and names. Instead of having a page with move names, we have a page with move pictures. I think this would work really well for the Lucha Submissions page (most people will have seen an image of a move and wonder at the name, not the other way around) but may require more effort.
