Wikipedia has a problem with listing all the Jills that have appeared in every video game and cartoon episode that has every aired.
Wikipedia also has a solution. Apparently the phenomenon is called fancruft and gamecruft and I found a ton of great stuff under the hood while digging around to see what they do about it:
Here are the policies:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fancruft
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GAMECRUFT
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cruftcruft
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Deletion
This is for people who find the term cruft offensive:
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:Fancruft
- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/Wikipedia:Fancruft_(second_nomination)
This was fun funny stuff I stumbled on:
