Wikipedia has a problem with listing (e.g.) 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:GAMECRUFT
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Cruftcruft
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Video_games/Deletion

This is for the encyclopedia's passionate defenders of useless pop subculture references:

  • 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 and funny stuff I stumbled on:
