—Project

As part of the project's New Year's Resolutions, there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 5%. As of March 14, we are at 9.78%, with 463 articles currently in Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. It still would be greatly appreciated if members would expand, source and improve stub articles, and a list of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve is included on the stub article subpage.
Based on the members list, there are currently 241 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling.

Editing Tips

This section is devoted to helping project members become familiar with the Manual of Style and general editing tips.

When adding headers to articles, do not add wikilinks to them and only capitalize the first letter of the first word and any proper nouns.
Please remember that fair use images and media can be only be used if no free equivalent is available or could be created. Fair use images uploaded when a free equivalent exists will be deleted.
If you come across an article that fails notability requirements, you can tag it for speedy deletion if the criteria apply, propose it for deletion, or nominate it at WP:AFD.
The lead section of an article should introduce the subject and summarize the entire article.
Avoid adding statements that will date quickly, for example "soon" and "now".
