—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 February 28, we have dipped below 10% for the first time at 9.93%, with 469 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 238 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling.
