As you may have noticed, there are quite a few unofficial pages left lurking, and more than a few templates missing their data. As of today, I have begun an attempt at remedying such issues one problem at a time.
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
As of 3/03/25 NZT, the previous Candidate for Deletion template has been unofficially retired. This is entirely due to an update towards the formatting of Mediawiki templates, and how it has messed with the visual language of the templates.
From today onward, the old candidate for deletion template is to be replaced with a newer, more primitive template simply labelled as Delete2.
All content requiring to be marked for deletion shall be marked with this newer template as a means of avoiding the issues that comes with a more antiquated, dysfunctional template.
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
In regards to the plague of unofficial pages that remain in this Fandom's listing, many of you will be happy to hear that I am halfway through marking each of them with deletion template. All pages before "The Armless Creature" have been marked.
Furthermore, when marking a page for deletion, it is highly recommended that you utilise the correct templates (See the previous segment), and that you do not bring each individual page to a moderator. Instead, mark the pages for deletion and send the moderator the Candidates for Deletion category.
This allows us in the moderation team to remove all reported content in one foul swoop via the mass-purge/mass-delete function, saving us potential hours of toil and struggle.

Overall, progress towards this small bout of cleaning is going well. But for any issues that remain unaddressed, I would recommend voicing them in the comments for me to further look into.
First day back, and I'm already making a maintenance report. But I'll be damned, it feels good to be back!
(Ps: I have no clue why, but every time I read this, I read it like a 'The State of the Union' meeting. I Wonder if I can sneak in a reference next Report...)
