Welcome to the CthulhuWiki
The CthulhuWiki (aka 'Wikithulhu') is an information resource relating to 20th Century Horror and Weird Fiction writer H.P. Lovecraft and works inspired by his writings, including the Cthulhu Mythos, the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game by Chaosium and the Yog-Sothoth.com web site.
Wikis live off user contributions. Something in the Yog-Sothoth.com forums needs preserving or writing up? Then why not preserve it here? Always wanted to write an entry about your favourite Call of Cthulhu supplement? Now you can.
An article a day? A week? A month? Whatever your timetable, help build the CthulhuWiki into a resource for yourself and other Lovecraft and Call of Cthulhu fans...
Tasks
These are various requested TODOs. There will be more to come, but this is a lot so far.
Revise Cthulhu Mythos
Take this page and break it down into it's component pages and categorize them properly based on the categories outlined below.
Finalize Category Name
We originally selected "Mythos Vade Mecum" as the local replacement for the group name "Cthulhu Mythos", but I've been thinking of replacing it since CM is much more familiar to the majority of people, and making a note on the general CM page of the various alternative names and placing redirects to CM #REDIRECT [[Cthulhu Mythos]] on said pages. Discuss this topic via this link.
Add to the Tutorial
Snag and massage some info from the [Wikipedia Editing Page] and insert it into the Advanced Editing of our tutorial.
Rename Historical to Historic
Change Historical * to Historic * and change the reference on any page that might link to said category.
Structure Categories for the RPG section
This is a big task, I'm probably going to take it on myself to organize it and then y'all can run with it.
Propose layouts/ideas for Each Concept
We need templates. Go here Template Ideas and post what you think is essential information for each Writer, Artist, Book, Magazine (a list of adventures, dates), Game, Adventure (a reference to each book/magazine it shows up in), etc.
