This overcrowds the category, making it more difficult to see articles in need of actual help.

Hello! I'm Quillathe_Siannodel (not my real name, just the name of my favorite D&D character) and I would like to welcome you to my user page!


Current Project: Addressing possible overuse and frustrating vagueness of incomplete template.

PROBLEM: Instead of having factual information on why the comic is incomplete added or - even better - being removed once the explanation is finished, the incomplete template is being treated as a place to put witty comments. This overcrowds the category, making it more difficult to see articles in need of actual help.

SOLUTION: I'm going around the Incomplete category finding incomplete comics that seem complete to me and posting the following. If anyone wants to help me, they can add the below text (or something similar) to the discussion page of seemingly complete comics marked as incomplete. Please do not spam it or add it to comics that are incomplete or have good reasons for incompleteness mentioned.

== Does anyone know why this is incomplete? ==

Without information, nobody knows which part needs fixing. If anyone knows why this is incomplete, please post the reason here or, even better, in the incomplete tag. If nobody can provide a satisfactory answer, maybe we should consider removing the incomplete tag. '''Note that I am posting this exact same text on other comics of questionable incompleteness. It's not spamming, it's a conscious attempt to clean this category up.'''--~~~~
