Explain xkcd: It's 'cause you're dumb.

Hello! I'm Quillathe_Siannodel, signature {)|(}Quill{)|(}, and I would like to welcome you to my user page!

About Me

I am a wiki contributor. I enjoy role-playing, Interactive Fiction, etc. I also have mild SIWOTI Syndrome and perfectionist tendencies. I dabble in coding and enjoy typing extremely vague things about myself in About Me pages.

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

PROBLEM: In my opinion, the incomplete template has lost its original purpose. 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 or know why they need help. I'd also like to remind users that accurate incomplete tags are recommended at the explainxkcd FAQ - this is not just a newbie seeing problems where there aren't any.

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 have good reasons for incompleteness mentioned. Once the issue is fixed, note on the topic that the issue has been fixed.

== 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.'''--~~~~
