Welcome to '''WikiProject Furry'''! This group is dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of the [[furry fandom]].

;Goals
:To expand content related to the furry fandom, and improve [[:Category:Furry fandom|existing articles]] to [[WP:GA|good]] or [[WP:FA|featured article]] status, ultimately making furry fandom a [[Wikipedia:Featured topics|featured topic]].

;Scope
:All topics relevant to the furry fandom, including animation, artwork, comics, conventions, games, films, lifestyles, people, stories, and television and radio programs.

== Guidelines ==

* Don't add articles without sources. Lack of good sources is the number one cause of [[m:Deletionism|deletionism]] in [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]].
* Users shouldn't need intimate knowledge of the furry fandom to be able to verify an article. Learn how to use [[Wikipedia:References|references]]. See [[Furry convention]] and [[Samuel Conway]] for examples.
* There is no such thing as a "good" or "bad" fact - it's either verifiable or it's not. If you think it may be misleading, explain the context, but let readers come to their own conclusions.
* Be careful copying from WikiFur. Some information may be inappropriate for Wikipedia. Further sources will probably be required. If you do copy, use an appropriate attribution template.
* ''Link'' to WikiFur only if it goes beyond Wikipedia's maximum depth of coverage. Use "[[WikiFur:Article name|Article name]] at WikiFur" or "[[WikiFur:Article name]]", not just "[[WikiFur:Article name|Article name]]". Add to External links.
* Avoid adding the [[Template:WikiProject Furry|project banner]] to an article's talk page unless the article shows a clear relation to this project's topic. If it's not clear, add relevant information to the article first.

=== New articles ===

Please feel free to list your new Furry-related articles here (newer articles at the top, please). Any new articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the [[Template talk:Did you know|Did you know?]] box on the [[Main Page]].

=== Requested articles ===

* Lists of reputable furry forums and non-yiff sites, primarily for the use of those new to the fandom
*:Things to bear in mind is that Wikipedia is not a web directory, and there is a lack of reliable sources on the topic. I imagine a list could be written in close to an encyclopedic manner (see [[list of furry conventions]]), but defining what "reputable" is concerns me, as does the idea that we would censor it based on a sexual content. What business do we have hiding such sites from anyone? The closest I think we could come to an actual article is something like [[history of furry fandom]], which would discuss the larger sites in a historical context. A pure list is probably best left to others, such as the [http://www.ursamajorawards.org/ReadList.htm Recommended Anthropomorphics List].

::This has been partially implemented at [[furry fandom#Websites and online communities]], however it does not contain any specific forums (just community forums) as none of them stood out as notable, nor does it restrict itself to PG sites (as Wikipedia is not censored). [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] ([[User talk:GreenReaper|talk]]) 18:06, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
*''[[Better Days (comic)|Better Days]]'' (see [[WikiFur:Better Days|WikiFur]]) - will need good sourcing. Add to [[Better Days|disambig]] on creation.
*''[[Two Kinds (Webcomic)|Two Kinds]]'' needs to be added...
* [[Niic the Singing Dog]], furry singer-songwriter from Philadelphia. [[Special:Contributions/66.87.149.228|66.87.149.228]] ([[User talk:66.87.149.228|talk]]) 04:33, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
* [[Biggest Little Fur Con]], furry convention in [[Reno, Nevada]] first held in 2013. [[Special:Contributions/66.87.148.53|66.87.148.53]] ([[User talk:66.87.148.53|talk]]) 18:42, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
