—Project

As part of the project's New Year's Resolutions, there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 10%. As of August 2, we are at 11.96%, with 505 articles currently in Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. It still would be greatly appreciated if members would expand, source and improve stub articles, and a list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve.
Based on the members list, there are currently 225 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling.
The style guide has been updated to reflect the new consensus on the formatting in the "In wrestling" sections of biographies, and the new format can be found at WP:PW/SG#In wrestling. Please help out in converting all biographies to the new format.
