Black Friday Edit-a-Thon


Getting a database error when you search for an article? There is a problem on the back end, if an article doesn't exist, you are getting an error instead of the prompt to start a new article. We are working on it! In the meantime, it seems the only way to start a new article is by creating a link to a new article title on an existing page (like your own user discussion page) and then following that link and editing it.

Please consider joining dozens of zinesters this Friday to edit and update Zine Wiki!
