The Infosphere

We have recently updated the wiki, adding a new default skin. Editors who registered before now will need to update their preferences to use the new skin and may need to fix other preferences, however the old skin will remain available for those not yet ready to update.

To help out around the Infosphere, you can check here, or you can help with:

Merchandise based articles for some of the older products which have yet to be described.
Adding some of the missing commentaries.
Add one of the pages that have been linked to but are yet to be created.
If you are attending an event where the cast or crew of Futurama are to appear, you can take notes and/or a recording, then create an article.
Or check ongoing discussions.
