In a nutshell: Wiki Curators take responsibility for a small section of the wiki, help enhance the pages, review changes by others, proofread, add more links, improve style, and so on. A curator is not necessarily the top authority on a topic, but more of a coordinator for content improvement and a caretaker for existing content.

With a more official structure for keeping the wiki tidy also comes a change to prevent obsolete tags from getting in the way of said organizing: Any page tagged with the Template:Work in Progress stating "Please contact original author before making changes" are null and void unless also noted on this page with an estimated short-term completion date. Several pages have gone inactive with that tag on it discouraging new people to take over. By requiring an active note here with an estimated timer we'll prevent that and encourage people to either finish or release work to other interested authors.

Areas in need of a curator

Note that there are likely already experts on these topics and listing pages here is in no way a complaint or indication that the pages are not already well taken care of. We just want to make it official :D
