Small, local, or niche genre conventions
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a collection of stub articles about small, local, or niche genre conventions that do not yet warrant their own article. Genre conventions broadly cover the areas of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Gaming, Anime, Comics, Horror, or other similar subject matters.
- See also: Anime convention, Horror conventions, Furry convention, and Gaming convention
It exists to act as an incubator for convention articles as they are created, grow, and eventually mature into self contained articles. It is meant to work in conjunction with List of science fiction conventions.
To create a stub section for a new convention, copy the wikitext from the template section, and paste it into the article in the correct alphabetical position. Replace the generic text with your new text. Create invisible comments specifying the locations of all articles which point directly to that internal section of this article. Like the following example:
<!-- This is an invisible comment. You should use it to list [[this article]] as pointing to this internal section. -->
