Ok, it's time Wookieepedia widen its social media reach. It has been suggested by fans on our Facebook page that we do this, and recently a fan suggested Instagram. We have a Facebook and (lacking) Twitter account, but Instagram is favored by many young people to those too social outlets, and therefore I feel creating an account to reach those fans would be beneficial in making us appear more interested in our readerbase as well as getting our name out to Instagram users. This is a proposal to start a Wookieepedia Instagram account. A SH thread was started for this, and there was general support, so I brought it to the CT. I would be the one manning the account. I would post images, site updates, Star Wars news, quotes, cool articles, etc. on the account. Also, should any other admin or BC wish to have access to the account, I could give the password. The Instagram account would also be an official friend of Wookieepedia. There isn't really much else I can think to add to this, so let's get to the vote.

  11. It appears this is a fait accompli, what with the account already created. That said, if we can keep it regularly updated with content that doesn't violate fair use, I'm all for it. jSarek (talk) 05:23, August 25, 2013 (UTC)
    • FWIW, the idea behind creating the account before the CT passing is to prevent trolls from registering it. 1358 (Talk) 14:00, August 27, 2013 (UTC)
      • Actually, it sounds more like some random individual already created it, but willingly handed it over when we expressed interest. That said, regardless of the reason, a Wookieepedia Instagram account already exists; the CT is no longer about creating it, but about approving its existence and going forward with it. (Which I'm fine with, in case it sounds like I'm protesting.) jSarek (talk) 08:14, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

An account has been created in order to preserve the username in case this passes. The name was taken, but the user was kind enough to hand it over without complaint. The account can be found here. MasterFredCommerce Guild(Whatever) 04:25, August 24, 2013 (UTC)
