—Project

As part of the project's New Year's Resolutions, there is an ongoing effort to decrease the number of stubs to 10%. As of October 21, we are at 11.96%, with 524 articles currently in Category:Stub-Class Professional wrestling articles. It still would be greatly appreciated if members would expand, source and improve stub articles, and a list has been placed on the stub article subpage of stub articles of well-known wrestlers and tag teams that should be fairly easy to improve.
On October 2, the project reached its goal of 150 DYKs, and the number has continued to rise. Congratulations to everyone who helped in achieving this goal.
Based on the members list, there are currently 233 members participating in WikiProject Professional wrestling.
