If you ~~have covered~~ an ~~incident within~~ this ~~backlog~~, please make sure to delete the row from this page in order to prevent confusion. Additionally, all sources should be inserted within the 'refs' section of the table, and take advantage of '<nowiki/>'''insert reference'''<nowiki/>' via ''''ctrl + shift + k'''<nowiki/>' so that the sources are quick to add to future articles.

This page is dedicated towards providing a communal list for users to submit potential articles to feature on the wiki, and to give editors inspiration on what pages they might want to add to the wiki. If you create an article based on an entry from this list, or see that someone else has done so, please make sure to delete the row from this page in order to prevent confusion.

~~Any content submitted~~ to ~~this~~ page does not necessarily require any sort of quality*, ~~just~~ the ~~SparkNotes~~ that ~~can be properly elaborated upon for~~ a ~~future article.~~

Sources should be inserted within the 'refs' section of the table. If using the visual editor, take advantage of '<nowiki/>'''insert reference'''<nowiki/>' via ''''ctrl + shift + k'''<nowiki/>' so that the sources are quick to add to future articles. If using the source editor, feel free to cpy and paste the formatting from other correctly formatted references on the page. The more sources you include with an article idea, the more likely it is that others will pick the article idea up and run with it, soplease attempt to include a good variety of sources!

~~<nowiki>*</nowiki>excluding sources~~, ~~please make sure there is some quality with any source~~ you ~~include here~~.

Please take note of the wiki's [[Consumer Rights Wiki:Inclusion guidelines|Inclusion crietria]] when submitting article suggestions. If you see article suggestions here which do not fit the Wiki, feel free to remove them, leaving your reasoning in an edit note.
