Welcome to the Bullpen. Named after the main office floor of CTU Los Angeles, the Bullpen is where everyone can come to find out what work needs to be done to improve Wiki 24... and who knows, maybe even save the world.
General editing for grammar, clarity, consistency, as well as new factual content, is always welcome. If you're interested in filling in missing information, this page lists the spots in the wiki that need attention.
To find out more about how to edit, see our help desk. There is also more specific information on our policies, using a consistent style, and the hierarchy of canon.

[edit] Pages needing attention
- Main category: Pages needing attention
The pages needing the most attention are collected and listed in this category. At the top of each of these pages is either a notice for general attention or a pointer for more specific work. (To mark more pages which need these notices, see here.)
[edit] Marking pages for attention
If you are interested in starting a page or adding to an existing one, but don't have all the information available on the topic, please add one of these sets of tags to mark the page as needing work. Each page tagged with one of these templates will automatically be added to this category (see above).
1. For pages which need general attention and user discussion on the article talk page:
- {{Pna}} (view this tag)
2. For pages with unoriginal material (copied from another source):
- {{Pna-copy}} (view this tag)
3. For pages with incomplete sections and important information missing:
- {{Pna-incomplete}} (view this tag)
4. For pages with out-of-universe data (not sourced from within 24):
- {{Pna-realworld}} (view this tag)
5. For pages with little or no information (known as "stubs"):
- {{Pna-stub}} (view this tag)
6. For pages which need to be re-written in the proper verb tense:
- {{Pna-tense}} (view this tag)
7. For pages which have in-universe facts of doubtful veracity:
- {{Pna-unverified}} (view this tag)
8. To nominate an entire page for deletion by an administrator:
- {{Afd}} (view this tag)
[edit] Red links / wanted pages
If you come across any red links, they are links which do not currently have an article associated with them. By clicking on the red link, you can start that article. Once the article has been made, the link will turn blue. You can find a list of red links on the Wanted pages.
[edit] Episode guides
The best episode guides give a scene-by-scene account of the action. Ideally, an episode guide should be detailed enough that someone who missed seeing the episode will feel up to speed, or someone looking for a memorable moment will be able to find it. Link to names and places wherever they appear (once per heading will do), except in the Memorable Quotes section. Please do not copy and paste the episode guide from the Fox.com website. You can use the Fox.com summaries as a resource, but please only submit your own work to Wiki 24.
- To get started on an episode guide, see Creating episode pages.
- For the list of incomplete episode guides, see Incomplete episode guides.
[edit] Novels and comics
Most of our Novels pages need more in-depth information detailing the plot, as well as pages for characters. For more on writing character pages, see Creating novel character pages.
[edit] 24: The Game
We need more in-depth plot information on 24: The Game, as well as articles and screenshots for some of the characters featured there. For the templates to use with characters, see Video game character pages.
[edit] Minor characters and actors
There are minor characters that we currently do not have pages on. If you see someone on the show who was mentioned by name and/or was important to the story, feel free to add a page for them.
Additionally, many actors do not yet have pages. Note that not all actors need pages, just the ones that play main characters and recurring characters, or those who have done other work that may be interesting to 24 fans. If you feel that Wiki 24 would be improved by the addition of an actor page, please feel free to add them.
To get started, see:
- Wanted characters for a list of named characters appearing onscreen that we do not have pages for
- Creating character pages for characters who appear onscreen
- Creating mentioned character pages for characters who are mentioned
- Creating actor pages for actors
[edit] Images
Almost all articles could use at least one screenshot or scanned image. The Articles needing images category lists pages that have no images at all.
[edit] Other places to look
- The Orphaned pages list shows pages that are not linked from anywhere. Create links to those pages from related pages. This is a great way to help if you do not have the time to do much original writing.
- The Insufficient information level 1 category lists pages that have almost no information.
- Please note that the above category is being phased out. Do not link any further articles to it, instead, use the tag options described above in "Marking pages for attention" such as {{Pna-stub}}. Of course, the pages that can still be found in the above category does require your help.
