The Homestuck and MSPA music wiki is up to around 400 pages and growing fast thanks to automation, but we need your help to get more expansive!

Hey,
Since myself and some other folks in the unofficialmspafans group started working on the Homestuck and MSPA music wiki (link at the top of the post, in case you missed it last time), we've been expanding it pretty rapidly. I've spent most of the past few days writing software alongside a few other people that we're using to automatically generate pages for individual music tracks based on bandcamp content. Thanks to this, we're growing the wiki by at this point a couple of hundred pages per day, based on how quickly we can process input into a format my software can read.
However, this still leaves a lot of important content unaddressed, and as the wiki is in such early days that is a /lot/ of content. Something particularly that we need to expand upon is pages for musicians and track cover artists, as well as properly providing infobox links to people's works, and the leitmotifs (references) that existing tracks incorporate. With regards to musicians in particular, even some fairly major music team musicians don't even have pages yet, and those who do have yet to see much attention in the form of editing and content. Furthermore, as the track pages are being automatically generated by our bots, the content that we're putting in the stubs is pretty rote and stale.
It'd really be cool if more people helped to add missing content to the wiki (as well as correct some of the formatting glitches that have been inevitable with variable bot input) and really turn it into an exciting place for document Homestuck music and fan music! Have a favorite piece of Homestuck music, a musician or an artist you admire? Just heading over to the wiki and adding a few sentences on a page for them would help us out a ton. If you wanted you could even go more in depth. One thing we're hoping to get more of eventually is background information on album projects and specific tracks, so if you've been involved in any Homestuck music projects yourself, in any way and of any variety (the album covers all fan content, as well as official and collaborative works, including solo tracks by fan musicians and fan adventure albums), we'd love to see any contributions you may have.
This is a community wiki and it's really open for anyone to contribute to so long as they have an interest in Homestuck music! The variety in both official and fan music efforts are really extensive, and so being able to compile a more in depth and cross-referenced centralized knowledge base would be a really cool thing, I reckon.
Thanks all, and I hope you get some use out of the wiki!
