It seems like a lot of the content on this wiki lies below the surface without much exposure. I think many people (myself) included just kind of graze the recent activity feed and sometimes look through Featured Authors and Suggested Reading without really digging any deeper. There is a genre listing, but I don't think many people use it for much more than knowing what categories to add.

I've been thinking about ways to make the content of this wiki more visible and accessible, and I thought of something. I know this wiki had an article index a few years ago but it was done away with for being more trouble than it was worth.

My idea is to have an author index. Say, anyone with two or more stories (not counting migrated stories unless you are migrating your own story, such as if you are posting a story you originally posted on NoSleep) that haven't been deleted within a week can voluntarily add themselves to the index, with their username as a link to their user page where people could find their stories listed. Maybe have everyone listed in order of date of joining the wiki or date of posting first story.

Just a thought. Since participation would be voluntary it would hopefully be less of a hassle than the old article index.
