Planned Phases
This is still the fourth Pottersues, but this actually ties back to when I took over for the third. The original plan was for them to stick around a bit and do a bit of cleanup regarding some of the older entries by adding tags and getting the memories up to date. That never happened, leaving the task up to me. However, this is actually one of the reasons some of the features for Pottersues went away, such as the Golden Bubotuber Awards and the stats every hundred Sues.
The other thing which happened when I first started was I started numbering the entries. I found this helped me double check which entries were already featured here on Pottersues, but I faced a few problems. One was needing to number the older entries and the other was getting off on the numbering of the entries I've done. We're actually not anywhere near the number of entries the latest entries say we are. Basically, this means I've got to finish numbering and adding tags to the older entries so it is easier for people to finds stuff, but I've got to get the newer entries numbered correctly.
Originally, I'd done this one entry at a time which was honestly taking to long, but I found myself having to go back and fix some of the numbering on older entries when I realized I'd gotten off. Thankfully, I finally have a game plan which includes a way of numbering the older entires without having to go to far back in renumbering, but doing things in phases. By thankfully, I managed to get over 250 entries done in one day from the older entries prior to me becoming Pottersues.
Phase 1 - Getting all the entries properly numbered. What does this mean?
In fact, any suggestions for tags? I'll later on add an entry which lists the tags along with how I group them. That way I can get some feedback on cleaning them up before I actually go into this particular phase of the project.

Phase 1 - Getting all the entries properly numbered. What does this mean?
- I can bring back the Golden Bubotuber Awards, but for that I am looking for suggestions on how to reimpliment it, particularly since there doesn't seem to be as many individuals following the blog. I do know I want to do the awards for the current hundred which come up, but go back and hold them for the ones which haven't been done.
- It will be less likely for a story to be featured twice as I can double check this a lot easier, but this means I can go back and feature some older stories.
- Nobody likes a dead link.
- I'll also be going back and checking the links I'd striked out for the HP fanfic site as that is back up and running.
- Minions can find as many entries as possible for a given tag.
- I can bring back the stats.
