Never posted here before so here goes: can we change Promoted Fanboy and Ascended Fanboy to Promoted/Ascended Fan? There's no need to use a gendered term if what it's talking about can be either male or female. Plus, on this site, the Fan Boy (and Fangirl) article refers to the negative stereotype while fan is neutral.

Using fanboy exclusively is as silly as using fangirl. It cuts out half the population for no reason when there's a perfectly good term that doesn't.

Locking because we need a much better reason than this to do all the work.
