Given the show's reputation (it was on Snark Bait before all examples there got nuked) it might be worth it to add it to Infamous And Controversial Works. Any other opinions?

If you're looking for cleanup help, it might be worth asking around in the Star Trek forum thread for folks familiar with the work.

A lot of Trek recap pages for lesser-regarded episodes (not just VOY; the early seasons of TNG and DS 9 get it a lot too) can get pretty snarky.

It might also be a good idea to make a short-term projects thread.

I have added the series to Infamous And Controversial Works. Agree with ^, and if the other Trek pages have issues the cleanup thread could be expanded to become a general Star Trek cleanup thread.

Yeah, I'd throw Enterprise on there too - it's often been a pet peeve of mine that it's lumped with Voyager as "the meh Trek series."

A general franchise cleanup thread couldn't hurt. We have one for Star Wars, IIRC.

^ Alright, I've added Enterprise as well. I thought about adding that when I added Voyager, actually.

While I would like to start the Star Trek cleanup thread, I know little about Star Trek, and I probably couldn't do a very good write-up for one seeing as I'm not particularly aware of what kinds of problems the shows and their subpages get besides complaining, if any. Maybe someone with more knowledge of the series can start one in Short-Term.

^^Don't forget to rewrite entries that used First-Person Writing, especially the ones that had "This troper" on it.
