{{Heading|Why Have This Wiki?}}
Comics have long been a male-dominated field, but they have never been exclusively male. Female creators have been around since the beginning, as writers, artists, editors, even owners of comic book publishers. Women are still growing in prominence in today's market, though they're still in the minority. We wanted an area independent of any other wiki or database to really focus on women's contributions to comics. In addition, we recognize that not all female creators (as well as male) count as "notable" by the Other Wiki's standards, and this is a place where they can be included regardless.

Comics have long been a male-dominated field, but they have never been exclusively male. Female creators have been around since the beginning, as writers, artists, editors, even owners of comic book publishers. Women are still growing in prominence in today's market, though they're still in the minority. We wanted an area independent of any other wiki or database to really focus on women's contributions to comics. In addition, we recognize that not all creators are "notable" by the Other Wiki's standards, and this is a place where they can be included regardless.

Everything involving female creators and comics, from all over the world and throughout history. Every creative role—writers, pencillers, inkers, colorists, letterers, and editors; every comics form—comic books/graphic novels, manga, newspaper strips, webcomics. It all belongs here. Also, this wiki is trans and non-binary inclusive, regardless of a creator's gender assignment at birth. While the general goal is to showcase people who, at any point in their life, have been subject to a lack of perceived-male privilege, we're not out to police anybody's identity. If you think you belong on this wiki, then you do.

Everything. Add pages about your favorite creators. Record the history of women in comic books, comic strips, gag cartoons, editorial cartoons, or manga. Make a page about female comics creators from your country. Visit the Stubs category and see which articles need help. Consult the Grand Comics Database, Lambiek Comiclopedia, Who's Who of American Comic Books 1929-1999, ComicBookDB, and the Women Who Draw database for ideas and research. Please check out the rules and style guide before you get started.
