Changes:
- Change all mentions of "the WWE" to "WWE." (see [1])
- Change all mentions of WWE before May 6, 2002 to "WWF" or "the WWF", including championships and pay-per-views.
- Change all mentions of WWE before March 1979 to "the WWWF", including championships and shows.
- Change all mentions of Juggalo Championship Wrestling before July 2007 to Juggalo Championshit Wrestling. (see [2])
- Change "Total Nonstop Action" to "Total Nonstop Action Wrestling", especially in championships and accomplishments. Titles won in TNA should not be listed under NWA, since the categorization refers to the company they were won in, not the governing bodies. (see [3])
- Change "Category:Professional wrestlers" to "Category:American(/British/Mexican etc.) professional wrestlers" where appropriate.
- Change "RAW" to "Raw" when in text and not title, per context rule by WWE.com.
- Change PPV names to not be italicized.
- Change Brand names to be italicized only when in reference to the television show and not the Brand itself.
- Change to not have wrestling maneuvers (nouns) used as verbs (eg. Avoid "He RKO'd him." Instead use "He performed an RKO on him."), with the exception of maneuvers containing actual verbs. (eg. spear, superkick, powerbomb)
Misc. Projects:
- Restore external links and references from the former blacklisted website Obsessedwithwrestling.com (see: list). Note: All links to Obsessedwithwrestling are to be renamed as Onlineworldofwrestling in regards to the website's name change. (See [4])
- Merging trivia and personal life sections into the main bodies of articles. Also, sourcing trivia and deleting un-notable entries (see [5]/[6])
Adding:
- Add Template:Infobox Wrestler to wrestler bio pages that don't have it
- Add Template:Infobox championship to championship article that don't have it
- Add Template:Infobox Wrestling team to tag team and stable articles that don't have it. Consider converting "profile" sections into infoboxes. (see [7], [8])
- If not much information is available use Paulley's bio profile model in wrestler bios
- Add the {{Pro-wrestling}} template to the talk pages of wrestling articles, and any article edited as part of this project
- If the page needs expanding because it is a stub, please add {{prowrestling-stub}} or {{prowrestling-bio-stub}} to the article where appropriate.
- Add sources to bios so they are in line with the standards for bios of living persons (see [9])

Proposed moves:
Locating and rewriting articles: There are many articles like this floating about Wikipedia that read "Pro wrestler. now dead. won title once". Clean them up, add the correct categories and stub them (when needed). (see: [19], [20])
Correcting links: Articles look better with footnotes as opposed to embedded citations. Try to convert the later to the former.
Photo requests Many wrestling articles need a photo to improve their quality. A list can be found here: Needed Pro Wrestling Photos
