That's good news. :) So I guess I'll make the first proposal:
- T/I: This mash-up of media genres needs your help. Improve *comedy horror*, today's #wikiTAFI. - F/G: This mash-up of media genres needs your help. Add sources and improve content at *comedy horror*, today's #wikiTAFI. (The "Comedy horror" article - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comedy_horror - would be added as a link afterwards). The TAFI article changes every Monday, so after this status update, the next one will take place in 3 days.
