I had an inexplicable surge of community spirit and decided to become involved in Fanlore, the OTW fandom history wiki. (Okay, it was neither inexplicable nor community-spirited, I realized that if I made a page for Boy Meets Boy fandom, I could leave some links there and be able to find them again. But anyways.)
They have a page for the Hugo Awards but there isn't much there. I feel like I have a foot in both the Hugo-fandom world and the AO3-fandom world and would thus be a fine person to improve this page. So far I have added the section there for "Fannish Categories". (I know how to edit wikis now! It is kind of cool.) Here is my question for fellow fandom people: what else should Fanlore know about the Hugos? In particular, are there things that would not be on Wikipedia, that would be interesting to fandom in terms of the Hugos as a fannish enterprise, or in how they intersect (or don't) with transformative fandom?
(I guess if anybody reading this has an opinion about this, they could just go edit the page themself. But, I don't know, maybe someone will have good ideas but not want to bother doing the actual writing-up?)
