I do realize the increasingly outdated state of unterganger-related pages, and there isn't much that can be done. It ultimately boils down to fellow contributor's collaboration (that includes the untergangers).

Most untergangers are active for only a short term (i estimate it under 6 months) and only during that period they would have the chance to actively update their stats. Once that period is over it's up to the rest of us to do the updating.

The situation is just as bad for popular, leading untergangers. I bet many of them didn't even know they have a page about themselves here in this wiki so all information must have came from fans.

For the rest of us, I take it as a given that most untergangers are more often than not narcissistic when it comes to page editing, preferring to update only their stats. They're not to blame, of course. It's hard to commit yourself checking loads of youtube channels of people you don't know well, channels of inactive untergangers, and channels that mix parodies with other videos.

I've tried to come up with a solution. At one time the List of Untergangers have buttons that updates the stats to the most up-to-date, straight off YouTube's data pool. For various reasons I've pulled it out, and I currently don't have the zeal to work on the scripting. I've also planned to write scripts that fetches latest stats for the unterganger infobox. Same problem - lack of zeal.

So yeah, we cannot blame the untergangers who left their unterganger pages outdated. Most of the time it means they either don't know about it or that they're retired or too busy with IRL stuff. YOU, the reader of this post, however, can make a difference. Look at this wiki from a fan's perspective and you'll find out how much you can contribute. The wiki's open to all!
