It's here!

We have launched Fanlore, the OTW wiki for fan information. This one has been in the works awhile, and it's taken a lot of work on the part of a lot of people to bring it live. So thank you to everyone who has helped so far, and to everyone else...Now's your chance! Go sign up for an account and set up a user page to tell your fannish story: how you got into fandom, and your own thoughts on fannish life. Not to mention all that factual stuff on source media and stories and zines and communities and everything else that makes up this loose collective of people called fandom. It's a pretty blank slate right now, so go for it and add things. Give it a try.

How do I add something to the archive? I don't have enough stuff for a complete article but it should be mentioned because it was important back in the day.

Once you create an account, you can go to the article you want to edit and click the edit button. That will let you make changes and add what you want; if possible, add a line under 'summary' at the bottom so we know what was changed when we look at the 'recent changes' listing. Then you can save it and be done.

what do I do to create an article ab initio?

Once you create an account, you can start a new page:

http://fanlore.org/wiki/Help:Starting_a_new_page

Type 'stub' into the search box, and it will show you stub articles that have been created. Select one, and then go to 'edit' on the top tabs. You can select the code, copy it, and then paste it for your new article, changing the information as fits for your new page.
