I think TAFI should have been tweeted from @Wikipedia, given it's exclusively a Wikipedia thing and not a movement thing.

I'd like to get this up today because of Halloween. Not sure that hashtag will mean much to folks. I only see one tweet using it, from more than two years ago. What about?
Wikipedia editors - or those wanting to get started - the comedy horror genre needs your help. Get spooky! http://buff.ly/1WnWeL3

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.
