There's definitely a Simpsons wikia (http://simpsons.wikia.com/ -  
needs a good kick in the pants though), but I'm not sure what the  
community feels about linking to Wikia, etc. As far as I know/knew,  
Wikia is/was sort of meant to be a place for more... specialist...  
"encyclopedias", although it focuses more on communities, etc. It's  
also an entirely different can of worms, and often article quality  
is... less than good. But it's a thought. Maybe.
