This collections of Wikipedia Zines on Are.na could be an inspiration for the WMNYC zine @Pharos is brainstorming. Ping: @Pacita (WikiNYC) https://www.are.na/multi-studio-wikipedia-zines/zine-upload - Wil540 art (talk) 15:46, 10 April 2025 (UTC)

Why don't we merge this with the Fanzine article?

Sorry I'm mainly from Catalan & Spanish Wikipedia, but stumbled upon this page and also Fanzine and I don't really get why there is not a disambiguation page in this case, which confuses in my opinion a little bit the current uses of "zine" as "fanzines" in popular culture and knowledge.

I'm a zine librarian and would not like to see these pages merged. They both have significant histories tied to each term. I've made some edits to the lead paragraph that clarify a fanzine is just one type of zine, along with, for example, perzine or punk zine. Skvader (talk) 13:43, 28 May 2025 (UTC)

Modern zine conventions.

It seems to me that this article could use additional information regarding modern zine conventions and trends. A good source has already been mentioned in this talk page however, I have a couple more that I feel could be incorporated into this article to increase modern representation. All sources are credible and academic. 2nd source can also be used to increase global representation in this article, I know other Wiki pages already exist but a brief overview of zine culture across the globe would be beneficial. - Berrcm25

Section Organisation

Hello,

From reading this article I've gotten a strong impression that the sections are disorganised (comparatively) unexpected, and do not help the article read consistently or in a composed manner. Hence I tagged it, however I am no expert on zines and can't make fixes beyond the obivous so for a talk topic it would be good to ask, what would be a better article structure here?

Thanks, MKH1020 (talk) 19:03, 21 May 2026 (UTC)
