Just to play devil's advocate here - letting games that have traditionally happened on the board and are then archived on the wiki actually continue on the wiki isn't necessarily a bad idea.
I've added several entries to the list, and I'm still waiting to hear from the rest of the community (or for said rest of the community to keep adding to it.)
This is a game that happens here on this message board from time to time. You have to participate in the thread when it appears, and then the person who runs the game then adds to the wiki archive-- as a record of the fun taking place HERE on the board.
Participate in the community, and people will play with you.
The wiki is not the hub of our existence. It's merely the index and archive of it.

The wiki is not the hub of the PPC and it is primarily an archive. Many members don't check the wiki regularly. They'd miss out.
Also you'd get infinitely long pages as the same 3 people play a game forever and ever without anybody else in the community seeing their game and having a chance to play.
You're not supposed to edit new entries into the list from the Wiki. It says so on the Things I Am Not Allowed To Do At The PPC main Wiki page (http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/ThingsIamnotAllowedtoDoatthe_PPC).
It works like this:someone (usually Tawaki) will create a thread here on the boards entitled TIANATDATP Part Whatever Number We're Up To At The Moment. Various boarders will then chip in their various silly entries. After a while, the entries are collected and posted onto the Wiki as a single page. I hope that makes sense.
I know it's usually Tawaki who manages the TIANATDATPPC lists, but would there be any reason why I couldn't start a new part?
Just asking... and, no, I am not referring to sex, I'm referring to the TIANATDATPPC game.
I don't think this is set in stone, so a rough estimate will be fine.
