I've been working on this wiki and interactive map of translated German-language folk tales since last June, and while there are always more tales to add, the wiki is functionally complete.

Please take a look, and tell me if there's anything that could be improved!

Woav! That's super cool and a great idea. How about the various levels of subcategories (spirit, demon, demonic possession, etc.) get their own maps? Less an improvement and more of a feature.

I have already started a few such thematic maps, although there is still a lot of work to do.
