Yo dudes, its me Hobo. Wanted to make an announcement now that June is coming up. I hope everyone had a good Memorial Day, and thanks to our troops who gave it all. Now, on to business.
Many know that the wiki side of this community is generally overshadowed by discussion boards (and most of the pages are generally less than acceptable), so the discord has decided It would be cool if we all came together and worked on fixing that. Thanks to @BigDumFish99 for coming up with the idea. Hopefully this works so we can make this a monthly challenge to fix the wiki bit by bit, using themes and rewards every month!
To start with we'll only do 500 edits, just to see how fast we're able to complete it, but this could be subject to change. If we get it done fast enough, we may just push it to even more! With that being said:
THE RULES:
Each month we're only doing one subject, from the time this is posted to the end of June the theme will be birds, or avian dinosaurs. This goes for their pages and any families/clades of bird. Any other edits of other pages would be appreciated but wouldn't be counted towards your points.
You have to self-report your edits here, to cut down on confusion. Just make a brief summary of what you did to the page (Ex: edited Rodriguez Solitaire, removed plagiarism, and added an image), this would count as one point. Now if you take a stub article that is only a sentence or two long (or making a brand new page for a bird) and make it into a page more akin to the wiki's standards would add 5 points. Replacing all plagiarized content in pages with completely original info will also award you those. I'll give an example as the first comment if you guys are confused.
Please don't just make your edits super low effort (such as just adding an image or a couple categories), that won't count here mostly due to it being an easy way to cheese the system and would clutter pages and this post to an unnatural degree. I'd like to be able to count these well.
Please be civil towards each other, and don't start edit wars or anything.
Oh and please only respond to this post to report your edits or ask any questions. Anything else will be deleted so we can count easier.
Prizes for #1 contributor
