Rules and Point Values
I'm going to flagrantly steal bgobandit's point system from last year's wiki drive (with some modifications):
5 points: Enormous content additions, like writing a guide from scratch or completely rewriting one to be much better.
3 points: Major content additions, such as documenting large PRs.
2 points: Minor content additions, like adding an item to a list. Corrections of factually incorrect information. Image stuff. Mirroring changes from PRs on GitHub.
1 points: Spelling errors and similar trivial edits. Limit: One point per editor per page.
-1 points: Obvious attempts to game the score system.
** Generally, this means the best "large" 5-point contribution, as judged by myself.
"I don't know where to start! Where do I find stuff that needs to be worked on?"
I'm glad you asked! I'd look at:
"I don't know how to edit the wiki?!"
No worries! Feel free to post here if you ned help, or check out the MediaWiki documentation on editing and formatting. I'll count your contribution even if it needs some formatting work! Don't be afraid to be bold with your contributions!

"It won't let me edit any pages"
You have to link your forum account to your byond username to edit the wiki. See here

If you have a forum account, you have a wiki account
No excuses for not participating.

Changelog
  • 23-1 Added this changelog for the sake of T R A N S P A R E N C Y
  • 23-1 Added a leaderboard, hr tags to split sections up a little bit.
  • 23-1 Added a link to the starting edit after which all edits will be counted.
  • 24-1 Updated the leaderboard
  • 26-1 Updated FAQ -MSO
  • 4-2 Added byond memebership prize -MSO

Might not be 2 per image.
Might not be 2 per image if images are related.
Same with adding multiple items to a single list.

calzilla's edits to the starter guide said osmething about sybil "being more robust" so take that with ag rain of salt I undid calzilla's edits to the start guide because it was fucking "sybil is more robust and has better players"

I'm hoping to work on the mapping guide and the starter guide if qbmax falls through

Updated all five active maps' pages with locally-hosted full-resolution renders and deleted relevant dead links. The renders could be improved but they're easier to maintain than manually stitching together in-game screenshots.

How'd you do them? FastDMM has a built in tool to take pictures of an entire map if that sounds easier

Custom tool, supports things like smoothing, computer screens, and hiding underfloor pipes which I don't think FastDMM does.

Not entirely sure that "Creatures" is safe but it seems like everything else on this list could easily be blasted.

creatures page is pretty much covered by the "Guide to races", which covers the hand-possessing ones in quite great depth.

Please, if you are uploading an image, use a sensible name and check if it's already been uploaded. You can check for images by prefixing with " File: " on the search bar.

A yearly plea not to add maps and lists of the exact location of loot to every ruin.


Image

A detailed guide on how to finish a maze is a good example of the wiki going past telling people how to play the game and reading more like a strategy guide.

Yes I know it is open source but if checking the code wasn't a hurdle to the majority of players we wouldn't need a wiki at all

Hey, I get not putting walkthroughs for the shiny OP loot ruins, but could we maybe keep the page and use it for the ones with ghostspawns?

I'm gonna replace it with a page explaining why we don't have a page for ruins at Neds request

Related question: If you have a dedicated temple to a specific god, will residents/visitors begin to worship it? Is there a chance they will add that gods to their list of worshiped deities?
