How to Contribute

Below are the rules on how to contribute to the wiki. Please read if you're interested. Any contributions made without following these rules will be deleted.

Applying to Contribute
Firstly, to apply to contribute, you'll need both a Miraheze account and a Discord account. The Discord account is to expedite the process of discussion and to better catalog who claimed what, or when someone may have dropped a project. Posting what you've edited there can also be helpful.

Once you've joined, please read the rules below, and introduce yourself to confirm your identity. Further below the rules, you'll find out how the server works and how you can help archive games yourself.

Rules for Discord
1. Please respect all other users.

2. Please use the same name as your Miraheze account and vice-versa.

3. When going to claim an evogame to archive, please write down that you're going to claim it, or help with archiving it. By agreeing to archive it, you also agree to either make a final evoweb if one isn't available, or to write down how everything evolved from eachother and ask another user to see if they can make an evoweb in your stead.

4. Please keep your personal issues out of the server. We're unequipped to deal with such issues, so please talk to someone you trust instead. This is a server made exclusively to archive evogames.

5. Please don't ping the mods unless necessarily. If you need to ping others working on a project, they will have a role for that.

6. Please don't link to the games on the server. This might sound-counter intuitive, but I'd like to prevent an accidental influx of users into servers if they're not prepared for it.

Server Navigation
Now that you've read the rules, please read below to help orient yourself.

INFO & RESOURCES SECTION:

-

WELCOME!

rules - links to here

landing-pad - signals who joins

announcements-and-updates - self-explanatory

TEXT CHANNELS

general-chat - for talking more generally to the archivists. Please consult the rules on acceptable topics.

edit-application - to apply to become an editor.

CONSERVATION EFFORTS

fully-archived-evogames - for projects who have been successfully archived

inprogress-archiving - documenting what evogames are being worked on, and how many are working on archiving them

unclaimed-evogames - unarchived evogames awaiting archiving. You may ask here if you can claim them. Again, consult the rules to know what's expected of you if you claim it. If you know of an evogame that isn't currently on this list, you may talk to the Evo Archivist account so they may see (and if it's a discord, join) the evogame.

lost-evogames - evogames that cannot be recovered unless found otherwise. Many of these are missing all of their images or cannot even be confirmed to exist until further notice. Should still be archived in text only

-

'ARCHIVIST'S DISCUSSION AREA:

-

All channels here are named after the projects currently being worked on. If you can see any channels here, that means you're working on them or a mistake happened and you can see the project. Consult the mods if this happens. Generally they will be broken down as such:

game-discussion - to delegate tasks and to talk about who's done what

archiving-process - acts as a place to post everything that's been archived so far before posting it here

archiving-process-2 - just in case it's necessary
