Why haven't you contributed to the wiki yet?

[dogscoff]

Yes, I'm talking to YOU!

The new Space Empires Wiki is a project to bring together every scrap of knowledge about all things Space Empires (including SEIII, SEV and Starfury) an make it available to anyone who wants it. Even without the expected influx of noobs when deluxe gets released, it will be an invaluable resource for us all. We need all the help we can get to get it up and running.

- We need help porting the FAQ and Dubious Strategy guide over. This is largely a cut & paste job, but someone has to do it. Besides, you can learn a lot from working with those documents.

- Documentation for everyday SEIV items need to be written. What is a fighter? What can they do? How do I use them. How do I fight them? How much do they cost and what other aspects of SE do they relate to? What other pages can I refer to for information? All this needs to be done.

- There are about a zillion shipsets out there we'd like to document. Each one will get its own page with picture, flag, and as much information as anyone cares to write. If you've created a shipset, you want people to see it and use it, don't you? Give to the wiki and write it up! Free advertising!

- Has your mod got a page of its own? Why not? People will want to read about it, and will want to know where to download it from.

- Have you written some SE-related fiction? Would you like more people to read it? Create a synopsis page for your story (don't post the whole story though=-) and maybe you'll attract more readers.

- Do you remember playing SEIII? Would you like to spend some time playing it to refamiliarise yourself with it and write some articles about how it all works? It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it...

- Are you an SE5 beta tester who wants to spill his guts about the new game in a series of highly detailled wiki articles..? (Just kidding.)

- Have you lurked in this forum for years, learning stuff, maybe asking questions, maybe even answering some? Would you like to give something back to the community that has been so eager to welcome and inform newbies for the last four years? Come to the Wiki and feel good about yourself!

You don't have to do a lot- just do one page! Half a page! Just go to the talk pages and join in the discussions- Opinions are valuable too, you know. If everyone here did something, we'd have a full wiki in about a week!
