Revision as of 17:01, 29 October 2021
If you're interested in helping out the Emulation General wiki but don't know where to start, here are some things we'd appreciate help with.
Low effort
- Updating emulator versions. You can find news and new releases on EmuNations, Zophar's Domain and AEP Emulation Page.
- Updating the News section on the main page.
- Correcting any redirect that links to another redirect instead of a page.
- Finding categories to put these pages in.
- Finding categories to put these categories in.
- Tagging pages that need it with {{stub}}, {{Outdated}} or {{WIP}}.
- Checking Short pages and tagging them with either {{stub}} if they should be longer or {{delete}} if they fill no function.
- Fixing spelling and grammar issues.
Moderate effort
- WIP articles – These are new articles that are not yet ready for the main page and need to be improved.
- Outdated articles – These articles contain information that might no longer be accurate and need to be updated.
- Articles stubs – These articles are stubs and need to be expanded with more information.
- Update/create new emulator pages - Copy the template below, add {{WIP}} if you need help or intend to finish the page later, add {{stub}} if everything is finished but it should be longer.
High effort
- Wikipedia copies
- These are articles we took from Wikipedia. The source article may either contain updated information beyond what we've copied, causing us to stagnate and provide potentially incorrect information, or showcase a subject in a manner that may stray from its relevance in emulation. The best way to deal with these articles is to rewrite them, but in their current form they require a high degree of knowledge in their fields in order to break them down for readers.
Emulator page template
Here's our current layout for an emulator page. Copy-paste this if you are creating a new emulator page or use it if a page needs updating. If you need an example, you can check out our Infobox emulator template page.
{{Infobox emulator |title = |logo = |logowidth = |developer = |version = |active = |platform = |architecture = |target = |compatibility = |accuracy = |website = |prog-lang = |support = |license = |source = }} '''Emulatorname''' is an open-source [[Nintendo Entertainment System emulators|Nintendo Entertainment System emulator]].
