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 [[Special:UncategorizedTemplates|emulator versions]]. You can find news and new releases on [https://www.emunations.com/ EmuNations] and [https://www.zophar.net/ Zophar's Domain].
* Updating the [[Template:News|News section]] on the main page.
* Correcting any redirect that [[Special:DoubleRedirects|links to another redirect instead of a page]].
* Finding categories to put [[Special:UncategorizedPages|these pages]] in.
* Finding categories to put [[Special:UncategorizedCategories|these categories]] in.
* Tagging pages that need it with {{t|stub}}, {{t|Outdated}} or {{t|WIP}}.
* Checking [[Special:ShortPages|Short pages]] and tagging them with either {{t|stub}} if they should be longer or {{t|delete}} if they fill no function.
* Fixing spelling and grammar issues.
 
==Moderate effort==
* [[:Category:Article WIP|WIP articles]] – These are new articles that are not yet ready for the main page and need to be improved.
* [[:Category:Outdated|Outdated articles]] – These articles contain information that might no longer be accurate and need to be updated.
* [[:Category:Article stubs|Articles stubs]] – These articles are stubs and need to be expanded with more information.
* Create new emulator pages - Copy the [[Template:Infobox emulator|Infobox emulator template]] and add {{t|WIP}} if you need help or intend to finish the page later. Usual parts of an emulator page are a short description in the beginning, a ''Download'' section and a ''Overview'' section.
 
==High effort==
;[[:Category:Wikipedia copies|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.
