Added an emulator page template
{{WIP}}[[File:Getinvolved.png|thumb]]If you're looking for ways interested in helping out the Emulation General wiki but don't know where to contributestart, here are some things we 'd appreciate help with. ==Some effort==* [[:Category:Article WIP|WIP articles]] – These are new articles that are not yet ready for the main page and needs to be improved.* [[:Category:Outdated|Outdated articles]] – These articles contain information that might no longer be accurate and needs to be updated.* [[:Category:Article stubs|Articles stubs]] – These articles are stubs and needs to be expanded with more information.
==Low effort==
* Updating [[Special:UncategorizedTemplates|emulator versions]]. You can find news and new releases on [https://www.emunations.com/ EmuNations], [https://www.zophar.net/ Zophar's Domain] and [https://www.aep-emu.de/ AEP Emulation Page].
* 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* Tagging pages that need it with {{t|stub}}, {{t|Outdated}} or {{t|WIP}}.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* [[:Category:Outdated|Outdated articles]] – These articles contain information that might no longer be accurate and need to be updated.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.
* [[#Emulator_page_template|Update/create new emulator pages]] - Copy the template below, add {{t|WIP}} if you need help or intend to finish the page later, add {{t|stub}} if everything is finished but it should be longer.
 
==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.
 
==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 [[Template:Infobox emulator|Infobox emulator template]] page.
