Contest Details
How to Enter
Dedicate some time and energy to one of these three wikis:
...by either adding content or making corrections to new and existing wiki pages within. Provide in-depth details, create new pages to add more content, insert images and videos, turn key words into a wiki link -- all of these things help!
Maybe you don't know everything there is to know, but if you know your way around a wiki or seethe in anger whenever you see “your” used instead of “you’re” you have an important role in this, too!
When
From July 1, 2014 to July 31, 2014 11:59 PM Pacific Time, we have faith that you can become the end-all, be-all expert on one of these games.

How will edits be counted?
We're looking for quality, not necessarily quantity, (though that's nice too). We ask that you make a minimum number of 20 Edits on a Wiki to be eligible. What's more important than numbers, though, is how helpful the information is, how clearly and cleanly it's written, and the quality of the spelling and grammar. Well-formatted images also help if you can add them (468 pixels in-line is best, with single-line spacing from the text).
You can make as many edits as you want, but only really helpful and legitimate edits will be counted. Either way, our Wiki editors and moderators will be tracking all activity on those wikis so show your best work!
Judging Criteria For Edits
We will keep track of both quantity and quality of your edits made throughout the course of the contest.
Contributions to the wiki by an individual contributor will be measured using the following criteria:
- 30% Importance/Relevance - Does the contribution fulfill a request from the Contributor Challenge, or fulfill reader needs?
- 50% Depth - Is the contribution minor, or complete?
- 20% Quality - Does the contribution require heavy copy-editing or is it well-written and -formatted?
Who Is Eligible?
Residents of the continental United States plus Hawaii and Alaska. Trust us, if we could include everyone we most definitely would. Winners will be announced approximately 2-weeks after the contest’s conclusion.
