Hello all, I'd like to take a moment to preface this by saying that I have no idea what I'm doing here, so bear with me.


So, about a year ago, I noticed that the Endless Legend Wiki was in pretty bad shape; lots of pages were missing or stubs, formatting was pretty inconsistent, a lot of the artwork was missing, etc. For the wiki that claimed to be the "Official" Endless Legend Wiki, it was in a pretty sorry state, and from what I had seen, not had any significant updates for a few years. So, since I really love this game and had a lot of free time at that point, I decided to start working to improve the wiki.


Since then I've made quite a bit of headway, gotten myself promoted to admin, and done what I could to improve the wiki to the best of my ability. However, for most of that time, I've largely been the only one doing so. A few other users have popped in to make edits from time to time, but it's otherwise been a one-man show over there for the better part of a year.


While I am fairly proud of the work I've done thus far, having one person do most of the work to maintain a wiki isn't really how a wiki's supposed to work; ideally, it should be a community effort, so that there are a number of people with different levels of knowledge on the subject matter coming together to contribute to the community's knowledge base as a whole. I can only work so fast, I only know so much, and there's no telling if one day life decides to just take a shit on my plans and I suddenly can't work on the wiki anymore.


Now, I'm not exactly the most socially active person (I spend my free time editing a wiki for god's sake), so I haven't done any kind of community outreach thing like this before, but it's kinda necessary for all the reasons I mentioned before. So I'd basically just like to put out an open invitation for anyone who wants to contribute to the wiki in some way to do so. If there's any interest in making a Discord server or something like that specifically for discussions about wiki work I can do that, just let me know. And heck, even if you've just got a suggestion for how to further improve the wiki, drop it in the comments and I'll add it to my list of work I still need to do.


Thank you all for your time, I'll happily answer any questions, and happy Friday.

I'd be happy to help, but I have very limited time, but a lot of game knowledge. 


If you have specific questions for data you need for the Wiki, feel free to post them here. I will try to get out there and add/edit some pages. It's been a long time since I've been there.

Sorry for the late response, but I keep a rough ToDo list of things on the wiki I need to get to: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZWetaT6DuOvNz8tALoB3vfEJN5CUb8ddO0e0LPX5fMI/edit?usp=sharing


If you have the time, feel free to take a look there and take a swing at whatever catches your fancy.
