Getting started
quote RedemptionPersonally I believe the easiest way to get started is to browse the wikis to get a feel for them.
Learn the basic markup by clicking on the edit tags so you know some basic editing. This page here on Naruto has some nice basic markup that you can check out to get an idea.
When you feel you are ready, find some small pages and see if there's anything you can help add to them. Or perhaps find a page that has some grammar or spelling errors that you can correct. You can find small pages using a special page called the "Short Pages". (Check out the Short Pages for Metal Gear and Smackdown). These special pages list all the pages from shortest to longest, and are a great place to start.
If you are more brave you can find "Wanted" pages. These are pages that other contributors or Wiki Staff have linked from other pages but have not been created yet. Try to do more than create a page with one short sentence - write as much as you can think of to create a healthy start to the page. If you can only remember 3 sentences that's already FAR BETTER than a placeholder like "New page." If you are going to do that I would suggest you don't bother since it prevents another person from coming along and creating a proper page. To see wanted pages, check out the Wanted Pages for Zelda.
Another way you can help is to flesh out the 'hub' pages. We need linked lists of characters, missions, etc from those pages. In this way you can help build up the Wikis by generating "Wanted" pages.
Remember, every little bit helps to improve the Wikis! So if you aren't up yet to creating new pages try to help improve existing ones or even roam around finding small things to tweak.Ask the Wiki Staff and Others for Help
Many Wiki Staff are experienced in editing portals, and are familiar with what we're looking for. Also, many of our members have experience editing Wikis and can help out with editing markup and other questions, so don't be afraid to ask! That's what the Best Practices and Help forum is here for.
What to Contribute
- Check the following pages for some other pages to work on.
- Short Pages
- Wanted Pages
- Lore on Dynasty Warriors
- Walkthrough style guides
- Longer written pages are more highly desired. One sentence pages aren't what we are looking for.

There should be a better terms of entry for this giveaway. How are we supposed to come up with excellent submissions to the wiki for a game we don't own?
Tell you what, mail me the game, and I'll make you the best *bleep*ing wiki about it ever after I beat it.

You guys are pretty rude. So what if there is only one? There is still something to win, stop being ungrateful whingers.
You should do work for the site anyway whether there's a prize up for grabs or not, but if you're not even motivated by a prize then it's pathetic.
I'm still having a hard time trying to coordinate myself due to my illness but I might try for this.

We didn't have to give this away at all, one of us at the office could have taken it home and added it to our game collection but we LOVE YOU ALL so here it is to win.
@cartel you can add information to the DW wiki on *anything* DW, it does not have to be about DW 6: Empires. Also, even if you properly link things, fix typos, add images that all counts as contributing to the wiki, you don't need to type up paragraphs upon paragraphs of text to stand a good chance at winning (but it does help).
