Wiki Editorial

## What is the Editorial

The Editorial is a group of editors that are dedicated to the maintenance and upkeep of the **Freeman: Guerrilla Warfare** Wiki. Although anyone from the community can contribute to the wiki, these are members that are dedicated. You can either apply to join the Editorial or be invited. No matter the way you join, it is all still the same.

Public Wiki Editors can still do valuable work on the wiki and that is very much appreciated, however, the Editorial is a place for those who would like to constantly dedicate their time to the wiki.

The Editorial is something I decided to create so that everyone working on the Wiki can get the help they need with creating and modifying content and also discuss with other players who also have the same interest.

## Editorial Tasks

### The Tasks of the Editors are as follows:

* Creating and Maintaining content on the FGW Wiki.
* Uploading relevant media.
* Reading over articles and checking for mistakes. (Grammar, spelling, punctuation etc.)
* Keeping articles up to date with new content.
* Managing the infoboxes of items and their values.
