How can I contribute?

**Fix Errors:** We all make grammar mistakes so if you see one, please correct it. Every time a small error is fixed, the wiki becomes a bit better.

**Suggestions:** Suggestions are crucial to keep the community and the dev with an open mind, maybe if your suggestion gets enough votes then it could be added.

**Improving:** Some articles may not sound right, may miss information or sound hollow, well expand it write more detailed, remember quality over quantity, get to the point quickly and understandable: Sometimes videos are the best way to describe an image to you.

**Articles:** Have you seen a space in the wiki? Then, write an article. Remember to read the rules below first.

**Users:** If you see a lost user who wants to help write an articles but does not know how to, by all means jump in and help, encourage them to be more active and write more to help the wiki.

**Translate:** With translations the pages will be more accessible for many worldwide users and help those in need a bit more.

**Report Bugs:** Reporting bugs for Mist is the most important contribution as it will enable the game to grow closer and closer to a more polished game. You can report bugs do the Steam Discussion Page which is always under surveillance or at our Discord in the #bug-report chat.

Do
--

* Post any information you know that doesn’t already exist in the article, or update existing, outdated information.
* Post new articles with information not currently in the wiki, e.g. new items or concepts.
* Post bug information in the Bug section, not in any other sections.
* Use Talk page to discuss with other users about your opinions, questions and consults related with the article and sign your comments with the Signature button.

## Do not

* Delete contents of an entire page because the item or feature no longer exists in the game. Please contact a mod/admin if you have an issue.
* Post bugs in another article that is not the designated section.
* Post repeated information., although you can refer to other sections with a hyper link if need be.
* Post speculative or personal opinions in articles.
* Negate the information in the articles. If you think it’s wrong, correct it, but if you are not sure, use the general chat instead.
* Speak in first person, attribute contributions or sign in the articles. Please use neutrality. Also, try to reduce the amount of direct references to the reader (i.e saying ‘you’) unless it is a guide. Use things like ‘player’ or ‘survivor’ instead.
* Create new articles with no information on it or are only a request for other users to fill it in. The article will be deleted as irrelevant. If you wish to start a page but don’t know how, discuss the process with another user.
* Post nonsensical, intentionally false information or spam. You will be banned for that. Also, the spam articles will be deleted/reverted as soon as an admin detects it.

Over all use your **common sense** when editing and in the community !
