Team

There are a few people who are constantly trying to improvethe site to the best of their ability, most of them have even been working on it since the very beginning. If you want to know what they are up to at the moment check out their user pages.

But of course the site couldn't have gotten to this point without all the other community volunteers such as all the contributors, translators and editors.

Community

Like Wikipedia, a wiki is a site where anybody -- not just administrators or members -- can edit any page. Wikis are best used for building a collaborative knowledge database, especially for the massive amount of information embedded in Star Citizen. The wiki is built and driven by volunteers who want to provide a great wiki for anyone seeking information related to Star Citizen.

Here are examples of the different type of volunteers that we have:

Editors

We are still very much looking for editors, these people help us with the administration of the wiki. Some tasks include moderation of edits and talk pages, preparing pages for translation, marking pages for translations and will be involved in wiki design/style/convention/rule decisions.

If you are interest or think you will fit the role, please contact any of administrators here or on Discord.

Contributors

The contributors are the driving soul of the wiki, they create new pages and keep everything up to date. We already have quite a few contributors but everyone who want's to help, will be welcomed and be put to good use.

Translators

The translators make the wiki accessible to as many people as we can. However to upkeep a certain level of quality we are going to limit the amount of languages we are going to translate to. If enough people are interested in translating for a language we will consider opening it up.

Contact a editor or administrator for the latest status on our translation system.
