Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Contributing
How to contribute to EDFM.
Current stage
The project is in initial setup. Public account creation and anonymous editing are disabled while the foundation is being built (see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Current Project Status). This is expected to change — this page will be updated with the actual process once contributor accounts are opened up.
What contribution will look like
- Editing: once opened, edits go through the normal wiki edit flow. Significant or gameplay-fact-bearing changes should be flagged
{{Needs review}}until checked against Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Verification Policy. - Screenshots: see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Screenshot Policy before uploading anything.
- Sourcing: see the source quality guide (in the technical documentation, `/opt/edwiki/docs/source-quality-guide.md`) for what counts as a good source.
- Tone: see Elite Dangerous Field Manual:Editorial Policy.
Reporting problems
Until a public process exists, use the article's talk page to flag inaccuracies, and tag the article with {{Unverified claim}} or {{Draft warning}} as appropriate rather than leaving unflagged uncertain content.
