Contribution Guide
If you'd like to contribute there are stubs or outdated articles you can help fix up.
Adding recommended games
Whether a game should be added to the wiki or not just comes down to the question: Do most people on /v/ generally recommend the game? If the answer to that is yes then go ahead and add it, but if not - and even if you personally think it's a great game - it shouldn't be added.
A good resource for recommended games is charts that get posted on /v/, like:
Pages that need updating
Most of them. The majority of this site was made ~2009-2013 so there's a lot that needs updating, even on the more popular systems. And there's a lot of obscure systems that don't have any games listed at all yet: Systems with no recommended games
Exclusives / Definitive releases
To make finding the best version of a game easier, exclusives and the definitive version/port of a game is marked with a colored background. To do this you just need to add the {{Exclusive}} template to the row of a table, like so:
{| class="wikitable"
!Name
!Description
|-{{Exclusive}} <!-- Put it here on the |- -->
!Game
|Exclusive
|-
!Game 2
|Not Exclusive
|}
Adding images
You can either link to external images (hotlink) or upload them to the wiki.
External images
This method is preferred as it will reduce backend needs and will typically load faster for users.
To post an external image, use the {{External Image}} template.
Using IGDB for images is preferred for their common image size/format and low filesizes.
Uploading images
You can upload an image up to 4MiB, although please convert/compress/resize them if possible.
The wiki supports these formats: png, gif, jpg, webp, avif, jxl, svg
