== How You Can Contribute ==
 
Looking for something to do to improve the Wiki, but you are not sure where to start? Here are some suggestions:
 
   
 
== How Do I Help? ==
* '''Expand a stub''' Some articles are merely placeholders, waiting for someone like yourself to come along and expand upon them. For a list of articles in need of further expansion or revision, see [[:Category:Stubs]].
 
 
<big>'''Looking for something to do to improve the Wiki, but you are not sure where to start?'''</big>
* '''Improve and Expand''' – Many articles can be improved and expanded upon. You could roam the site looking for articles that you feel are too vague, missing information, or need re-wording of sentences and paragraphs so that they would be more understandable. If you notice information that is missing from an article, add it.
 
* '''Fix errors''' such as grammar or spelling mistakes. Large quantities of small fixes can greatly improve the quality of the wiki. Additionally, see [[:Category:Outdated articles]] for a list of articles that are currently not up-to-date with the current version of DayZ, for which revision would be very welcome.
 
* '''Write a new article''' – Have we missed a character, location or anything else? [[Help:Starting a new page|You should add it]]. Also see the [[Special:Wantedpages|Wanted list]]. If there are a lot of pages that link to an empty page, you may want to create it.

You can also:
 
* '''Monitoring Articles''', you can monitor the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] and/or [[Special:Watchlist|watch articles]], to catch and fix mistakes.
 
* '''Helping Other Users''', many users don't know some of the ways they can help on the wiki. You could help them out by sharing with them some of your knowledge, and encouraging them to get active and find something to start editing.
 
* You can find a list of useful templates on '''[[:Category:Templates]]''', some of which are documented on '''[[{{ns:project}}:Templates]]'''.
