The Sonic Wiki (nee 'Sonic Database') was a brand new section of the site we launched over a year and a half ago, and while we have been encouraged by the positive response to it (despite it being only in Beta), I wanted to find ways we can encourage the worldwide Sonic the Hedgehog community to collaborate and help build the best resource that we possibly can, together.
With that in mind, I am introducing a new Wiki-adjacent feature, called the 'Sonic Wiki Bounty Board'. Here, Sonic Stadium staff will highlight specific areas of the Wiki that need urgent attention, and will offer rewards for users who help complete the assignments and populate the entries with content. You can find it here:
https://www.sonicstadium.org/wiki-bounties/
At the moment, we are offering Sonic Stadium account rewards for all users who contribute - no matter how big or small their involvement! Because we are currently in Knuckles Week, the current Bounties relate to Knuckles-related entries and requests for information. We are offering Rings and exclusive Knuckles Week-themed Achievements as rewards for these particular Bounties, but over time we may add other kinds of rewards too, in order to spice things up.
Looks cool, doesn't it? If not a bit empty. Help us out!
Anyone who is willing to help muck in with some info (and has a Sonic Stadium account) are welcome to come and contribute - if you're interested in helping with a Bounty, simply go to that particular Bounty page and make a Comment accepting the mission. All we ask is that:
- You have a very good grasp of (written) English language
- You do NOT, under any circumstance, copy-paste, plagiarise or otherwise 'steal' content from other wikis or sources (in other words, the information you write up needs to be entirely in your own words)
- You are open to following an evolving Best Practice guidelines document for the Sonic Wiki
Our Sonic Wiki is not built on any kind of Wiki-style platform, so editing and creating content will not be familiar to those who are used to working with Wikipedia and similar outlets (however, it is built on the SSMB platform, so if you are familiar with writing posts on our forums then you will be absolutely fine here). I recommend taking a look through our Page Structure & Elements guide in order to help make the Wiki pages the best they can possibly be.
The more people edit, create and get familiar with this Wiki, the more I want to listen to your feedback and tweak things in order to make it even easier and better. I will be making some changes to the overall design soon based on responses I gathered from our Annual Reader Survey earlier this year, but if you want to add anything (good or bad) then you can let me know via DM on this website, or through the 'sonic-database' channel on our Discord server.
Who knows, we might even get out of Beta soon!
Thank you all in advance for your help and interest! And if you'd rather read wikis than take part in editing them, that's totally fine too! And thank you for your interest in doing that as well!
Onwards an upwards!
