Feed The Beast Wiki:Ye ol' Editathon (2018)

The Ye ol' Editathon (an editathon) is an event for any and all FTB Wiki contributors to take part in. It starts on March 30th 2018, 0:00 AM UTC and ends on April 6th.

Participants should focus on documenting oldish, discontinued mods that would otherwise be ignored. For the purposes of this editathon, this will be defined as mods created for a version before 1.10 and not being actively continued. This is a pretty broad range of mods, and includes documentation of RedPower 2, Intangible, DartCraft, Thaumcraft 4, Witchery, PowerCraft, etc., but not documentation of GregTech 6, Quark, Botania, etc. Yes, this is very open compared to the other Ye ol' Editathons, but I want to give options for everyone. Participants do not need to edit continuously, although they are encouraged to sink a fair amount of time into the editathon.

It is recommended to stay in contact with other editors through the FTB Wiki Discord or the IRC channel in order to prevent edit conflicts, ask for help and suggestions, and generally improve the experience by sharing it with others.

Sign-ups begin at March 28th! You can sign up late/during the editathon as desired. To sign up, just add your name to the [ participants section].

Newbie help section

 * Not sure how to get started? Maybe try.... the Getting started guide! There are also other pages worth looking at, including the Manual of Style and article creation guideline.
 * If possible, asking for the creation of a tilesheet (what's used to make all of the little pictures) for a particular mod is easier to take care of before the editathon than during. If need be, you might be able to ask an experienced editor to make a navbox for you if you can't be bothered to do that.
 * Collaborating to document a particular mod is certainly possible, but keep in mind MediaWiki as not as good at handling collaborations as something like Google Docs. If collaborating, make sure to communicate with your partners so you don't accidentally write the same article independently, and consider backing up your edits (just copying them into the clipboard before saving is usually good enough) if working on an important page to avoid potential edit conflicts.
 * Don't be shy to ask for help! The Discord or is the best place to do this.

Participants

 * 1)  working on DivineRPG, maybe Thaumcraft 5, GregTech 4, PowerCraft...
 * 2)  pretending to work on Witchery but probably actually just working on a bunch of small mods nobody knows about instead
 * 3)  probably working on Thaumcraft 4.
 * 4)  working on something. Suggestions welcome.
