Feed The Beast Wiki:Ye ol' Editathon (2017)

The Ye ol' Editathon (an editathon) is an event for any and all FTB Wiki contributors to take part in. It starts on July 24th, 0:00 AM UTC and ends on August 1st, 0:00 AM UTC (hopefully the time will be less messed up this time). This editathon was originally planned to take place on February 24th, to celebrate Feed The Beast's 5-year anniversary, but due to RetroBTM being planned at the same time, it was canceled and delayed until now. This editathon is a bit close to the Let's Just Do It Editathon, but that's only because there's been very few editathons throughout 2017 compared to last year.

Participants should focus on documenting older mods and older versions of mods, with "older" being defined as no longer in widespread use; most mods from Minecraft 1.6 and older versions meet this criteria. Although one might argue 1.7.10 is old because it was released just a little more than three years ago, modpacks like Infinity are still very popular and mainstream (1.7.10 is the most popular version still according to this statistic released by JourneyMap) and thus most mods from that time period won't be counted. Participants do not need to edit continuously or anything like that, although they are encouraged to sink a fair amount of time into it.

Mods that are considered "obsolete" are encouraged over mods that are still popular today. For example, this would include RedPower 2, Thaumcraft 3, XyCraft, but not MineFactory Reloaded or IndustrialCraft 2, although you're free to document what you want.

There's no prizes or anything, this editathon is just for the funz. If you're just in for the prize then you should feel bad about yourself.

It is recommended to stay in contact with other editors through 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 started at July 21st, 0:00 AM UTC. You can sign up late/during the editathon if desired.
