Help Out

Things To Do There's a number of ways you can contribute to better our wiki here at Jpop Stop! Here's a few suggestions: Create a new article: it may seem obvious but without articles the wiki wouldn't exist! Start here. If you're unsure what article to write then check out the most wanted pages for inspiration. Improve our articles: if you read an article and spot a mistake or you can update it with new information then dive right in an edit it. If you're unsure then post your question first on the article's talk (discussion) page. Start or join a project: projects exists to help members come together to collaboratively improve a particular subject. More details below. Upload better images: seen a page with missing or poor images? Have something better? Then upload your version. Found copywritten content: then flag this to a staff member for review. Cleanup Project A community-wide project is on the go to focus on "cleaning up" articles throughout the wiki. These will typically have formatting problems, use incorrect templates, have missing information or missing files. They may also be categorised incorrectly. If you wish to help out, then take a look at the cleanup category page for more information.

Collaborations

Collaboration Projects The purpose of this section is collaborative editing between Jpop Stop! members to further develop the wiki. Editing on your own is of course perfectly fine but sometimes it can be a lot of work which is where teaming up with other members can be very beneficial and rewarding, not to mention that you may make a new friend or two along the way. You may form collaboration projects for anything you wish to help further the wiki's development. It could be to help improve the quality of existing articles which are short or lacking in detail, creatation of new articles or even groups of articles. Collaboration projects can be formed to develop any article(s) relating to Japanese music. For example: Creation/development of particular artist articles and their respective discographies Posting lyrics for every song by a particular artist Record labels - perhaps giving history, listing their artists etc. Genres - creating pages to describe genres found in Japanese music & detailing their history Create A Project To start a new collaboration project the first thing you need to to is create your project page. This should be done by the project leader. Project leaders may create pages using the following input box. Be sure not to remove the Project: prefix. Type your page name after the forward colon; e.g. Projects:Utada Hikaru Lyrics <inputbox> type=create width=40 preload=Template:Project default=Projects: break=no buttonlabel=Create Project </inputbox> Project Directory You can find a directory of all community projects by browsing this page.
