PenguinMod Wiki:Contribution
This page provides information on how to contribute to our wiki, as well as ways you can contribute.
How to contribute
IP editing is disabled to avoid vandalism to pages. As such, you must either create an account,[Note 1] or log into one in order to contribute to this wiki.
Every contribution that is not against the wiki rules is highly welcomed!
Still can't create or edit pages
To begin with, some pages may be locked to specific user groups, or their author. Some, such as the landing page are locked to admins, whereas others, like the PenguinMod article, are simply limited to autoconfirmed [sic] users.
This is usually because you need to verify your account. Make sure you go to your email inbox, and look for an email from [email protected] [sic] if you do not see one, check your spam folder, then make sure you spelt your email right when signing up for an account.
If you are still unable to contribute to the wiki, please reach out to Miraheze.
