== Editing The Wiki ==
 
This website is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wiki] -- a collection of web pages, whose content may be edited anonymously, over the internet.
 
=== Care and Feeding ===
 
Because of it's collaborative and freely-editable nature, writing, updating and maintaining documentation are the most important steps to keeping the system alive.
 
If you are new to editing, please read through MediaWiki [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents#For_editors help for editors] first. There's a [[Sandbox]] for you to play around with thereafter.
 
A few guidelines to go by when editing pages on this wiki:
 
* Provide ''accurate'' information.
 
* Write an edit summary for your change. It takes the guess-work out of browsing through the changelog.
 
* Avoid duplication. New pages that duplicate already existing information are a bad idea. Work on-top of the existing content to better it instead.
 
* Upload only those images that you own. Or at least get permission from the owner to do so. Infringing on someone else's copyright does no one any good, really.
 
=== Repair and Restoration ===
 
As a negative side effect, wikis are also a target of and mostly vulnerable to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki_vandalism vandalism].


Spotting and reverting cases of vandalism can be anywhere from time consuming, to trivial a task. Either way, this is greatly appreciated.

From the team

We really appreciate your interest in Xenon Wiki, and especially your enthusiasm to want to contribute!

Eligibility

Who can't contribute

Unfortunately not everyone can chip in, for example people who have signed an NDA pertaining to the hardware or software used on the Xbox 360 can't as it would break their contract.

Who can contribute

If you don't meet the above, congratulations! You're eligible to contribute in the project. There are still quite a few areas of expertise we are interested in and need information on, so please keep reading!

Areas of Opportunity

These are a few areas where we can use assistance.
