How to contribute

You only need an account. The moment you sign in you can add new assets and edit existing ones. There's no application and no waiting list — your first approved edit automatically makes you a Contributor.

1. 1
   Pick a game and browse to the asset you want to improve — an item, a quest, a recipe, whatever the game has.
2. 2
   Hit Edit (or Addto create something that doesn't exist yet) and fill in the fields. Each field has a type — text, number, tags, an image, a color — so the data stays consistent.
3. 3
   Write a short change summary saying what you changed and, ideally, where the information came from. This is what reviewers read first.
4. 4
   Submit. Depending on your track record, your edit either goes live immediately or enters review (see below).

Every change runs through a trust check before it's published:

• Solid edits from established contributors go live instantly.A small correction from someone with a clean history doesn't need a committee.
• Uncertain or higher-impact edits wait for review. They go to the community and maintainers, who vote them up or down.
• Everything is versioned. If something wrong slips through, any maintainer or moderator can roll the asset back to a previous version in one click — nothing is ever truly lost.

You can follow the status of everything you've submitted on your Contribute dashboard, including your acceptance rate and reputation.

• Change one thing at a time — small, focused edits are easier to verify and approve.
• Cite where the value comes from in the summary (in-game screen, patch notes, your own testing).
• Match the existing format — if other items use short tags, don't paste a paragraph.
• Prefer leaving a field blank over guessing. Wrong data is worse than missing data.
• Add an image when you have a clean one — it's pulled into ARKANA's own storage, so it won't rot.
