Fallout 76 Wiki Editing Contest
November 15, 2018 at 11:00 PM
We want your help documenting 2018’s biggest open worlds. We’ve been working for weeks on Fallout 76 and Red Dead Redemption 2, but we can’t possibly find everything. That’s why we’re giving out some very rare prizes to people who can help us make the best guides out there even better.
Whether you’re a curious reader who would like to start contributing or a seasoned wiki veteran, this is the perfect time to delve into Red Dead Redemption 2 and/or Fallout 76 and fill it with all the info about the game you know. Tips, tricks, descriptions, stats, map points, secrets — detailed pages about all that good stuff is exactly what we need. Did we mention that you could win some awesome prizes and become a key part of this awesome community!?
How to Enter[edit]
You’ll need to sign up for an IGN account to edit wikis. After that, comment on this page with the #Contest tag to enter officially. After you are entered, dedicate some time and edits to the Red Dead Redemption 2 and/or Fallout 76 wikis by either adding content or making corrections to new and existing wiki pages within. Provide in-depth details to short pages, create new pages to add more content, insert images and videos, turn key words into a wiki link — all of these things help!
Maybe you don’t know everything there is to know, but if you know your way around a wiki or seethe in anger whenever you see “your” used instead of “you’re” you have an important role in this, too!
From November 15 at 12:01 AM PT to December 5 at 12:01 AM PT.

These pages will change throughout the length of the contest, so check back!
Needed Fallout 76 Pages[edit]
Locations – claim a location and write about everything you see and encounter, any collectibles, chests, and workshops you find, or any associated quests and secret loot stashes. Bonus: Put a photo mode shot of the location at the top of the page and link it on our Interactive Map!
Power Armor Locations – Find a suit of Power Armor in the wild? Screenshot its location and add it to our growing list by its location, and tag it on the Interactive map by making a separate page just for that armor location.
Bobblehead Locations – Document any bobbleheads you find at locations by screenshotting their location and adding them to the list – and be sure to tag it on the interactive map with its own page!
Magazine Locations – Screenshot any magazines you find in the wild and add them to our list of known spots, and be sure to link them to our interactive map!
Treasure Maps – Found a treasure map? Take a picture of the map, and find the X that marks the spot! Provide details on where to find the treasure with a screenshot of the location and point on the map, and add it to our list. Please also add a spot on our Interactive Map that links back to a page for that treasure map alone.
Public Events – Taking part in a Public Quest? Write down what it entails and how to beat it, including any tips to come out on top, and where these quests appear on the map. Be sure to create a marker for localized events on our interactive map!
Random Events – Find something out of the ordinary while traveling between locations, like a downed cargobot or a dog-walking Mr. Handy? Add it to our list of random events with the details of what the event contains and if there are any rewards or hazards.
Weapons and Armor and Outfits – Catalogue all the Weapons and Armor you can find by adding their base stats to the table, and adding more info to the specific weapon or armor page.
