|taskdescription=The Eve University Wiki is a great way to contribute to the Eve Online community in general. The wiki is also one of the most direct way for you to contribute and share your knowledge to the Uni and the public Eve community. You don't have to be a member of the Uni to start writing articles, and everything counts, as long as it's written properly (see the [[Wiki_How_To_Guide|wiki how-to]] for more detail), and tagged with the appropriate [[:Special:Categories|category]].<br><br>
 
note : this task is always active, meaning, we will always need new articles! of course, for topics which is not there already :)

|links=[[:Category:Stubs]], [[:Category:Candidates_for_Cleanup]], [[:Category:Deprecated_Pages]]
 
|taskdescription=The Eve University Wiki is a big place, sometimes article, well... they got lost, or unfinished and on most cases, outdated. Still thanks to all the awesome people who wrote them in the first place, it won't hurt to expand or improve the articles and update them to the current state of Eve Online. Same as writing new articles, cleaning up and improving articles doesn't require you to be a member of Eve University. Pick one (or several) article you find interesting or in need of improvements, even if it's just minor things, like updating the images, or ship attributes, your contributions are greatly appreciated.<br><br>
 
Several good place to start, that is if you don't have something in mind and just want to generally tinker stuff anyway, is to visit the :
 
*[[:Category:Stubs|articles which is too short and in need of a more detailed information.]]
 
*[[:Category:Candidates_for_Cleanup|articles in need of cleanup due to readability (formatting) issues.]]
 
*[[:Category:Deprecated_Pages|outdated articles in need of replacement or adjustments.]]
 
pick one article of your interest as provided when you visit those pages and go ahead and edit the page.<br><br>
 
note : this task is always active, meaning, improvements are always welcome! of course, please watch where you're stepping... :)

UniWiki: To-Do List is a good place to start contributing to the UniWiki. Feel free to pick anything from the topics below. Any capsuleer with an EVE Online account can login to the UniWiki and start editing. You do not need to be an EVE University member to start contributing. Your account name for the UniWiki will be your chosen character name.

If you aren't comfortable making your own changes, feel free to reach out to other editors.

Writing

Spelling and grammar changes
When you come across spelling and grammar errors, please feel free to correct them.
Flagging pages that need work
If a page needs some work, but you do not have the time or knowledge to do it yourself, use the {{Cleanup}}, {{Verify}} or {{Update}} template.
Give as much information as you can when you flag the page, so the person working on it knows what they should be doing.
Flagging pages that contain similar information
If multiple pages contain similar information analyze if they should be combined and if so add the {{Merge}} template to all pages concerned.
Candidates for cleanup
These pages should be reformatted or otherwise improved for grammar, typographical errors, organization, readability or formatting.
When you are finished remove the {{cleanup}} template.
Candidates for verification

If a page redirects to a page that was deleted or moved, the redirect will be broken. Find a more appropriate place for the page to redirect to or alternatively mark it for {{deletion}} if there is no relevant page for the redirect.
Check whether any other pages link to the deleted/moved page at the same time. To do this click on What links here in the toolbox section of the left sidebar.
