Looking for something to do to improve the Wiki, but you are not sure where to start? Here are some suggestions:
 
   
 
== How Do I Help? ==
* '''Expand a Stub''' - Some articles are merely placeholders, waiting for someone like yourself to come along and grow them into something more useful. For a list of articles in need of further expansion or revision, see [[:Category:Stubs]].
 
 
<big>'''Looking for something to do to improve the Wiki, but you are not sure where to start?'''</big>
* '''Improve Existing Content''' – Many articles can be improved and expanded upon. You could roam the site looking for articles that you feel are too vague, missing information, or have sentences and paragraphs which need rewording to be more understandable. If you notice information that is missing from an article, add it.
 
* '''Fix Errors''' - Examples of this would include grammar or spelling mistakes. Large quantities of small fixes can greatly improve the quality of the wiki. Additionally, see [[:Category:Outdated articles|Outdated Articles]] for a list of articles that are not up-to-date with the current version of DayZ, for which revision would be very welcome.
 
* '''Write a New Article''' – Is there something we're missing? [[Help:Starting a new page|You should add it]].
 
* '''Monitor Articles''' - You can monitor the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]] list and/or [[Special:Watchlist|watch articles]] to catch and fix mistakes as well as help prevent vandalism.
 
* '''Help Other Users''' - Many users don't know how to get started with helping the wiki. You could assist them by sharing some of your knowledge, and encourage them to become active and get started with editing.
