Help:Contributing

Keep in mind

1. Everything should be related to /i/ and raiding.
   • Don't talk about *chans for their boards and such, talk about their skills and weaknesses when raiding and their attitudes towards it.
   • For programming tutorials, be sure to include guides on how to use networking libraries and other things useful for raid tools.
2. This is not ED. Humor is great, don't be srz bznz, but don't add blantant sarcastic lies even if they are funny.
3. Categorize things into the right Category:XX, but don't make a bunch of random ones. Add a meaningful description to categories.
4. Get on irc.tsukihi.me #888chan please
5. An account means you don't have your IP here for the feds or someone to nab
6. Watch out for trolls, lulzkillers, spammers, and vandals, and report them to IRC.

Here's a list of things that need to get done

MOST IMPORTANT

• Classic site style needs to be fully converted for here, else shit looks fucked in spots (TOC, infobars, etc)
• Some articles are missing. Port them from one of the following mirrors (ordered by dates):
  • dnathe4th - Static HTML, from 2008.
  • Wayback Machine Set 1 - Static HTML, meaning you can't search. Has stuff from 2009.
  • Wayback Machine Set 2 - Same as before, but updated and contains stuff from 2011.
  • Github - Lets you view Mediawiki source for easy porting. No images, though. Last change was from sometime early 2012.
• Look at the page's history on this site before you port an article over. If the page was last updated sometime in the past year, and the page you're getting ready to copy is from 2011, then leave it alone. You're just reverting the updates that have been made so far.
• Don't just copy and paste articles; UPDATE THEM. These pages are years old, and the internet has changed a lot since they were last touched.
  • Templates need to be added back in from the second wayback archive set.
  • Fix or delete broken links.
  • Add new information.
  • For articles over old or irrelevant subjects, mark them as such. Either make a template saying "shit's old" and put it on there, or re-write the opening section to show that the raid is over, the tool is obsolete, the target quit the internet, etc.
• Stubs need to be expanded. Once done, remove the stub template (looks like this in the source: {{Stub}}).

SECONDLY

• Backups need to be made regularly, so that in case something happens, we'll be ready.
• The Help section needs completion. Please don't just copypasta from Wikipedia.
• The following special pages show pages or categories needing attention:
  • Uncategorized pages - Pages that need to be placed into a category.
  • Orphaned pages - Pages that need to be linked to.
  • Wanted pages - Pages that have been linked to, but do not exist.
  • Unused categories - Categories with no pages.
  • Wanted categories - Categories that have been linked to, but do not have any content.
  • Broken redirects - Redirects that link to non-existent pages.
  • Double redirects - Redirects that link to other redirects.
  • Unused images - Images that aren't linked to at all, and are instead just sitting there taking up space.

Everything below this is open talking. Please discuss shit here and it will be moved up there^^^^ if it's important. Mostly here post pages that need some real work, pages that need to be created, pages to be merged, etc.

List of specific articles that need work

1. IRC needs to talk about IRC in general and good clients, etc.
2. 420chan 711chan 4chan 7chan 12chan need work.
3. Ruination needs to have more formatting and IRL attack tactics, IE, call, pizza spam, moar of that.
4. Botnet - it redirects now to "how to make a botnet" but the article still need some work.

Job well done

1. Firefox Add-ons - Very nice! Remember if you know of moar add it.
2. Ruination - It's good, some places are spotty but it's altogether informative.
