Essay:How to Contribute to Archon Arcana
NOTE: These instructions assume you have an account on Archon Arcana and have the "contributor" role. If you wish to help contribute to Archon Arcana, first create an account, then reach out to us on the Archon Arcana discord to get started.
Introduction
Archon Arcana is powered by a small crew of contributors (affectionately known as "The Arcanists") and we are always looking for help. Below is a list of things of small relatively simple things that can help newer Arcanists get some experience.
Adding a Spoiler Card
To add a spoiler card,
- Enter the data via the Spoiler creation form.
- After the spoiler data has been entered, on the newly created CardData: page will be a link in red in the space for Name. Click this red link.
- You're now creating the card view page (what most people see when they look at AA). Cut and paste this into the card page, updating "yourcardname" with the name of your card: {{#invoke: luacard | viewcard | cardname=yourcardname}}
- If you have any questions about this process, ask in the contributor channel in the AA discord.
Wanted Pages
Sometimes when writing an article, someone will create a link to a page that doesn't exist to have someone go back and fill in later. If you are looking to create some new pages, the wanted pages is a good place to start.
Special Projects
If you have a special project that you'd like to tackle, reach out to us on Discord to discuss it.
