Kirby Wiki:Claimed Articles

Kirby Wiki accommodates two styles of article creation. Some editors prefer to work together to build complete pages, while others prefer to take on an entire article independently. For the latter style's convenience, a claim system is in place.

Rules
Editors who are interested in creating an article by themselves can make a public claim to the article--this can be done by editing the list below to add the claimed article. A claim can be withdrawn at any time. For pages related to games that are already released, an editor's claim expires after two months. For claims on articles from unreleased games, the expiration date is two months after the game's release. Shortly before a claim expires, an administrator will assess how much progress has been made and may choose to offer an extension to the editor. If a claim expires, the work that is currently done on the page can be published by anyone.

To prevent a small pool of editors from claiming an excessive number of articles from one game, there is a limit to how many pages can be taken. A user may claim up to five articles per game at a time.

Articles claimed by blocked individuals, as well as any progress made on them, may be "auctioned" off by an administrator to a responsible user who isn't already at claim capacity. In other cases, they may be released to the public for group editing.

Users who claim articles for individual creation are not confined to crafting them alone in one sitting. He/she may create a workshop user page to house unfinished work, and he/she is welcome to invite other users to contribute. Either way, it is strongly encouraged that a claimed article be mostly complete and meet Kirby Wiki's quality standard before publication.

After claiming an article, the article should be created with Template:Claimed placed at the top to let others know the page has been claimed. Visit the Template:Claimed page for instructions regarding its use.

Recommendations
For editors hoping to create an article:
 * Make sure the article covers a viable topic. For help, see Special:Wantedpages.
 * Avoid articles listed in the section below. The editors working on them may not want interference.
 * Ask an administrator for help if needed.
