User blog:Lily Ford/Contributors Needed: DONTNOD Entertainment Wiki

Hello Everyone, my name is Lily Ford and I'm the administrator and bureaucrat of the DONTNOD Entertainment Wiki, a General Gaming Wiki dedicated to three of the earliest games created by French developer DONTNOD Entertainment.

History
The DONTNOD Entertainment Wiki originally began in August 2012 as the Remember Me Wiki, when the video game Remember Me was announced that same year (it was originally a wiki for the 2010 film Remember Me). I became a contributor June 2013 and was later made bureaucrat of the Wiki and I adopted what was a relatively dead and abandoned space.

In 2014, I began covering and providing information on the game Life Is Strange (on account of no Wiki being available for it) and last year (2015) the Remember Me Wiki became the DONTNOD Entertainment Wiki. I've spent the last three-to-four years building up with the Wiki so it could be a comprehensive database on the subjects at hand.

What's the Wiki About?
The DONTNOD Entertainment Wiki is, put simply, is about DONTNOD Entertainment's first three games as a major and independent developer:
 * Remember Me (2013) - When Nilin, a citizen of a futuristic vision of Paris, France (Neo-Paris), loses her memory, she must fight the omnipresent corporation Memorize, who commodifies and sells memories for profit to a society desperate to forget terrible events that created their present.
 * Life Is Strange (2015) - A young girl named Max Caulfield returns to her hometown in Arcadia Bay and learns she can control time after saving her childhood friend, Chloe Price, from certain death. Rekindling her friendship with Chloe, she decides to help Chloe search for her missing friend, Rachel Amber and foresees a terrible event that could destroy her hometown.
 * Vampyr (2017) - When Johnathan E. Reid returns to his home in Whitechapel following his participation in the first world war, he is attacked by a vampire and is transformed into one himself. Torn by his need to survive and his want to uphold his oath as a doctor, Reid must decide who lives and who dies in a district suffering during the height of the Spanish Flu epidemic.

Where the Wiki Needs Help
Since as early as May and June 2013, I've been seeking out help to build up the Wikia. What user-base I had dwindled until eventually I was the only one contributing to the wiki on a non-semi-frequent basis. I don't know why it happened, but I've been trying to remedy it.


 * In terms of visual content, the DONTNOD Entertainment Wiki is currently home to 2,604 images
 * In terms of written content, the DONTNOD Entertainment Wiki is currently home to 528 articles (including Disambiguation Pages)

While that number itself nothing to sniff at, the majority of the articles are stubs and in need of expansion or completion. In addition, there are crucial pages that still require creation. While I am aware of the disadvantages that come with running a General Wiki, I believe that contributors with any knowledge in the area of Remember Me (this area esp. is in need of contributor help), Life Is Strange or Vampyr, would be a great boon to the community.

One aspect I'm looking to build is a strong community foundation. Folk come and go, but if the DONTNOD Entertainment Wiki is able to create and generate general discussion about the themes of any of the three games, off-topic conversation among users and provide suggestions on how the Wiki and contributors can become stronger or improve, I think the Wiki can thrive for much longer.

I'm also currently seeking out Admins, and Rollback Mods who can eventually become Bureaucrats.

The DONTNOD Entertainment Wiki has been a labor of love and frustration. Anything you can bring to the table as fans of the developer, Remember Me, Vampyr or Life Is Strange will be a welcome help.
