Don't know where to start? A good place to begin is editing articles that are designated as [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]] and [[:Category:Work in Progress|works in progress]]. These articles need anything from minor tweaks to major overhauls, and anything you have to add would be appreciated!

Want to contribute to the Paragon Wiki but don't know where to start? One good place to start is by editing articles that are designated as [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Stub|Stub]] articles and [[Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Wip|Work in Progress]] articles. These articles need anything from minor tweaks to major overhauls, and anything you have to add would be appreciated!
 
If you want to dive into writing some highly needed articles from scratch, check out the list of [[Special:Wantedpages|Wanted Pages]].  These are pages that are linked to from other pages but that have no articles associated with them.  They are sorted by the number of links that point to them, so by filling in the articles towards the top of the list, you will be giving the most bang for your temporal buck.
