Welcome to IGN’s Wiki Guide Contest for Borderlands 3!
Calling all contributors – we need your help! Our team of freelancers and in-house writers have worked to create an expansive Main Walkthrough, Boss Guides, Tips, and Tricks, as well as updating the list of Shift Codes. But Borderlands 3 is a massive game, and with millions of guns, we can’t possibly cover them all. That’s why we’re looking to give back to our amazing contributors with a contest to reward your assistance in covering other aspects of the game. Read below to find out how you can enter a chance to win prizes by adding your edits.
Whether you’re a curious reader who would like to start contributing or someone looking to get a feel for editing wiki guides, this is the perfect time to delve into Borderlands 3 and fill it with all the info about the game you know. Did we mention that you could win some awesome prizes and become a key part of this awesome community!?
How to Enter[edit]
You’ll need to sign up for an IGN account to edit wikis. After that:
Comment on this page with the #diamondloot #contest tags to enter officially.
After you are entered, dedicate some time and edits to the Borderlands 3 wiki by either adding content or making corrections to new and existing wiki pages within. Provide details to short pages, create new pages to add more content, insert images and videos, turn key words into a wiki link — all of these things help!
Maybe you don’t know everything there is to know, but if you know your way around a wiki or seethe in anger whenever you see “your” used instead of “you’re” you have an important role in this, too!
From September 19 at 12:01 AM PT to October 7 at 11:59 PM PT.
Three top contributors (based on quality and quantity of edits) will each receive the following first place prize:
- (1) Borderlands 3 Diamond Loot Chest Collector’s Edition (valued at $249.99)
Three runner up contributors will receive a second place prize each:
- (1) Amazon Gift Card (valued at $60.00)
How will edits be counted?[edit]
You can make as many edits as you want, but only really helpful and legitimate edits will be counted. Either way, our Wiki editors and moderators will be tracking all activity on those wikis so show your best work!
Judging Criteria For Edits[edit]
We will keep track of both quantity and quality of your edits made throughout the course of the contest.
Contributions to the wiki by an individual contributor will be measured using the following criteria:
- 30% Importance/Relevance – Does the contribution fulfill a request from the Contributor Challenge, or fulfill reader needs?
- 50% Depth – Is the contribution minor, or complete?
- 20% Quality – Does the contribution require heavy copy-editing or is it well-written and formatted?
