This page is the starting point for all editors of this Wikia. It also lists some of the pages you might like to use as you contribute here.
Since 2018, this Community Portal is the most updated community centre as we work to update and edit the Wiki. Please refer here instead of to Special:Community until further notice as some links there need updating.
Feel free to talk to the admins or other active users at any time if you have any queries.
Current Events
This Wiki has spent a lot of time being inactive and therefore needs a lot of updating. The long-term plan is to make sure all pages have updated and correct content, images, and organised page categories, and then moving onto smaller tasks of proofreading, broken links and correcting the tone of articles.
In the meantime, discussions on maintaining, updating and editing the Wiki are happening over on this blog post: https://hitchhikers.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Spacepigeon/Running_the_H2G2_Wiki .
You can also suggest pages/content/categories and other changes on our Suggestions page.
Come and join the discussions!
More internal stuff can be found within the Category:Hitchhikers.
~~~~Spacepigeon
P.S: I have a regularly updated Activity section on my user page, where I keep a note of categories I'm currently working on, and ones which I've gone through and edited.
For any new Hitchhikers, having a quick look at this can be helpful to see which categories might need more attention than others, and which have or haven't been looked at recently. If you're planning to be a long-term editor here and wish to dedicate your time to updating and editing a specific area of the Wiki, like I do by going through categories, this can be a good place to start!
Thanks to everyone who has helped keep our Wiki updated and active, it really means a lot.
