Rules
Update 2020/09/11: The rules have been updated and are highlighted in red.
- Only users with a wiki account can participate in this sweepstake. To sign up, you need to add your account name to the list at the end of this page.
- To be eligible for the raffle prizes, a minimum of 5 substantial edits is required.
- You may only enter the sweepstake with one account per wiki. Multiple entries with additional accounts will be disregarded, and you will be disqualified.
- Please note that due to legal constraints, wiki editors residing in Belgium, Italy, Spain, and Sweden are not able to participate in this sweepstake. We are deeply sorry.
Which Edits Qualify, Which Do Not?
- Edits have to be a mainspace contribution (for example, (re-)writing guides, creating new pages and templates, and fleshing out existing articles).
- Uploading images counts. 5 images equal one edit of 100 characters.
- Changes to user pages do not count.
- While appreciated, small edits (such as fixing typos, formatting, and/or adding interwikis and similar infobox values) and maintenance work (like flagging pages for deletion) do not qualify for this sweepstake.
- As a guideline, edits should count more than 100 characters (including spaces) (~roughly 20 words or 100 bytes).
