Help On The Wiki, Download Some Mags

[Phillyman]

As with any project, the more hands that are helping....the easier everyone has it. I just uploaded 225 EGM covers to the Retromags Wiki. As such I could use a hand placing those covers in the correct spots. So I am asking for some help....as a reward I will be giving out Premium Memberships for anyone willing to lend a hand.

Find the EGM Index

Go into each page of the that has not been created

Click Edit and insert the following code at the top of the page

No worries.

2002 & 2003 are now completed as well. Maybe I should leave the rest for someone needing the download points :-)

Hi,

Just done issue 19-32, 35-36 and 39-41.

Do you want me to do some more or leave it for some other members to do.

Dont worry about how much you guys do

EGM is only the first one, we will also be importing a ton of GamePro covers, PSM Covers, Xbox Covers, Next Generation Covers, Gamers Republic Covers, and other misc things that will need help on the wiki.

Even after all the covers are imported to the correct spots, we will then be offering memberships to people who help fill in the following

Reviewed Games

Previewed Games

Cheats and Passwords for Games

So by no means will there be a shortage of work to be done, I am trying to give our members who dont have access to a scanner, plenty of ways to earn a upgraded status....while helping the site become better for everyone.

Issues 54-61 and 63-77 now done.

Looking forward to doing some more work on the wiki for you.
