Maintenance and To Do
Looking to volunteer in the Board Games corner of the CthulhuWiki? Here's what needs to be done!
1. Update Unreleased Board Games (As Needed)
Review Unreleased Board Games. Determine if any of those board games have been released. If they have, update the game's page with as much information as possible. Don't forget to remove the 'Unreleased Board Games' category. Then go back to Unreleased Board Games and remove the game from that page.
2. Provide Missing Information
Some board games have missing information, indicated by a "?".
If you own a board game with a "?" for one or more of the fields, please examine the rules and box for the missing information. If it's not provided, replace the "?" with the word "None". Please don't enter your best guess - we're looking for official publisher information. And, as much as I respect BoardGameGeek, remember that their information comes from volunteers, just like us, so don't just take their word for it.
3. Add Existing Board Games
There are always more Cthulhu-themed board games - here's what to do with them.
Whether it's a new tentacle tamer or one that's been around for years and just not on CthulhuWiki, you can add a page for a board game using the Board Games Style Guide on the Board Games page.
If the game isn't released yet, in addition to adding a page using the standard Board Game Style Guide, add the game to the Unreleased Board Games page.
All board games should be added to Category:Board Games (already part of the Style Guide). Additionally, use the board game subcategories when appropriate: Category:Print-and-Play Board Games, Category:Print-on-Demand Board Games, and Category:Unreleased Board Games.
The following board games don't have pages - yet. Or add a game that's not on this list! Remember to use the Board Games Style Guide on the Board Games page.
Creatures & Cultists (multiple editions?)
Cthulhu Wars (+1 expansion)
Eldritch Horror (+4 expansions)
Munchkin Cthulhu (+3 expansions)
Rise of Cthulhu (+1 expansion)
Smash Up: The Obligatory Cthulhu Set
Strange Aeons (2 editions)
A Study in Emerald (2 editions)
4. Miscellaneous Task List
Yahtzee: Cthulhu was added to CthulhuWiki so soon after it was released that it didn't even have a BoardGameGeek page yet. Add a link to it once it exists.
5. More Tentacles Know an interesting piece of trivia about a game? Have a link to a great review? See something that's just plain wrong? These pages are a community effort, make them better by contributing!
