Rules and guidelines

• Paradox Wikis administrator SolSys decides whether a raffle ticket has been earned based on the guidelines below.
• Members of the Paradox Wikis team (administrators, moderators, halfops) cannot enter the contest.
• The competition is open for anyone around the world aged 16 or above. Entrants under the age of 18 require parental consent to participate.
• All entrants must register an account on the wiki; anonymous edits are not counted unless they can be clearly connected to a registered user (E.G., in cases where the user was accidentally logged out).
• Any action on the list undertaken between the start and the end of the contest will earn tickets.
• The entrant must have access to the email address they've defined for their account, as prizes will be sent via email. Note that by default the Paradox Account email address is used.
• If you have changed the email address of your Paradox Account since registering on the Paradox Wikis (before the unified account), you should update your email address via the Paradox account settings from the forums.

Earning tickets

All tickets are provisional until the contest starts and edits made in advance can change the values below

A large variety of tasks will earn you tickets; everything from updating pages, to writing strategies, to modding information, to creating pages on new features. All tasks are listed below.

Anything that involves the creation of a new page or section assumes that the resulting page is rated B or above, and has no resulting ambox requests ({{rewrite}}, {{cleanup}}, {{copy edit}}, {{expand}} and {{stub}}).

Any task that gives "at minimum" a number of tickets can give more than that number if the quality and/or thoroughness of the writing is higher than expected.

The first three tasks give more tickets the more outdated the page/section/infobox is. The base ticket amount is multiplied according to the following table:

Version	Multiplier
1.29	1
1.28	2
1.27	3
1.26	4
1.25	5
1.24	6
1.23	7
1.22	8
1.18	10

• Important: When updating an article/section/infobox do not remove versioning tags. Instead, set the version number to the updated version. This will make it stop displaying until a newer version is released. The SVersion tags should be present after each tier 2 header.

• Ensure that pages are up to date. See outdated pages for a list of potentially outdated articles. If no changes are necessary for the page to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on its Talk page. This gives a base amount of 1 ticket per page updated

• Ensure that page sections are up to date. See outdated sections for a list of pages with potentially outdated sections. If no changes are necessary for the section to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on the page's Talk page. This gives a base amount of 0.25 ticket per section updated.

• Ensure that infoboxes are up to date. See outdated infoboxes for a list of pages with potentially outdated infoboxes. If no changes are necessary for the infobox to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on the page's Talk page. This gives a base amount of 1 ticket per 10 infoboxes updated.

• Improving an article by such an extent that it is reassessed at a higher level. See Category:Articles by quality for information on how assessment works. This gives at minimum 2 tickets

• Write a page about an important modding concept. This gives at minimum 4 tickets

• Other improvements to the wiki give tickets based on the judgement of the person assigning tickets. Content additions, structure improvements, and grammar improvements are prime examples of contributions that'd fall under this

Content verification

Verifying that content on the wiki is correct is also important. Each page checked and verified is worth 5 tickets. The unverified content is tagged with the {{Sup}} template.

• Conditions
• Score system

Adding categories

• Add categories to images in Special:UncategorizedFiles

Verify computer generated content

Pages in Category:Computer_generated were generated using the PDXParse suite. Verify the content and fix any transcoding errors. 1 Ticket per event verified and updated to 1.30.

Unrecognized icon strings

Pages in Category:Pages with unrecognized icon strings contain unrecognized icon strings either through typing errors or missing files. 3 Tickets per page corrected.

Flag images

Some of the flags are low resolution and high resolution (800x533 to 1000x667) ones are desired. This is not the same as stretching the image (see the history of File:Apache.png for an example of what not to do). Each flag uploaded with correct copyright is worth 1 ticket.

Reporting completion

For most of the above, no report of the action is necessary. A descriptive edit summary is enough. Please only contact the overseeing moderator about tickets if you've got any complaints about the # of tickets given, if 72 or more hours after your actions you've yet to receive any tickets, or for the circumstances described below. Questions about anything else are welcome at any time and will be answered as soon as possible.

All earned tickets are be listed below on a per-user basis. There is no need to notify overseeing moderator that one is entering the contest (except for the specific contributions mentioned above); it is assumed everyone wants a chance at winning a prize.

If you believe you have made a significant contribution ("Other significant improvements to the wiki"), or that your ticket-earning contributions have been missed, this can be reported at User talk:SolSys.

Earned tickets

Fractional tickets are only used for accounting progress towards an entrant's next ticket.

Notes

• When updating content remember to also update the accompanying version tag (do not delete them).
• When updating old articles refer to changes from past patches as well (not just the last one).

8th contest

"Rights of Man" DLC banner.

The wiki ran a contest starting on 2016-10-11 when the Rights of Man expansion is released, and ending at 2016-10-22 at 2000 CEST.

Prizes

Contest avatar

Users can enter the contest by contributing to the wiki during that time span. Various actions give raffle tickets; the more tickets one amassed, the more likely one is to win. Fixed prizes are also given out to the top three contributors by number of tickets

The three users with the most tickets will each get a discount voucher for the Paradox Web Store. This can be used for any combination of digital goods (limited to at most one copy of each individual product) in a single transaction, but cannot be applied to physical goods:

• 1st place gets a 90% off voucher - Won by Romaoplays (425 tickets)
• 2nd place gets a 75% off voucher - Won by Philadelphus (303 tickets)
• 3rd place gets a 50% off voucher - Won by Barykker (112 tickets)

They will also receive a special forum avatar and icon (). These are unique to major wiki contributors.

Further winners will be selected using a random number generator. The prizes will be drawn in the order listed below. An entrant's chance of winning is proportional to the number of tickets they've obtained. The top three contributors by number of tickets are also entered in the raffle.

A total of 12 prizes will be raffled off:

• 4 copies of the Crusader Kings II Gold (raffled individually) - Won by Romaoplays (425 tickets), Philadelphus (303 tickets), Tr3qwerty (24 tickets), and Dj09ou (18 tickets)
• 4 copies of the Hearts of Iron 3 base game (raffled individually) - Won by Romaoplays (425 tickets), Philadelphus (303 tickets), Neondt (17 tickets), and Barykker (112 tickets)
• 4 copies of the Victoria 2 Collection (raffled individually) - Won by Romaoplays (425 tickets), Frozen Spook (24 tickets), 123e55 (66 tickets), and Barykker (112 tickets)

(Crusader Kings II Gold consists of Crusader Kings II and the following DLC: Dynasty Shields, The Mongols, Ruler Designer, Songs of Albion, Songs of Faith, Songs of Holy Land)

It is not possible to win more than one copy of each game, but it is possible to win one of each.

Rules and guidelines

• All entrants must register an account on the wiki; anonymous edits are not counted unless they can be clearly connected to a registered user (E.G., in cases where the user was accidentally logged out)
• The entrant must have access to the email address they've defined for their account, as prizes will be sent via email. Note that by default the Paradox Account email address is used
• If you have changed the email address of your Paradox Account since registering on the Paradox Wikis, you should update your email address on the wikis. Otherwise, it may take longer than normal for you to receive your prize(s) if you were to win
• Only edits after the start of the contest count
• Any vandalism will cause all raffle tickets earned by the entrant to be forfeit
• Paradox Wikis moderator Dauth decides whether a raffle ticket has been earned based on the guidelines below. Between the start of the contest and 23:59 CEST 2016-10-13 Paradox Wikis half-operator SolSys will be awarding tickets
• Entrants should read the style guidelines in order to ensure their edits are up to the wiki's standards. Edit summaries are encouraged, but not required except where otherwise specified
• Administrators and Moderators cannot enter the contest
• To prevent a conflict of interest, halfops are discouraged from editing the contest page
• Any action on the list undertaken between the release of Rights of Man and the end of the contest will earn tickets.

Earning tickets

A large variety of tasks will earn you tickets; everything from updating pages, to writing strategies, to modding information, to creating pages on new features. All tasks are listed below.

Anything that involves the creation of a new page or section assumes that the resulting page is rated B or above, and has no resulting ambox requests ({{rewrite}}, {{cleanup}}, {{copy edit}}, {{expand}} and {{stub}}).

Any task that gives "at minimum" a number of tickets can give more than that number if the quality and/or thoroughness of the writing is higher than expected.

The first three tasks give more tickets the more outdated the page/section/infobox is. The base ticket amount is multiplied according to the following table:

Version	Multiplier
1.16 & 1.17	1
1.14 & 1.15	2
1.12 & 1.13	4
1.10 & 1.11	8

• Ensure that pages are up to date. See outdated pages for a list of potentially outdated articles. If no changes are necessary for the page to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on its Talk page. This gives a base amount of 1 ticket per page updated

• Ensure that page sections are up to date. See outdated sections for a list of pages with potentially outdated sections. If no changes are necessary for the section to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on the page's Talk page. This gives a base amount of 0.25 ticket per section updated. Note that when the section is up to date the section versioning should not be removed, but rather set to "1.18". This will make it stop displaying until 1.19 is released.

• Ensure that infoboxes are up to date. See outdated infoboxes for a list of pages with potentially outdated infoboxes. If no changes are necessary for the infobox to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on the page's Talk page. This gives a base amount of 1 ticket per 10 infoboxes updated. Note that when the infobox is up to date the versioning should not be removed, but rather set to "1.18". This will make it stop displaying until 1.19 is released.

• Improving an article by such an extent that it is reassessed at a higher level. See Category:Articles by quality for information on how assessment works. This gives at minimum 2 tickets

• Adding a strategy guide to a page in Category:Needs strategy guide. Note that the strategy guide must either be your own work, or another person's work used with permissions and significantly reworked to comply with the wiki's style guidelines. This gives at minimum 2 tickets

• Write a page about an important modding concept. This gives at minimum 4 tickets

• Other improvements to the wiki give tickets based on the judgement of the person assigning tickets. Content additions, structure improvements, and grammar improvements are prime examples of contributions that'd fall under this

Flag images

Some of the flags are low resolution and high resolution (800x533 to 1000x667) ones are desired. This is not the same as stretching the image (see the history of File:Apache.png for an example of what not to do). Each flag uploaded with correct copyright is worth 1 ticket.

Reporting completion

For most of the above, no report of the action is necessary. A descriptive edit summary is enough. Please only contact Dauth about tickets if you've got any complaints about the # of tickets given, if 72 or more hours after your actions you've yet to receive any tickets, or for the circumstances described below. Questions about anything else are welcome at any time and will be answered as soon as possible.

If you believe you have made a significant contribution ("Other significant improvements to the wiki"), or that your ticket-earning contributions have been missed, this can be reported at User talk:Dauth.

All earned tickets are be listed below on a per-user basis. There is no need to notify Dauth that one is entering the contest (except for the specific contributions mentioned above); it is assumed everyone wants a chance at winning a prize.

Earned tickets

Fractional tickets are only used for accounting progress towards an entrant's next ticket. In the raffle, ticket numbers are always rounded down.

Notes

• When updating a section remember to also mark the new versioning.
• When updating old articles refer to changes from past patches as well (not just the last one).

7th competition

"Mare Nostrum" DLC banner.

The wiki ran a contest which started on 2016-04-05 when the Mare Nostrum expansion is released, and ended at 2016-04-16 at 2000 CET.

Prizes

Users can enter the contest by contributing to the wiki during that time span. Various actions give raffle tickets; the more tickets one amassed, the more likely one is to win. Fixed prizes are also given out to the top three contributors by number of tickets

The three users with the most tickets will each get a discount voucher for the Paradox Web Store. This can be used for any combination of digital goods in a single transaction, but cannot be applied to physical goods:

• 1st place gets a 90% off voucher - Won by Ghastrakun (367 tickets)
• 2nd place gets a 75% off voucher - Won by SolSys (345 tickets)
• 3rd place gets a 50% off voucher - Won by Rygel8472 (278 tickets)

Further winners will be selected using a random number generator. The prizes will be drawn in the order listed below. An entrant's chance of winning is proportional to the number of tickets they've obtained. The top three contributors by number of tickets are also entered in the raffle.

A total of 15 prizes will be raffled off:

• 5 copies of the Crusader Kings II base game (raffled individually) - Won by Ghastrakun (367), SolSys (345), Charlesex (78), 123e55 (61), and Inei (8)
• 5 copies of the Hearts of Iron 3 Collection (raffled individually) - Won by SolSys (345), Rygel8472 (278), Tre3qwerty (156), Indigo Blue (78), and TheProCoder (51)
• 5 copies of the Victoria 2 Collection (raffled individually) - Won by Ghastrakun (367), SolSys (345), Rygel8472 (278), TheProCoder (51), and UserID (25)

It is not possible to win more than one copy of each game, but it is possible to win one of each.

Rules and guidelines

• All entrants must register an account on the wiki; anonymous edits are not counted unless they can be clearly connected to a registered user (E.G., in cases where the user was accidentally logged out)
• Only edits after the start of the contest count
• The entrant must have access to the email address they've defined for their account, as prizes will be sent via email. Note that by default the Paradox Account email address is used
• Any vandalism will cause all raffle tickets earned by the entrant to be forfeit
• The Paradox Wikis administrator (Meneth) decides whether a raffle ticket has been earned based on the guidelines below. From the start of the contest until 23:59 Friday 8th April, the Paradox Wikis moderator (Dauth) will be awarding tickets.
• Entrants should read the style guidelines in order to ensure their edits are up to the wiki's standards
• Moderators cannot enter the contest, halfops are eligible to enter
• To prevent a conflict of interest, halfops are discouraged from editing the contest page
• Any action on the list undertaken between the release of Mare Nostrum and the end of the contest will earn tickets.

Earning tickets

A large variety of tasks will earn you tickets; everything from updating pages, to writing strategies, to modding information, to creating pages on new features. All tasks are listed below.

Anything that involves the creation of a new page or section assumes that the resulting page is rated B or above, and has no resulting ambox requests ({{rewrite}}, {{cleanup}}, {{copy edit}}, {{expand}} and {{stub}}).

Any task that gives "at minimum" a number of tickets can give more than that number if the quality and/or thoroughness of the writing is higher than expected.

The first three tasks give more tickets the more outdated the page/section/infobox is. The base ticket amount is multiplied according to the following table:

Version	Multiplier
1.15	1
1.14	1
1.13	2
1.12	2
1.11	3
1.10	3

• Ensure that pages are up to date. See outdated pages for a list of potentially outdated articles. If no changes are necessary for the page to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on its Talk page. This gives a base amount of 1 ticket per page updated

• Ensure that page sections are up to date. See outdated sections for a list of pages with potentially outdated sections. If no changes are necessary for the section to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on the page's Talk page. This gives a base amount of 0.25 ticket per section updated. Note that when the section is up to date the section versioning should not be removed, but rather set to "1.16". This will make it stop displaying until 1.17 is released.

• Ensure that infoboxes are up to date. See outdated infoboxes for a list of pages with potentially outdated infoboxes. If no changes are necessary for the infobox to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on the page's Talk page. This gives a base amount of 1 ticket per 10 infoboxes updated. Note that when the infobox is up to date the versioning should not be removed, but rather set to "1.16". This will make it stop displaying until 1.17 is released.

• Improving an article by such an extent that it is reassessed at a higher level. See Category:Articles by quality for information on how assessment works. This gives at minimum 2 tickets

• Adding a strategy guide to a page in Category:Needs strategy guide. Note that the strategy guide must either be your own work, or another person's work used with permissions and significantly reworked to comply with the wiki's style guidelines. This gives at minimum 2 tickets

• Write a page about an important modding concept. This gives at minimum 4 tickets

• Other improvements to the wiki give tickets based on the judgement of the person assigning tickets. Content additions, structure improvements, and grammar improvements are prime examples of contributions that'd fall under this

Reporting completion

For most of the above, no report of the action is necessary. A descriptive edit summary is enough.

If you believe you have made a significant contribution ("Other significant improvements to the wiki"), or that your ticket-earning contributions have been missed, this can be reported at User talk:Meneth.

All earned tickets are be listed below on a per-user basis. There is no need to notify Meneth that one is entering the contest (except for the specific contributions mentioned above); it is assumed everyone wants a chance at winning a prize.

2+ ticket contributions

Specific

• Add a guide for any of the Hard, Very Hard or Insane Achievements, which is assessed as B-class or above without any outstanding ambox requests

Generic

• Improving an article by such an extent that it is reassessed at a higher level. See Category:Articles by quality for information on how assessment works

• Significantly improving an A-class or FA-class article

• Adding a strategy guide to a page in Category:Needs strategy guide. Note that the strategy guide must either be your own work, or another person's work used with permissions and significantly reworked to comply with the wiki's style guidelines

• Write a page about an important modding concept

• Other significant improvements to the wiki

One ticket edits

Specific

• Properly describe two conditions in the "unsorted" section of the conditions page. This includes putting them in the appropriate table(s) and filling out "type" and "description"

• Add two missing scopes to the scopes page. This includes putting them in the appropriate table(s) and filling out "new scope", "type" and "description"

• Add two missing commands to the commands page. This includes filling out "effect", "how to use", any caveats, and "scope" for commands that go in "other scopes"

• 1 ticket per 5 {{Event}}, {{Mission}} or {{Decision}} templates added to the Computer generated pages.

• 1 ticket per 4 pages. Updating an Events, Missions or Decisions page to use the {{Box wrapper}} template.

• 1 ticket per 10 infoboxes versioned from Category:Pages with infoboxes without versioning

Generic

• Ensure that two pages are up to date. See outdated pages for a list of potentially outdated articles. If no changes are necessary for the page to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on its Talk page. If the page is versioned for 1.10 or 1.11, updating it is worth 50% more (updating 4 pages will give 3 tickets). Updating a page for 1.9 or older is worth 300% more (updating 1 page will give 2 tickets).

• Update four outdated page sections. See outdated pages for a list of potentially outdated articles. Most of these are versioned by section. If no changes are necessary for the section to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on the page's Talk page. If the section is versioned for 1.10 or 1.11, updating it is worth 50% more (updating 8 sections will give 3 tickets). If the section is versioned for 1.9 or older, updating it is worth 300% more (updating 1 section will give 1 ticket). An outdated image is worth the same as an outdated section of the same age. Note that when the section is up to date the section versioning should not be removed, but rather set to "1.14". This will make it stop displaying until 1.15 is released.

• Update 10 infoboxes. See outdated pages for a list of potentially outdated articles. Many of these include versioned infoboxes. If no changes are necessary for the infobox to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on the page's Talk page. If the infobox is versioned for 1.10 or 1.11, updating it is worth 50% more (updating 20 infoboxes will give 3 tickets). Note that when the infobox is up to date the infobox versioning should not be removed, but rather set to "1.14". This will make it stop displaying until 1.15 is released.

• Correcting 5-10 (depending on rework needed) spelling, grammar, or minor factual mistakes on the wiki. Note that British vs. American English does not count

• Replacing a 192x128 flag with 800x533 versions or above, to a max of 1000x666. The replacement must not be upscaled, and must be similar to the in-game flag. Note that only flags that have emblems or similar will count, as simple geometric shapes do not see any real improvement from higher resolution. You can see all flags here at the size normally used on the wikis. If it doesn't look bad on there, replacing it will not give a ticket. Note that only users with at least one edit that have been registered for at least 10 minutes can upload images

• Verifying a piece of uncertain info on a page that needs verification

Reporting completion

For most of the above, no report of the action is necessary. A descriptive edit summary is enough. Please only contact Meneth about tickets if you've got any complaints about the # of tickets given, if 72 or more hours after your actions you've yet to receive any tickets, or for the circumstances described below. Questions about anything else are welcome at any time and will be answered as soon as possible.

Correction of spelling/grammar mistakes has to be reported to Meneth. This can be done at User talk:Meneth. Simply state that you believe you've fixed enough issues, and Meneth will check your edit history.

• Replacing a 192x128 flag with 800x533 versions or above, to a max of 1000x666. The replacement must not be upscaled, and must be similar to the in-game flag. Note that only flags that have emblems or similar will count, as simple geometric shapes do not see any real improvement from higher resolution
• Verifying a piece of uncertain info on a page that needs verification
• Ensure that two pages are up to date. See outdated pages for a list of potentially outdated articles. If no changes are necessary for the page to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on its Talk page. If the page is versioned for 1.7 or older, updating it is worth 50% more (updating 4 pages will give 3 tickets). Updating a page for 1.1 or 1.2 is worth 100% more (updating 1 page will give 1 ticket). Updating from 1.10 to 1.11 once 1.11 is released will only be worth half as much.
• Update four outdated page sections. See outdated pages for a list of potentially outdated articles. Most of these are versioned by section. If no changes are necessary for the section to be considered up to date, a justification must be written in the edit summary or on the page's Talk page. If the section is versioned for 1.7 or older, updating it is worth 50% more (updating 8 sections will give 3 tickets). If the section is versioned for 1.2 or older, updating it is worth 100% more (updating 2 sections will give 1 tickets). Note that when the section is up to date the section versioning should not be removed, but rather set to "1.10". This will make it stop displaying until 1.11 is released. Updating from 1.10 to 1.11 once 1.11 is released will only be worth half as much.

Specific:

• Properly describe two conditions in the "unsorted" section of the conditions page. This includes putting them in the appropriate table(s) and filling out "type" and "description"
• Add two missing scopes to the scopes page. This includes putting them in the appropriate table(s) and filling out "new scope", "type" and "description"
• Add two missing commands to the commands page. This includes filling out "effect", "how to use", any caveats, and "scope" for commands that go in "other scopes"

The following actions earn a varying number of raffle tickets. Usually two or more:

• Improving an article by such an extent that it is reassessed at a higher level. See Category:Articles by quality for information on how assessment works
• Significantly improving an A-class or FA-class article
• Adding a strategy guide to a page in Category:Needs strategy guide. Note that the strategy guide must either be your own work, or another person's work used with permissions and significantly reworked to comply with the wiki's style guidelines
• Rewrite an existing strategy guide or page to conform with the style guidelines
• Write a page about an important modding concept
• Other significant improvements to the wiki

Any action on the list undertaken between the release of El Dorado and the end of the raffle will earn tickets.

Reporting completion

For most of the above, no report of the action is necessary. A descriptive edit summary is enough. Please only contact Meneth about tickets if you've got any complaints about the # of tickets given, if 24 or more hours after your actions you've yet to receive any tickets, or for the circumstances described below. Questions about anything else are welcome at any time and will be answered as soon as possible.

Correction of spelling/grammar mistakes has to be reported to Meneth. This can be done at User talk:Meneth. Simply state that you believe you've fixed enough issues, and Meneth will check your edit history.

If users believe they had made a significant contribution ("Other significant improvements to the wiki"), or that their ticket-earning contributions have been missed, this can be reported at User talk:Meneth.

All earned tickets are be listed below on a per-user basis. There is no need to notify Meneth that one was entering the contest (except for the specific contributions mentioned above); it is assumed everyone wants a chance at winning a prize.
