QBWiki:WikiProject Bounties

Bounties

Overview

Active: 6

This bounty system exists to incentivize the maintenance and expansion of the QBWiki. In this way it is largely an addendum to the existing Missing Articles project.

Kevin Wang is the head of this project and is responsible for organizing it and distributing payment - direct questions towards him.

Guidelines

• All bounties that involving creating new page necessarily require that the resulting page is adequately fleshed out. At minimum, a page must be functional in its primary purpose - if it is a page for a tournament, it should document when and what happened; if it's a page for a person it should list their affiliations; etc. In all cases, the appropriate categories and infoboxes should be included. The pages for relevant subprojects should contain more specific instructions.
• Any work that involves work with another project should aim to keep their progress pages updated.
• Redirects do not count towards any bounties involving page creation.
• After completing a task, one should visit the progress page for the task (accessible by clicking the ID of the bounty) and add a new row to the table with any requisite evidence, then tag the project head.
• Work that satisfies the criteria for a bounty may be submitted after the fact (that is, one does not need to be consciously working towards a bounty to receive its reward). However, this only applies to work that was done after the start of the program - all edits must be dated after the 20th of July, 2022 to be eligible for bounties.
