Become a part of the Wiki Staff!
Hello, everyone! ♡
As you may have noticed from the title, we are looking for more Wiki Staff Members! The PokéHeroes Wiki is closed for everyone (apart from the Wiki staff) to prevent users from making unnecessary SPAM.
By becoming a member on the Wiki Team, you will have full access to the Wiki. This will allow you to edit and make articles and also keep all information up to date for everyone.
How can I join?
Good question! To apply, you will need to write one or more articles on specific topics (which are listed below). It's important that you submit them to me (imagine) in a Private Message with the title "Wiki Helper Application".
This is the list of the articles which will need to be made for submission. You can pick any topic you want to write about.
Note: You can make a minimum of 1 article. Making more than 1 article will increase your chances of being hired on the Wiki Team.

• Helpful: Your article will need to be helpful and informative as possible for everyone. This means going into detail about certain features.
