Editing Main Page (section)

== Edit missions ==

Edit missions are about contributing. The edit is made on Wikipedia
itself, by you, from your own account.

# '''Link your Wikimedia account''', once. The game only asks who you are — it never edits anything on your behalf.
# Find an '''Edit NPC''' in the city — same idea as the Reading NPC, but marked ✨✏️ with a quill.
# Pick your subjects. The NPC gives you '''3 articles that need work'''.
# '''Find the article in the city''' and open it. You can see what it is missing: no sources, no images, too short, not updated in years.
# '''Edit it on Wikipedia.''' The game sends you to the article and stays out of the way.
# Come back and tell the game you edited it. It checks your Wikipedia contributions and confirms the edit really exists.
# '''Then it waits 48 hours.''' This is the important part: the reward is held.
# After 48 hours the game checks again. '''If your edit was not reverted, you get the WikiCoins and XP.''' If the community reverted it, you get nothing for that article.

=== How much a mission gives ===

An edit mission has a base amount of WikiCoins. On top of that:

* '''+20%''' if your edit added a source (a reference).
* '''+15%''' if you added a new section.
* '''+50 WikiCoins''' the first time you ever edit that particular article.
* '''+10%''' for each '''Knowledge Fragment''' you used. Fragments drop around the city and in dungeons; each one is a hint about what a specific article is missing ("this article has no images", "paragraph 2 needs a citation"). Using a fragment on the article it belongs to raises what that edit gives.

So an edit that adds a sourced new section to an article you have never
touched gives the base, plus 35% of it, plus 50.

Later on this will get finer: adding a source or cleaning up bad content
will be worth more than fixing spacing, because those are the things
articles need most. Right now every edit uses the same base.
