	As you may have noticed the wiki is a closed project. What this means is that we do not allow just anyone to create an account and start editing, its sort of similar to how Skyrat is a whitelisted community in-large. The requirements for entry are very low however, you wont need to be a software expert or the best writer on the planet to get an account on the wiki. The only thing we would like to see is a want to contribute and you're golden. An account can be made by anyone that is an admin on the wiki, these are usually staff members but the head wiki maintainer ''should'' also have these permissions. So feel free to ping either on the discord to try and get yourself access! And while you wait for your account to be created you have a good opportunity to read up on this guide and how to contribute to the wiki.		As you may have noticed the wiki is a closed project.

	To keep things looking consistent on the wiki we have an established standard for most if not all things. These are just small simple things such as naming conventions or where and how to use capitalization or emboldening of text. These are sort of pseudo rules but they do not always have to be followed if it helps with the page you are working on.<br>		To keep things looking consistent on the wiki we have an established standard for most if not all things.
