VRCWiki:How to Contribute

Our Welcome!

Welcome to the VRChat Wiki, and we're glad you're interested in helping with our knowledge base.

Here, we cover things like:

• How do I use VRChat?
• What are the VRChat controls?
• How do I do X in VRChat?
• How do I get started creating Worlds or Avatars in VRChat?

Not everything is about worlds and avatars! We also allow community contributions in the Community Hub! There, you can find guides and information of all kinds. Head over to the Hub to get exploring! If you are a creator or interested in using VRChat's Creator Companion or SDK, you may also be interested in our Creator Documentation. That webpage covers the technical documentation for creating content in VRChat.

Contributing to the Wiki

If you log in with a VRChat account, you can contribute to this Wiki as long as your account is in good standing! Please make sure you read our Guidelines first and understand what it means to write from a neutral point of view. If you intend on creating or editing an article about your own content, or on the behalf of a company or organization, it is required to read over the VRCWiki's Conflicts of Interest policy before publishing.

Namespaces

While MediaWiki doesn't use namespaces as part of its infrastructure, some places on the VRChat Wiki may have them, and you should be on the lookout for these when creating articles!

VRChat - Official VRChat Wiki pages. Only members on the VRChat Wiki Team can make changes to these pages; they’re primarily content pages, and guides about VRChat itself - topics include 'how to get started', user manuals, and references to reliable and up-to-date user guides. This also covers official applications and software, such as VRChat Creator Companion, and the VRChat SDK.

Community - The community namespace. Pages here should be focused on community pages, hubs, and creations. Check out the Community Hub for more information! This also covers community applications and software, such as Unity, Blender, and prefabs!

Category - These namespaces are for classifications and arranging ambiguations into organized lists, such as ''Category:Community Content''

VRCWiki - Namespace for pages in relation to the VRChat Wiki.

Special - Namespace for special pages.

Uploading Images

When uploading images to the VRChat Wiki, you can go to the Upload file page to do so. These images can be then embedded to any article that you edit. Please be sure to give a brief description or caption of the image in "Summary", but more importantly, please select the proper Licensing! While the supported file types include "png, gif, jpg, jpeg," and "webp", it is commonly best practice to upload still images using the .webp format, since it retains quality while being very optimized, compared to the .png format which takes lots of space. Keep in mind that the maximum file size to upload to the Wiki is only 2 megabytes per image, so please try converting your pictures to .webp format.

Do not write articles about yourself or other users

VRChat Wiki is a knowledgebase to write about VRChat content such as features, prefabs, and worlds. This Wiki is not a place to post personal information about yourself, or other users. Feel free to create and add onto your personal User: page, or interact with another editor using the Talk/Discussion page on another User: page.
