===What Can I Do?==== | |||
The most important thing that all members can help with is merging the common articles. For example, we have the GTW page on the [[Cheetah]] but also the old Wikia page at [[Project:Merge/Cheetah]]. You should try and merge the content of the two separate articles into the main one. Have a look at the [http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3AAllpages&from=Grand+Theft+Wiki%3AMerge&namespace=0 list of merged articles] to see the pages that need working on. | |||
If you were previously staff at en.gta.wikia.com, please show your continuing support for this site by working on this merged wiki. All existing GTW [[staff]] are continuing in their roles, but ex- en.gta.wikia.com staff must earn their place. | |||
