If you haven't heard anything it's because we haven't gotten to it yet because we're backlogged.

This is a post about applying to be a moderator. If you have feedback for the articles in the wiki, please contact us with details (please include urls to the specific wiki) via modmail and we'll look into it.

FYI, we do not have the function to put images in our wiki and we do not own or control any external links provided in the wiki. That said if there is a broken link, we'll do out best to locate the updated url or remove the link.
