	== How to Contribute ==		__NOTOC__
	~~Anyone~~ can ~~edit and improve~~ the ZelocoreCMS Wiki. ~~Please read~~ our [[ZelocoreCMS:~~Style_Guide~~\|~~Style Guide~~]] before ~~starting~~.		{{Community_Page}}

			<div style="font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.6; margin-bottom: 20px;">
			Welcome to the '''ZelocoreCMS Wiki Contribution Guide'''! This wiki is a collaborative encyclopedia dedicated to documenting every content management system in the world. Whether you are a CMS developer, an agency owner, or an everyday user, your knowledge helps the community grow.
			</div>

			== 📝 How to Contribute ==

			There are three primary ways you can contribute to the ZelocoreCMS Wiki:

			=== 1. Submitting a New CMS Platform ===
			If you know of a CMS (or created one yourself) that is not currently listed in our [[Category:CMS_Platforms\|directory]], you can easily submit it!

			* '''Step 1:''' Go to our dedicated '''[[ZelocoreCMS:Submit_CMS\|Submit a CMS Portal]]'''.
			* '''Step 2:''' Type the name of the platform and click Create.
			* '''Step 3:''' The system will automatically load the correct template (Infobox and article structure). Fill in the data to the best of your ability.
			* '''Step 4:''' Click Save! Your submission will enter the [[Category:Pending_CMS_Submissions\|Review Queue]] where an admin will verify it and publish it to the public database.

			=== 2. Editing Existing Articles ===
			See an error, outdated version number, or missing feature on a platform's page? You can fix it!

			* Navigate to any CMS page and click the '''Edit''' tab at the top.
			* We recommend using the '''VisualEditor''' for simple text changes, or switch to '''Source Editing''' if you are comfortable with Wikitext and want to modify templates or infoboxes.
			* Always leave a brief "Edit Summary" explaining what you changed before saving.

			=== 3. Joining Discussions ===
			Every article has a dedicated '''Discussion''' (Talk) page. If you are unsure about making a major edit, or want to suggest a structural change to a page:
			* Click the '''Discussion''' tab at the top left of the article.
			* Click '''Add topic''' to start a new conversation.
			* Discuss changes with other community members and wiki administrators.

			== 👨‍💻 Creating a Developer Profile ==

			We encourage active contributors to create a public profile to showcase their expertise.

			# Navigate to your user page by clicking your username at the top right.
			# Click Create/Edit.
			# Add the <code><nowiki>{{Developer_Profile}}</nowiki></code> template to the top of your page. Fill out your GitHub, Twitter, and CMS specialties!
			# You will be automatically added to the [[ZelocoreCMS:Developers\|Developer Directory]].

			== 🏢 Claiming an Official CMS ==

			If you are the official founder, owner, or core maintainer of a CMS listed on this wiki, you can claim the page.
			* An officially claimed page receives a green verified banner and replaces the "Community" status with an "Official" status in the infobox.
			* To claim a page, visit '''[[ZelocoreCMS:Claim\|Claim Your CMS]]''' and follow the verification instructions.

			== 📐 Style Guidelines ==

			To keep the encyclopedia professional and uniform, please adhere to these rules:
			* '''Neutral Point of View (NPOV):''' Write factually. Avoid marketing jargon, superlatives (e.g., "the best CMS ever"), and promotional language.
			* '''Citations:''' Whenever possible, link to official documentation, GitHub repositories, or press releases.
			* '''Clean Formatting:''' Use standard MediaWiki headers and bullet points. Do not use raw HTML or custom CSS styling in articles.

			<div style="background-color: #eaecf0; padding: 15px; margin-top: 30px; text-align: center; border-radius: 5px;">
			'''Ready to get started?'''<br>
			Head over to the '''[[Special:RecentChanges\|Recent Changes]]''' page to see what others are working on, or visit the '''[[ZelocoreCMS:Submit_CMS\|Submit Portal]]''' to add a new platform!
