If you have something to add something but there is no page for it, feel free to create one! Even if it’s very short, just add the {{tl|stub}} tag to the bottom of the page, and eventually someone will come along and expand it. If you'd like to research something but don't know where to start, check out [[:Category:Stubs|Category:Stubs]] for short articles that need to be expanded.

== Investigation ==
{{Main|:Category:Articles needing investigation}}
There are many topics on the wiki which are not fully understood, or have aspects that have not yet been explained. Many of these topics can be found at [[:Category:Articles needing investigation]]. If you are able to elaborate on a subject or explain something that is not well-researched, it may lead to further developments in modding a reverse-engineering.

One way to improve the wiki is by fact-checking statements to confirm their accuracy. The category [[:Category:Articles needing fact-checking]] contains a list of pages with statements that need to be checked. If you are adding something to an article and you aren't 100% sure it's correct, add the {{tl|check}} tag so everyone knows it is unconfirmed.
Some statements on the wiki are unconfirmed and required fact-checking to confirm their accuracy. The category [[:Category:Articles needing fact-checking]] contains a list of pages with statements that need to be checked. If you are able to confirm something is true, simply remove the {{check|nocat=y}} tag or replace it with a [[Help:Contributing/Editing guidelines#Citing sources|citation]]. If you check a statement and find out that it’s incorrect, feel free to correct or remove it!

If you are adding something to an article and you aren't 100% sure it's correct, add the {{tl|check}} tag so everyone knows it is unconfirmed. If you come across a statement that you don't think is correct but you can't check it yourself, also feel free to add the {{Tl|check}} tag.

{{Main|:Category:Articles needing images}}
If an article has few or no images it is usually a good idea to add some. This typically just means taking a screenshot in [[Wikipedia:PCSX2|PCSX2]] and uploading it. A list of articles that need images can be found at [[:Category:Articles needing images|Category:Articles needing images]].
