What is the VCC Wiki?
VCC Wiki is a wiki dedicated to the documentation of Valve's Cut Content. It was created in response to a perceived absence of this documentation in the more "generalist" Valve wikis.
As a result of this, our primary focus is on Valve's cut content, and the community surrounding it.
Why Not Edit?
Notice a factual error somewhere? See a formatting issue that nobody seems to have noticed? Try your hand at editing it!
Even if you don't do the job correctly, all that will happen is that someone will come over and fix it, telling you how to do it correctly the next time.
Don't be afraid to edit. It is easier to fix, than to have to build the whole thing. If you are unsure about editting an "official" page you can make a note of what you would change in the "Article-ToDo" section at the top of the page.
If you're looking for help or feedback, head on over to our official discord and @ai_relationship_wiki! This way you can talk in real time rather than waiting on the talk page.
Page Philosophy
Let's face it - we're not going to have a universal set of standards for everything, considering our weird and varied subject matter.
When doing something new, don't approach it with a bunch of pre-thought-out header structures in mind. Think to yourself, what would work best? Often, that's the way that gets the best results.
as noted earlier, anything you would like to add to a page but aren't sure about its structure, go ahead and add it to the article ToDo and that way it can be figured out before putting it on the actual article.
