December 1, 2016: Now recruiting!
Zelda Wiki is now recruiting! Are you passionate about The Legend of Zelda and want to share your knowledge of the series? Then consider helping out the internet's largest resource for information about all things Zelda. Anyone can edit, but we need experts to ensure that our articles are correct and meet certain quality standards.

We are currently looking to expand our base of skilled editors and are especially looking for people with multiple talents, the primary skill being content writing. But content writing isn't all we're looking for! There are tons of projects that we're working on which involve diverse skills, such as: image editing, datamining and even 3D model editing and viewing. Don't be afraid to shoot us a submission if you have something to offer.

For any role on Zelda Wiki you'll need to be able to work as part of a team, be available regularly and use various applications to correspond and collaborate with us. Please note that Zelda Wiki is run entirely by volunteers, so we can't pay you for your work. For a full list of things to consider before applying, see here.

If you think you'd be a good fit for as staff, send an email to jobs@zeldawiki.org with the following application. A rundown and explanation of the application can be found below it.(Skip to it?)

Things to Consider
Before submitting an application, please be aware of the following: Incoming staff are placed as Trainees. Trainees are marked with Pieces of Heart in the Recent Changes to signify that you're still learning the ropes. The trainee period involves a lot of correspondence with trainers until both sides feel that they are sufficiently skilled in the work that they aim to do.

We use, a professional chat application, to conduct meetings and collaborate internally. Staff are expected to attend our weekly meetings, which are presently held on Saturday mornings. We share this space with the staff of Zelda Universe, and Wiki staff are required to be respectful of their channels and their work as they are to us. There are also additional services that staff may be expected to use which may require registration and may be shared with the Zelda Universe crew.

The review process takes heavy deliberation. Don't worry if you don't get an immediate response, we will be sure to get to you. Please only send in one application, as sending duplicates slows down the process. If you aren't selected, don't be discouraged! We can only select a limited amount of people to bring aboard at one time, but there is always work to be done! If you're not sure where to start, come join us and we'll be happy to show you where to get started.
