NETwiki Content Creators
The NETwiki is part of PBEM's community engagement, and PBEM encourages NET volunteers to participate in the Wiki by creating and editing content.
Summary
Any NET volunteer, including an ATV, is eligible to be appointed by PBEM Community Preparedness Team staff to create or edit Wiki content. In exceptional cases, PBEM may also permit non-NET volunteers to participate. In all cases, content creation is:
- Voluntary, and creators/editors do not receive compensation for content;
- All content is considered public and not copyrighted. Therefore, content creators should never post proprietary information on NETwiki.
There are three classes of volunteer content creator on the Wiki, each linked to their class of editing permissions:
| Title | Permissions |

| Content Creators | Can create and edit NETwiki content, but all changes they make are subject to Wiki Administrator approval. |
| Content Editors | Can create and edit NETwiki content, and all their changes are instantly published without approval. |
| Wiki Administrator | Full editing and approval privileges, and they also have privileges to change permission levels for all other users. |
