Your article's status

Each article on this site has a status, which indicates how open it is to collaboration. You may also sort articles by their status in most views, which can allow you to easily spot open projects you could contribute to.

The initial author of the article sets the status and may change it at any time. An article's author may transfer author status to another user by contacting a moderator.

Keep in mind that in its essence, theinternetisgod is a collaborative project, and we encourage setting your article's status to as loose as you're comfortable with.

Free for All

Setting your article's status to Free for All will allow any seasoned user (that has enough user points to be able to write articles in the first place) to edit that article.

A version control system is in place, so the author still maintains the right to roll back any specific changes.

Personal Project / Open to Talk page suggestions

Setting your article's status to "Personal Project" or "Open to Talk page suggestions" will only give edit access to the users you choose. You may allow specific users access to the article through the "Grant" tab, on the top of your article.

If an article is set to Open to Talk page suggestions, the talk page can be used to ask for access to the article, usually by stating the changes you intend to make.

By setting an article to Personal Project, you declare that no collaboration requests should be done to the article's talk page. Comments can still be posted.
