Habitica Wiki

Recently, I became elected as a leader of the Graduate Student Guild , one of the largest public guilds in Habitica. For being so specific, and for having the purpose of providing resources and support to prospective and current graduate students, the wiki was embarrassingly blank. While I've tried to flesh out the resources page on my own, I'm only one graduate student with one experience in one field and in one location. To properly become a place of resources, I knew I needed other people's help.  

We often encourage the use of challenges to help increase participation and engagement to keep guilds happy and active. Thus, I created a challenge to help pool resources within the GSG into the wiki. The challenge is simple: go to the wiki and identify an area/field that you have some good resources about. Post about those resources in the guild chat. This was gamefied by calling the wiki a "Treasure Chest" and naming/providing resources "Sharing the Wealth". I've set a 3 week deadline to encourage people to take time to find good resources but also have a deadline to work with so that I'm not constantly having to keep it updated (and so people can actually win prizes!).  

Long story short: I'm hoping that this is a great way to get people involved, engaged, and build up our pool of resources so that our guild mission is actually fulfilled. Let me know if you have other ways you've kept a guild active and build content!
