So, the EU IV Wiki has gradually fallen far behind the game. Many, many basic articles are out of date: Mechanics, Religion, Trade, Economy, strategy articles for some of the most commonly played countries like France, etc. A lot of these have not been updated since patches 1.12 or 1.10. Articles on more difficult countries, like in the Rest of the World, haven't been updated in a long time, and these articles are among the most useful country-specific ones for beginners or intermediate players trying to branch out. Patch 1.18 looks to be one of the most game-changing patches since Art of War, which will just make the out-of-date articles even less effective.

I've seen contests or drives to motivate players to improve Paradox Wikis before. I think it would be a good idea to implement another one if possible to encourage the community to do some much needed work on the Wiki to enhance its value as a reference or strategy guide.

Edit: I've been working on updating articles but I'm only one player and I haven't played a lot of common countries (the Netherlands, Spain, Great Britain, etc.) because I prefer to play in RoTW.

There will be a contest on the wiki starting with Right of Man's release, which will encourage people to update the wiki.
It will run for just under two weeks.
It'll be the 8th such contest we've held. They've been extremely effective in the past, so it should work well this time too.

You can read more about the contest here: http://www.eu4wiki.com/Europa_Universalis_4_Wiki:Contest

Good to hear! I'll make sure to participate. I already rewrote the article on the Maya (I know that has no influence on the contest) and am going to go edit it again after RoM releases but there is just...so much that needs to be done.
 
As the person running this contest I have a bit of advice it is required to have a wiki account. We don't award tickets to anonymous IPs. If you have a paradox account then its easy to link the accounts.
