There has been a substantial outpouring of emotion and grief before, during, and after the final Starleague finals. While it marks the end of a tremendous era, I'd like to say something of import: If you truly care about Brood War,

and wish to see its legacy preserved for the future,

please consider editing the Brood War Liquipedia.



How can you help? The Brood War wiki has swathes of player pages consisting of nothing but a small Infobox. Entire Starleagues and other significant and notable tournament pages remain red-linked or otherwise empty due to a lack of info.



If you have taken photos or video of Brood War history over the years, the wiki could use your content as well. We are in great need of images that we explicitly have permission to use or fall under favorable licensing that allow its use on our wiki.



Even if you don't want to put in the time to do major content additions to Liquipedia, you can do small edits here and there for small stuff that we may have missed or gotten wrong. Every little bit helps!

What are you talking about. This is a great initiative.



If some people are planning on leaving with the conclusion of BW or just generally move on, this is a good time to accumulate as much info on the scene as possible to have a complete archive of its history. Since new information isn't going to be coming out in floods now, its a good idea to redirect resources to filling in gaps that were missed in the past. Don't be a hater. What are you talking about.

Did you even read the OP? He wants to preserve the facts (the past) so that anyone who's interested in reading about Brood War in the future can have access to the information.

Sadly, I only got into Starcraft truly when SC2 came out and don't know much. But, anything I learn and know will go on there. BW is the reason why we're all here for SC, one way or another, and it will never die for us.

Basically every page could at least be checked for typos, spelling and grammar.
