Welcome

Get detailed help on contributing to our community-built video game history archive.

Dbljump is a community-built video game history archive and online encyclopedia. It connects articles on games, platforms, companies, and people. These articles bring together structured data, images, information about versions and releases, researched text with citations, credits, places, and more. Dbljump editors help make these histories more complete, connected, and useful – one small contribution at a time.

These guides are a good place to start if you want to get involved, and the best place to find guidance on how to contribute well. If you’re new, start with how to become an editor and your first contribution. If there’s something specific you want to learn how to do, choose a section below or use the sidebar.
