What is considered an inactive town ?

An inactive town generally follows these requirements:

Is large enough to be considered a real town, or have a unique characteristic that makes it worthy of being in the wiki (see Ice for example).
Has signs documenting the town. A town with no signs is not worth documenting! Search for the following:
- Signs containing the name of the town.
- Signs containing the usernames of the owner and other members.
Has an owner who has been inactive on the server since at least 10 months.
Does not already have a dedicated article (duh).

Please note that exceptions can be made. These are very broad requirements and do not cover every single case.

Finding inactive towns

On the server, you have a few methods for exploring:

using /wild (Recommended)
- Once you're teleported at a random location, use the World Map
- Enable All under the Regions button.
- Find the nearest inactive village or town, and make sure it is inactive
- If you think arriving at the nearest village
travelling from warps, nearby towns, minecart tracks, etc.
using StarGates
staff members can go brrr via flying (shhh) and /tppos x y z
combining any of these with the world map.

Documenting inactive towns

Be in the Discord guild and link your account if you didn't do so.
Once you're at a town:
- if it's claimed via JVillage, look up its name on J-Stats.
- if you've got the Mystic rank or higher, you can utilize LogBlock to see block logs.
For documenting stuff on wiki pages, take screenshots with F2 in-game or ⊞+PrtScr on Windows, or ⌘+Shift+3 on macOS; Linux distros and other OSes may have different keybinds for doing the same. (Unless you changed the keybinds.)
Fill out this form to keep track of which towns have their article written.
