Edit Existing Puplished Data
This section explains how you can edit the data of any game, Person, Character, or Company that has already been published on the RNGD website. You can use this section to fix any mistakes, update any information, or add any details that are missing or incomplete.
There are two ways to edit existing published data, depending on whether your data has been reviewed and published yet or not:
- If you submitted your data through the Add Game Data form and it is still pending review and publication, you can go back to the form and make any changes you want.
- If your data has already been published, you need to go to the Edit Game Data form and choose the Game Data Type. Then, enter only the name of the game, developer, publisher, or platform and the fields you want to change with the new information.
To edit existing published data, you need to have an active librarian 🏛️ membership access level. You also need to follow the guidelines and rules of RNGD and provide valid sources and links for your edits.
