DOSbox isn't at all easy to work with if you haven't done so before, and I happened to get my versions of TES I & II with the TES Anthology, where they came with a pre-loaded game launcher.

Also, for anyone looking to play them so that they can help out, there's a seriosuly steep learning curve!

At the moment, there are literally only about 3 or 4 people actively or semi-actively working on these old pages, so until we get more people to help out that section of the wiki is going to remain pretty dead. Nothing to be done about it. I have to agree with here. Even if I could, Arena/Daggerfall content is just too old and at best, we should just let that be an on-going project for a couple of users.

Morrowind content is the main game many will likely have heard about that needs the most expansion: I constantly come across stubs for it, same for ESO. It would be good for focus to be moved to ESO and Morrowind for a while if possible. I'm helping to clear out some of the disambiguations that are mostly centered around Morrowind content (usually they are 2-link disambigs which are quest+item/location/character, which doesn't help the wiki). This makes sense. I don't play ESO (not because I object to its new lore or MMOness or anything like that, just because I don't want to pay that much money), but I can sometimes help out with the Morrowind pages.

I don't know how well this would work, but I think we should get one or two users to be in charge of each game's editing work, who hands out jobs to everyone on their 'team', meaning that things are much more efficient. So, for example, someone is asked to gather screenshots for the Morrowind Mages Guild characters/quests, another user is tasked with writing walkthroughts for quests, etc. etc.
