FAQ

Common questions about how CivCentral works. Want more background? Read the About page.

What is CivCentral?

CivCentral is the home for Minecraft civilization events: find the ones worth your time with honest ratings and info you can trust, and — once an event ends — document the nations, characters, wars, places, and artifacts that made it.

How do I find events?

Browse upcoming events from the home page and the Upcoming page, and explore the hosts running them. Each event has its own page with the details and player ratings.

How do event ratings work?

Logged-in members rate events on a 1-to-5 scale. Ratings are shown on each event and collected on the Event ratings page, so you can see what players actually thought instead of relying on hype.

What is the difference between a Record and an Account?

A Record holds the documented facts and needs evidence; it is reviewed before publishing. An Account is the in-character side, written from a player or faction's point of view, and is credited to its author.

Who can contribute?

Anyone can browse CivCentral without an account. To rate events or add and edit entries, create an account. New contributors' submissions are reviewed by an archivist before they go public.

What is an archivist?

Archivists are staff who review submissions, keep entries organized, keep ratings and info honest, and handle conflicts and moderation. They can publish, request changes, mark records as disputed, roll back edits, and remove content.

What does 'disputed' mean on a Record?

When more than one Record is filed for the same subject and they conflict, an archivist can flag them as disputed. Both Records are kept and shown side by side instead of one being deleted.

Can I edit or delete my entry?

You can edit your own entries at any time, and every save is kept as a revision. Removing entries is handled by archivists.

How do I add evidence?

Record entries need at least one image URL or source link. Paste it into the evidence field when you create or edit the Record.

If my submission is sent back, do I lose it?

No. It becomes a draft on your My Contributions page, along with the archivist's note on what to change. Edit it and submit again.

How does my Account get published faster?

Trusted contributors' Account entries publish immediately, while Records always go through review. Archivists grant the trusted role to reliable contributors over time.
