The contest has been going a week and you can still enter and try to claim a prize. I've just added bonuses to several outdated or high importance pages.
http://www.eu4wiki.com/Force_limit is now worth 40 tickets
http://www.eu4wiki.com/Nation_designer is now worth 45 tickets
http://www.eu4wiki.com/Mod_structure is now worth 24 tickets
http://www.eu4wiki.com/Scopes is now worth 51
In addition if any user were to complete the update for two of these pages they'd get a further bonus of 5 which rises to 10 for three pages and 20 for all four.

I think you forgot to update the "Last date" in which the tickets were given. ( It's still on october 14th )
I don't use that technique. I remark on last award date in the edit summary. The last update was for 18:00 CEST 18/10/2016
Man I'm so exited for the Awards, I did the math and I currently have around 55% chance to win one copy of each game 
( Only 0,012 of not getting anything, but I'd not question my luck :v ), and that icon looks awesome :b

This is the last chance to win, the contest ends in just over 24 hours. There are still two very old pages to update
http://www.eu4wiki.com/Mod_structure is now worth 32 tickets
- Explain the function of files and folders which can be modified. This means new mechanics since 1.12 but little else
http://www.eu4wiki.com/Scopes is now worth 68
- Add in scopes from the patch notes (including hotfixes)
Update both and I'll throw in a 20 ticket bonus too.
Good luck everyone.

I would have updated this two if I knew stuff about mods and these scopes :b It was already worth just so many tickets :v
I would love to help, but after spending an hour trying to understand scopes enough to be able to understand what to change on the page, I must admit—I'm stumped. I've only barely dabbled in modding, so unless someone can give me an example of what to do I'm afraid I can't be of assistance. Sorry.

More detail on each:
For mod structure its as simple as opening up the EU4 folder and subfolders in your steam directory and explaining the purpose of the files therein. For example in the common folder the leader_personalities is missing, open up that and the file inside and give a brief 1 line description of what it does. In this case "Defines the personality names, requirements and effects of personality traits for admirals and generals." . Someone has already made a start on this so it should be very easy.
Scopes is more involved, essentially check the patch and hotfix notes for any new scopes which have been added or removed. Test them using the console ingame and describe what they're used for. I'll admit this one is harder but its something the wiki needs to have updated.

Contest has now finished but you're more than welcome to keep editing the wiki. Its open all year round. Meneth will handle handing out prizes.
It's over as of ~10 minutes ago.
Giving it a quick look over before I hand out the prizes.

And all three games, too!Yaaay First Place
Funnily enough, you were the first person drawn for each of the three.
Wow, I didn't think that I was that lucky :b The chances of being First on all of three of them are 3,3% o.o
EDIT: And look at me worried because of 0,3% chance of not getting anything :v
Is there a unique avatar?Only until you get access to the unique Wiki avatar, right?
