Hi Gsimenas,

Firstly, thank you for all of your contributions to the wiki over the years - I probably wouldn't have gotten this into the series if the wiki hadn't been this detailed, and I cannot even begin to imagine how many hours you must have spent - I see that you have over 30000 edits?! (I saw the first season of the anime soon after it aired, but then mostly forgot about the series until a few years ago, when I decided to look it up and see if there were any more of the series. Upon discovering and reading through this wiki, I became intrigued enough to buy all of the light novels, and since then, let's just say that I have become quite the Kawahara fan...)

Recently, on a whim, I decided to actually join the wiki, and I'm very willing to help out when I have time, although I'm relatively busy with university in general. I own most of the source material including some stuff for which the wiki pages have not been created/are missing details. In particular, I have the Japanese limited anime edition CDs for the OPs and EDs of Season 3 and Alternative GGO, and I bought Volume 4 of the Japanese limited edition Blu-ray release of Season 3 for the first volume of the soundtrack. I intend to buy the other Blu-ray volumes that contain volumes of the soundtrack, but haven't yet figured out which ones they are (it appears to be either 7 or 8 or both 7 and 8, and I'd rather avoid buying both if only one contains a soundtrack volume, seeing as they're rather expensive, and I intend to buy the US limited edition release when it comes out - I don't speak Japanese).

With this in mind, I should in theory be able to create/edit pages for those OPs and EDs and the first volume of the Alicization soundtrack; however, I am very new to Wikia and couldn't figure out how to upload and link audio files. Moreover, I couldn't find a policy anywhere as to what kind of encoding settings should be used for audio files, even though I found such a page for images. I downloaded two audio files from this wiki and found that one was .ogg and one was .ogx, and they apperaed to be variable bitrate rather than constant, so it seems like I can't even find it out by working backwards... And, lastly, with regards to creating new pages for some of the OPs/EDs, I inspected the code of some finished OP/ED pages and not only does it look pretty intimidating, I couldn't find a format to copy on the New Page Templates page.

What would you suggest that I do?
