====== 🧬 About Wiki-DJ ======

=== 🌍 What Is Wiki-DJ? ===
**Wiki-DJ** is a community-powered platform for DJs, producers, and music crews to create and curate their own artist pages. 🎛️ Born out of frustration with rigid "notability" requirements on sites like Wikipedia, Wiki-DJ is an inclusive space where electronic music culture speaks for itself — without gatekeepers.

If you're part of the scene, your story belongs here. 🪩

=== 💡 Origin Story ===
Our founders tried to publish a DJ bio on Wikipedia, only to be told the artist "wasn't notable enough." That moment sparked something bigger: the need for a space where artists define their worth — not moderators with arbitrary standards. 🧨

Wiki-DJ is built **by artists, for artists**. The goal is simple: empower the community to document its contributions, without compromise.

=== 🚀 Where We’re At ===
We're currently in **soft-launch**. That means:

  * 🧑‍🎤 Artists can build their own profiles  
  * 🎚️ Crews can document events, collectives, and creative projects  
  * 🏷️ Labels, venues, and collaborations are welcome  
  * 🔧 Early users can shape moderation and site development  
  * 🧪 We're testing features, gathering feedback, and evolving in real-time  

If you're reading this, you're early. Help us lay the foundations of the most community-authored DJ encyclopedia on the web.

=== 🎯 Core Values ===
* 🔓 **No Gatekeepers** – Your page won’t be deleted for “notability.” Create freely.  
* 🫂 **Community-Led** – Moderation and relevance are determined by the artists and crews who use the site.  
* 🎶 **Built for Electronic Culture** – Whether you're a warehouse selector or festival veteran, your voice matters.

=== 🧑‍🚀 Join the Movement ===
We’re seeking contributors to help shape the platform:

  * 🗃️ Design structured schemas for artists, labels, and crews  
  * 🕸️ Build namespaces for scenes and events  
  * 🔍 Improve search, tags, and metadata  
  * 🛠️ Help moderate and guide editorial direction  
  * 📚 Co-create help docs and artist templates
