== Contacting New Artists ==▼
Reaching out to new artists usually works best if done organically, as a dialogue. Since their permission is the most important piece if information we need, it helps to open with just that - if they don't agree, then all the other information we usually gather is useless.

=== Contact Form Templates ===
If you are unsure about what and how to say when reaching out to an artist, the following templates can be a useful starting point. You don't need to use them, but you can.

==== Follow-up / Questions ====
This is, more or less, the questions you should be asking. Explain that you would be creating a page dedicated to the artist and their art, and that you'd like them to answer these questions so you can do that. You can also direct them to [[Coppermind:Artists#Fan_artists]] for reference, if they want to look at some example pages.

* We like to have public contact information on each artist’s page, usually a preferred social media account or an email. How should we contact you in the future? If you prefer, you can share a more private contact form, like email, with the wiki Staff only, and leave a more public one, like a social media link or a website, on the page.
