Writing a wiki is hard! But it is easier when more people work together. This page outlines various guidelines to help collaboration.
Protip:
This is only a guideline, it is a living standard and may be changed as we grow as a community, and it's not strictly required. All rules can be broken and this is no exception. |
Content Page Formats
Content pages should follow a general format so we can make sure the right info is on the page. Different topics have different formats, but each format isn't set in stone.
General
Content
Content should...
- not be redundant, if you need info on two pages, say, an item's page and it's source, put a link to the other page with a brief detail of the relevant info.
- be grouped on pages generally following the asset's variants, for example, all the plank types should be on one page because they don't really have much individual content.
- fit with American English spellings, 'color' over 'colour', and formattings, 'MM/DD/YY' not 'DD/MM/YY'.
MOS is useful.
Titles
Titles should...
- have the first word capitalized and all following words lowercase, for example: 'Stationary basket' not 'Stationary Basket'.
- reflect the name of the item in the game's assets, for example: 'Ore blasting bomb' not 'Bomb'.
Infobox usage
Try to use infoboxes wherever possible. See Category:Infoboxes for a list of all infoboxes.
