Good wiki tips/etiquette[edit source]
- Make an account so you don't have to leak your IP and won't lose your contributions and talk page.
- The source editor is considered more powerful than the visual editor, so you may want to consider using it if you’re comfortable with it
- If you leave a message on another user's talk page be sure to sign it with ~~~~.
- Please do not leave messages on a page, use the talk page or the comments instead.
File etiquette[edit source]
- Don't upload files to the server just to never use them.
- Use the file replace tool instead of uploading dupes to the server.
- Don't delete files without anything to replace them with.
- Add proper descriptions to files
When creating a page[edit source]
- If you are creating a type of page please add it to its respective portal so it will be discoverable.
- Portals are alphabetical don't just put things randomly.
- If the portal does not exist/exactly match what you need, make it yourself, or message a more established user for help.
- Be sure to add respective categories to a page.
- Add the article to a disambiguation page if applicable.
- Link your article on other pages or else your page could become an Orphan
When writing a page[edit source]
- Use pictures, quotes, and infoboxes in your article. Nothing is worse than page of nothing but basic text and a picture speaks 1000 words.
- Make a proper effort to use [[pipes]] and [links] they make your article more dynamic.
- Templates are your friend, so use them. If you need a template but it doesn't exist create it or ask a more established user.
- Leave redlinks where you think there is a good opportunity for a page but don't be surprised if it gets cleaned up if it sits around too long.
- Avoid having your page becoming a stub by having a good amount of content.
