This is a guide for wiki editors, meant to clarify standards for consistency and how-to procedures for editing this particular wiki (FOnline: Reloaded). It should cover these main topics:

• Basic Content Standards
  • Add a User Page for Yourself (so other editors can talk with you directly on wiki)
  • Ownership, Attitude and Etiquette
  • Upper Case vs Lower Case
  • Details: Where to Draw the Line (Follow Cannon, Avoiding Excess Info)
  • Page Names: An NPC's name might be simply "Joe" but no page should be simply called "Joe".

• Collaboration: Chat with other editors during editing

• Changelogs
  • Copy/Paste from Forum, format for wiki
  • Add Green Checkmark/UserName Henry (example) to items you edit

• Keep a Watchful Eye on Special Pages
  • Active Users and their edits! Proof-read each other's edits.
  • Orphaned Pages
  • Double Re-Directs
  • Wanted Pages
  • Dead-End Pages

• Image Files
  • Find an image that is already uploaded
  • While Avoiding Duplicates, Upload Additional Images
  • Where to Find Missing Images
  • Maintain File Type Standards

• Working with Templates
  • Find/Lookup Existing Templates
  • Copy/Use an Existing Template
  • Add a New Template

• Working with Categories
• Using Colors
