This is presented as a quick-reference guide for FOnline: Reloaded wiki editors only, meant to clarify standards for consistency and how-to procedures for editing this particular wiki. It is not comprehensive instructions for all-purpose editors of other MediaWiki projects. It should cover these main topics:
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".
- Do not add Player Factions to wiki. Let those faction's leaders do it, and only if active long-term.
Collaboration
- Chat with other editors during editing
- Use Talk pages
Basics of MediaWiki Editing
- Rules and Purpose
- Bold, Italics, Colors
Changelogs
- Copy/Paste from Forum, format for wiki
- Add Green Checkmark/UserName [[File:Yes_check.png]] [[User:Henry|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
