A work in progress...

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
    • 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".
  • 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
