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
- Use Talk pages
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
