==General guidelines==
 
 
 
These guidelines are not meant to make WurmPedia a bureaucracy, but to make it easier for everyone (including you) to edit and discuss things. Remember you can help people get to know how to use a wiki, even if you're a beginner yourself.
 
 
 
* Keep pages short.
 
* Avoid use of HTML when wiki markup will do.
 
* Keep the content of the article focused.
 
* Be respectful of others.
 
 
 
===Discussion guidelines===
 
 
 
* Put discussion on the '''discussion''' tab (every page has one).
 
* Sign your name with four tildes <nowiki> ~~~~ </nowiki> at the '''end''' of your comment.
 
* Put your comment below all the rest under a given header.
 
* Do not interrupt other peoples comments.
 
* Put new topics under a new header at the '''bottom''' of a page.
 
 
 
===Editing etiquette===
 
 
 
* Avoid deleting other people's work.
 
* If you must delete and something you deleted reappears, '''do not''' delete it a second time.  Use <s>strikethrough</s> and work it out with the other person using the '''discussion''' tab (every page has one) or the user's '''discussion''' tab (every user has one).
 
 
 
==Misc==
 
 
 
Refer to the help page on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing WikiMedia.org]<br>
 
Refer to [[Style]] for guidance on rules that help to maintain Wurmpedia's standards.<br><br>
 
There is a [http://wikipedia.mozdev.org/index.html Firefox Extension for editing the wiki], which is very useful.
 
 
 
If you are a poor speller there is also a [http://www.svarteper.com/ff/aspellfox/ Spell-checker Extension] for [http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ Firefox], and alternatively a plugin is available for Internet Explorer.<sup>[http://www.iespell.com/]</sup>
 
 
 
Consider creating [[MetaWikiPedia:Template]] for text that is often used. Templates could be used to make menus, headers, and footers. The main WikiPedia use them a lot. For example: [[MetaWikiPedia:Template:H:f_Help|Help Footer]].
 
 
 
Some [[:Category:Template|common templates]] here are:
 
:*<nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki> which marks a page as being a stub and lists it in the [[:Category:Stub]] page.
 
:*<nowiki>{{cleanup}}</nowiki> which marks a page´s layout as requiring attention.
 
:*<nowiki>{{copyedit}}</nowiki> which marks a page´s spelling or grammar as needing improvement.
 
:*...and finally <nowiki>{{smiley}}</nowiki> to use on Talk pages. Smile! {{smiley}}
 
 
 
You can use [http://www.jtidy.de/jtidy/ JTidy] to convert HTML snippets to Wiki syntax.
