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 ~~~~ 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 strikethrough 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 WikiMedia.org
Refer to Style for guidance on rules that help to maintain Wurmpedia's standards.

There is a Firefox Extension for editing the wiki, which is very useful.

If you are a poor speller there is also a Spell-checker Extension for Firefox, and alternatively a plugin is available for Internet Explorer.[2]

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: Help Footer.

Some common templates here are:

  • {{stub}} which marks a page as being a stub and lists it in the Category:Stub page.
  • {{cleanup}} which marks a page´s layout as requiring attention.
  • {{copyedit}} which marks a page´s spelling or grammar as needing improvement.
  • ...and finally {{smiley}} to use on Talk pages. Smile! Template:Smiley

You can use JTidy to convert HTML snippets to Wiki syntax.
