DDO wiki:Editing guideline

This page is a stub ATM, and please note, we are NOT trying to set rules on how you can't do this and that etc on this wiki. On this page, we are just trying to summarize how we have handled things in the past, and to summarize agreements we have met on particular subjects etc.

DDOwiki Editing guideline

 * Guideline 1: Even if English is your second language, punctuation is always important.
 * Guideline 2: Lamannia data, should include as the first line. This is to distinguish the fact that what is seen here, may not be final.
 * Guideline 3: Templates are your friend. Not only do they make things easier on you, but they look many times better than simple pages that look like they came from your word-pad. A list of (most) templates can be found Here.
 * Guideline 4: When posting a question on somebody's Talk page, or the Reference/Help desks, is recommended. (Replace the X with whatever number the post is, if its the first, put 1, second put 2, ect)
 * Guideline 5: When Editing, the "Show Preview" button at the bottom of the page is your friend. Not only does it let you see what you've done, but you can also spot any places that might contain a broken template. (A single missed ] or } can break an entire page)
 * Guideline 6: When in doubt, Ask a regular. (You can find us by clicking the Recent Edits link)
 * Guideline 7: If you discover that something has changed in-game, feel free to correct it. If we revert said change, offer us proof, and we shall apologize.
 * Guideline 8: Keep it Civil. This is a place for the sharing of, and archiving information, not a Troll's Nest.
 * Guideline 9: This is likely the only absolute Rule you will find in this section, or for this site. Keep it Relevant. That means no advertisement pages for Copyrighted Fitness Product endorsed by a certain celebrity (Cough, Chuck), or Dating Services. Those sort of pages will be deleted shortly after being written, and you will be banned from editing even faster. Things not pertaining to DDO, Turbine, or Lamannia (with the exclusion of About Me and Talk pages) should be left to the Forums.
 * And remember: Abusive words should be left in Rap Music and Xbox Live headsets.
