Blackout Wiki:Wiki Guidelines

Wiki Guidelines/Editing Tips

 * Keep on subject. Try to keep articles related to the title. If you feel like you're going off on a tangent, try linking to a new article.
 * Several pages use standardized colour schemes, structure, and templates. If you're creating a new page, please follow the structure/colours/templating of similar existing pages.
 * Keep header names short and to the point. Lengthy headers make the Table of Contents ridiculously and needlessly wide.
 * If information is highly important/not easy to find, you should consider making a redirect for likely search terms. Redirects look like this: #REDIRECTpagename

Wiki Humour/Bolding

 * Please refrain from using strikethrough, random bolding, scaled up text, or making excessive random jokes.
 * We strive to keep the wiki as a to-the-point and semi-serious resource. The occasional clever joke in an article is fine, constant strikethrough humour is not.
 * Bolding and text-scaling should be reserved for headers, disclaimers, or important notes. You should never be using bold text in the middle of a sentence unless absolutely necessary.

New Pages

 * Create new pages only for legitimately new content.
 * Do not create new pages for testing purposes. This inflates our article count and they can be navigated to through 'Random page.'
 * If you need to test something, use your userpage. For instance, if your username is NeoTokyo, navigate to User:NeoTokyo and create a page there.
 * Userpages are not subject to editing from other contributors (please don't edit other people's userpages).
 * However, userpages that contain dead links or otherwise generate issues may be edited at the discretion of the people maintaining the wiki.
