WikiRules

1.  This is highly experimental/beta!  Take the information here with a grain 
      of salt.  
***Things are highly subject to change.***

2.  Immortals have final say in everything.

3.  This is not a forum; take that to crier (or at least the relevant talk pages).  
       Keep discussions to discussion pages, not onto any of the main pages.  
       Minimize whining.
***This is intended as an information repository, and should remained as unbiased 
as possible.***

4.  Keep it PG-13.  Spam/vandalism/profanity/general stupidity will most likely 
       result in revoking of edit privileges.  

5.  Play nice.  No slandering other people, no libel, no childish or adultish name 
       calling.  Keep all that nonsense to yourselves and off the wiki.

6.  Suggestions are just that, suggestions.  They are not demands or orders or 
       whatever have you, so if someone doesn't drop everything they're doing to just to 
       appease your whim, tough beans.  
    Suggestions will be reviewed and if deemed beneficial and reasonable, 
       someone might implement the idea, time and energy permitting.  Sloth second, 
       real life first.

General Notes

• Bear in mind, content is still being added. There is a LOT of information that needs to be added, as well as redesigning of some formats. Probably about 91% of the content has been moved as of this writing.
• Most pages have been created or redlinked for future creation. If a page must be created, check to see if it doesn't already exist (and just needs another redirect), and if not, maintain the proper format.
• Use the Sandbox for test edits, not the pages themselves.
• Might add navboxes here and there as necessary/if I feel like it.
• Yes, the search engine is terrible. But not much can be done with it. For now.

Page Addition Guidelines

Pages: Abilities Help Files

• Include all the categories, regardless of if the relevant spell/song/skill uses them all. Does not apply to generic help files, but adding See Also: would be nice
  • Usually the file will have already been created. If it hasn't been made, check your spelling FIRST, before making a new page. Then check the ingame spelling!
  • Some are currently rather embarrassingly devoid of content, namely the ones that simply state "Area version of X spell". Fill them out please!
• Additional notes are just that, additional notes. Do not reiterate the help file again, or paraphrase/translate it into anything like simple breakdown of effects (e.g. try to avoid directly saying "armor gives you -2.0 ac, lion chorus gives you exactly +whatever to damage, stab multiplier is exactly x, &c").
• Keep terms relative, not specific ("stronger version of blah, greatly increases hitroll, moderately boosts hpregen, &c")
• Not every page needs additional notes; most files are clear enough for those with half a brain to dechiper (even to those holding someone else's half!)
• Keep it short! Break long entries into smaller ones

Pages: Areas

• If you feel compelled, feel free to write a little story/description of the area based on the ingame area descriptions. Be nice. The original builder, should they still be around, has final say.
• Quick Notes section just for notes that would usually be written on the map itself
  • examples include keys to get into the area, water breathing/fly warnings, aggro/patrol warnings, &c
  • this is not the section to mention 'great mobs to hit' or strategies. Add those to General Notes and Tips
• NO equipment/equipment stats &c. That's what eqlist is for. Mentioning one or two prize pieces in the area is acceptable (no stats, just link the eq to eqlist)
  • format is:

{{WikEQ|name=short name|keywords=short name keywords}}   

Note: The template is case-sensitive!

Pages: Quests

• No full quest details, just quest giver and reward in the appropriate sections. Debating adding quest giver section to area pages, still haven't decided.

Works in progress:

1. Honor related stuff, including epics/raid mobs, helpfiles
2. Game Mechanics page needs to be redone, newbie guide needs to be formatted as well
