Perplex City Wiki:Editing Guidelines

Wiki Layout

Guides to Good Editing / Wiki Rules

Heres some quick points to follow to ensure your pages dont get rollbacked, deleted or shufted. Also saving time of our Moderators.

1. An editor should be active on IRC, or at very least the Perplex City Forums at Unfiction]
2. Never sign any edits with your name, unless its a Talk page.
3. Follow the general flow and layout of the article, the headers have been put there for a reason, use them!
4. Never create new sections without passing it by a Moderator first, the Wiki is layed out how we see best so far, but we know we might of missed something. New pages about relivant subjects can be added without authorizing first.
5. Avoid editing the Main Page, usually a addition on this page is never needed (as it could be put on a subsection). If a edit is needed, contact a Moderator
6. Dont edit/post unless your sure it needs posting, the Wiki isnt a discussion forum, thats what Unfiction is for.
7. Never post speculation, this is a factual wiki, if there is spec then put it in the Current Speculation page.
8. Never move pages, let a moderator do this!

"Where do i put ...?"

• Websites - Link under Websites with a clear and unique name, usually the website URL (like Perplexcity.com.
• Objects/IRL items - Link under the Items page.
• Characters - Link under the Characters page under the relivant section.
• Email - Link under Communications page.

"How do i upload a image?

Use the Upload file link on the toolbox menu (Logged in users only)

"How do i upload another type of file (text, doc, etc..)?'

Well if its text, then make a new Wiki Page, if its a format that the Wiki doesnt recognise or cant use then use the Wiki's File Store, then put the link on the Wiki page.

"How should i format the page?"

1. Use headers, make a clear logical layout, if theres a Stub Page available for that type of page, Use it!
2. Always put a double return after a section, making it obviously seperated and clear.
3. Use bold to empasise interesting parts of the page, make it easier for skip reading.

"Where should i put comments about a page?"

Put them under the "Discussion" tab of a page, keep it from overwriting on the main wiki pages.
