==General Wurmpedia Etiquette==
* As the Wurmpedia team works as a team, we want to run any large changes past other editors and WAs before taking any steps. Trying to look at similar pages before you correct any formatting.
If you see wrong information, you can correct it yourself, but you may want to bring it up on Stay in touch with the rest of the Wurmpedia team via the Discord if it seems like a larger issue. Please don't assume that incorrect wiki information is brought on by malice. Don't engage in edit wars. Reverts are not (and shouldn't be) personalor IRC.

* Please report any vandalism to the wiki, but also fix it! * As of right now, the only language we are translating the Wurmpedia into is Russian. If you’d like to work on another language project (or that one!) please message the Manager or the team in general.
==Stylistic Guide==
For items with only one possible size (same weight, no combine), note the number of items needed with the suffix 'x', e.g. "15x [[stone brick]]". If the item can be reduced in weight (e.g. [[shaft]]), also include the minimum weight possible for use. For other items specify the total weight needed and avoid listing the "normal" number of items used.
For the English portion of the wiki, please Please use a decimal point (period) when referring to fractional numbers. Always specify weights with two decimal places. This avoids ambiguity between "item has integer weight" and "didn't bother to check exact weight".
===Itembox===
We have moved much of the information on crafting into the itemboxtemplate, including dye information. Please don’t add crafting instructions to the main article. If you need assistance with the template, ask in the Discord.
==Namespaces==
* Appearance: Here you can change the wiki skin (I hate all the other ones!), change the way dates and times are displayed, as well as your time zone, among some other things.
* Editing: The editing preferences contain many highly useful and awesome features that you can enable to help with your editing. You can Enable section editing by right clicking on section title, Edit pages on double click, Mark all edits minor by default, warn me when I leave an edit page with unsaved changes, side-by-side preview (shown below), and more.

===Recent Changes, Watchlist, Search===
* Recent changes: You can view the recent changes, which shows articles and files recently edited, in the Recent changes page (linked on the sidebar, as shown below). In your preferences, you can change how this page will display by default, including how many days to show, number of edits to show, you can group changes by page, hide minor edits, hide patrolled edits, and more.
