#redirect[[Image:Wurmonline-logo-Unofficial.jpg]]<br style="clear:both;"/>==General guidelines== These guidelines are not meant to make WurmPedia a bureaucracy, but to make it easier for everyone (including you) to edit and discuss things. Remember you can help people get to know how to use a wiki, even if you're a beginner yourself. * Keep pages short.* Avoid use of HTML when wiki markup will do.* Keep the content of the article focused.* Be respectful of others. ===Discussion guidelines=== * Put discussion on the '''discussion''' tab (every page has one).* Sign your name with four tildes <nowiki> ~~~~ </nowiki> at the '''end''' of your comment.* Put your comment below all the rest under a given header.* Do not interrupt other peoples comments.* Put new topics under a new header at the '''bottom''' of a page. ===Editing etiquette=== * Avoid deleting other people's work.* If you must delete and something you deleted reappears, '''do not''' delete it a second time. Use <s>strikethrough</s> and work it out with the other person using the '''discussion''' tab (every page has one) or the user's '''discussion''' tab (every user has one). ==Misc== Refer to the help page on [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Editing WikiMedia.org]<br>Refer to [[Style]] for guidance on rules that help to maintain Wurmpedia's standards.<br><br>There is a [http://wikipedia.mozdev.org/index.html Firefox Extension for editing the wiki], which is very useful. If you are a poor speller there is also a [http://www.svarteper.com/ff/aspellfox/ Spell-checker Extension] for [http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ Firefox], and alternatively a plugin is available for Internet Explorer.<sup>[http://www.iespell.com/]</sup> Consider creating [[MetaWikiPedia:Template]] for text that is often used. Templates could be used to make menus, headers, and footers. The main WikiPedia use them a lot. For example: [[MetaWikiPedia:Template:H:f_Help|Help Footer]]. Some [[:Category:Template|common templates]] here are::*<span style="color: #000000;background:#E6FFE6;"><nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki></span> which marks a page as being a stub and lists it in the [[:Category:Stub]] page.:*<span style="color: #000000;background:#E6FFE6;"><nowiki>{{cleanup}}</nowiki></span> which marks a page´s layout as requiring attention.:*<span style="color: #000000;background:#E6FFE6;"><nowiki>{{copyedit}}</nowiki></span> which marks a page´s spelling or grammar as needing improvement.:*...and finally <span style="color: #000000;background:#E6FFE6;"><nowiki>{{smiley}}</nowiki></span> to use on Talk pages.
