__NOTOC__[[CDB|Main]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''<center>[[Image:Wurmonline-logo-UnofficialWurmLogoLarge.jpgpng]]</center><br style="clear:both;"/>==General guidelines==
These [[Style|guidelines ]] are not meant to make WurmPedia 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.
All of the relevant game, chat and forum rules should be abided by when making modifications to the Wurmpedia. ===Basic guidelines===* Keep pages shortand to the point, proof read before saving to avoid multiple edits.
* Avoid use of HTML when wiki markup will do.
* Keep the content of the article focused.
* Be respectful of others.
===Discussion guidelinesDiscussions=== * Put discussion on the '''discussion''' or '''talk''' tab (every page has one).* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signatures Sign your name with four tildes <nowiki> ~~~~ </nowiki> ] at the '''end''' of your comment.* Put your comment below all the rest under a given and relevant 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). You may also start a topic in the [http://forum.wurmonline.com/index.php?/forum/119-wurmpedia-wiki-maintenance/ Wurmpedia forum maintenance section].
* Avoid deleting other people===Basic Wikisyntax===For a complete list of syntax, visit the [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Mediawiki page] on formatting. Not everything listed may be available on the Wurmpedia due to internal restrictions. <div align="left">{| style="border:1px solid #A3B1BF; -moz-border-radius:10px; text-align:left; background:#f5faff; width:65%"|-<!--COLUMN HEADINGS-->| width="25%" style="background: #cee0f2; padding: 0.3em; text-align:center;"|'''Description'''s work| style="background: #cee0f2; padding: 0.3em; text-align:center;"|'''You type''' * If you must delete and something you deleted reappears, | width="25%" style="background: #cee0f2; padding: 0.3em; text-align:center;"|'''do notYou get''' delete it a second time|-<!--1ST HEADING-->| colspan="3" style="background: #cee0f2; padding: 0.2em; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 0.

==Misc==
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 <nowiki>{{smiley}}</nowiki> to use on Talk pages. Smile! {{smiley}}
You can use [http://wwwjtidy.jtidysourceforge.de/jtidynet/ JTidy] to convert HTML snippets to Wiki syntax.__NOTOC__
