AACWWiki:Policies and guidelines

Users and registering and suchlike

  1. All who wish to add and/or edit articles must be registered. Nothing special is required to be allowed to register.
  2. This wiki aims to have close ties with the AACW community as you find it on the AGEod forums. Therefore you are encouraged to sign up using the same nick you have at the forums, provided you have one. You don't have to, but read the next point before choosing not to.
  3. Forumites from the AGEod forums have the right to use the same nick here. Therefore, if someone finds their nick already in use, simply PM Rafiki at the forum with the e-mailadress you wish to use, and he will update the address for that user account here and reset the password (whereupon a new one will be sent by mail).

Content

  1. This is a wiki. That means that all content is "owned" by all editors, and anyone can edit anything. In fact, the philosphy is that the more people that get involved in editing articles, the better those articles will get.
  2. To learn how editing works here and which possibilities/restictions the wiki offers, take a look at Mediawiki's help pages
  3. If an article has a talk-page, make sure to take a look at it before editing; there might be a discussion there, relevant to what you're thinking of editing.
  4. If users disagree to what should be in a given article, it's better to discuss it in the article's "Talk"-page than to resort to "edit-wars". If you really can't agree, ask an admin to arbitrate or even decide.
  5. Some pages are protected from editing (e.g. this one). This is to protect them from vandalism. If you have suggestions for changes to protected pages, use the page's "Discussion"-page.
  6. Vandalism will not be tolerated. Even if there are tools to repair vandalized articles, it's still annoying and a waste of people's time. The admins will handle vandalism in any way they see fit, including determining what is vandalism and not (common sense usually governing this).
  7. Make sure you are familiar with the copyright regulations for this site, found in AACWWiki:Copyrights
  8. Keep the content here relevant to the game. Also, keep it family-friendly. Offensive and abusive content has no place here, and will be dealt with appropriately.

General

  1. The admins may take whatever measures they deem necessary to keep this place friendly, informative and relevant to AACW. Hopefully this won't be called for :-)
  2. If you have questions or comments you wish admins to see, you can e.g. use a given admin's "Talk"-page.
  3. Keep in mind that this is an English wiki, and non-English content will be edited/removed. If you add a link to a non-English page, please make a note of which language it is at the link.
