Rough editing guidelines for various sections of RogueBasin, and general editor support.

General

  • When naming pages and headings, do not capitalize second and subsequent words unless the title is a proper noun (such as a name) or is otherwise almost always capitalized.
  • Pages should be impartial, and present all viewpoints and ideas fairly. Pages should not be biased towards any one game - Barbarian, for example, should not focus on NetHack's Barbarian, but should provide a general description, origin, usages, ideas, possible skills, etc.
  • Articles imported from rgrd should be named exactly as they were.
  • Roguelike is capitalized. RogueBasin is capitalized.

Talk pages

  • Post in chronological order, with newer entries and responses at the bottom, as per Usenet and other Wikis.

Support

Signatures

Don't forget to sign your message when you leave one at a talk page. Simply place four tildes, ~~~~, at the end of your message, and they will be converted into your signature and a datestamp.

To change your signature to something like –UsernameTalk, go into your preferances and paste:

<b><i>[[User:USERNAMEHERE|–DISPLAYNAMEHERE]]<sup>[[User_talk:USERNAMEHERE|Talk]]</sup></i></b>

into "Your nickname". Make sure option "raw signatures" is checked. Please do not add a very long signature, as they tend to make the wiki code hard to follow.
