RogueBasin:Conventions

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

Some proposals:

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.

• In case of conflict, fall back on the Wikipedia Naming conventions and the Wikipedia Manual of Style.

• 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.

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 –Username^Talk, go into your preferances and paste:

<b><i>[[User:USERNAMEHERE|–DISPLAYNAMEHERE]]^{[[User_talk:USERNAMEHERE|Talk]]}</i></b>

into "Your nickname". Please do not add a very long signature, as they tend to make the wiki code hard to follow.
