This is to set out the basic conventions on this wiki.

  • If you want to keep your contribution to yourself until ready, build it under your user page (just start a new page named yourusername/pagetitle), and then move to the final place when ready.
  • Do not edit pages under the user pages of other.
  • Use only the talk pages for communication. Do not rely on emails as they are not visible to others on the wiki.
  • Keep the style of the wiki uniform.
  • Follow the Wikipedia style as appropriate. At least:
    • An article about something should have a brief lead paragraph.
    • The "References", "External links", and "See also" sections should be last
    • Use categories instead of handcrafted lists to cut down on maintenance.

That's it for now. We'll see how it develops.
