Directivas para los editores de wiki

This article/paragraph needs to be translated.

While creating or editing contents of this wiki, it should be paid attention to the following directives. This ensures a uniform and clear presentation and structure of the wiki.

Content

• This is a manual. Private contents do not belong into this wiki. For this please use one of the many providers of free webspace, the user profile or the Xhodon forum.
• Each user of this wiki owns a user page ("Usario:YourNick") and a talk page ("Usuario Discusión:YourNick"). The user page is used for information regarding this user, the talk page for discussion about this users work on the wiki.
• Contents, that do not belong into the wiki, will be deleted by the admins.

Articles

• Information should be stored with a minimum of redundancy. Create links to other articles instead of copying content.
• An article is worthless if it can't be found. Likely search terms should be redirected to the corresponding article.

File-Upload

• Please use significant names when uploading files/images, and preferably add a category. Take a look at existing (categorized) images to get an idea on the category system.
• Upload images/screenshots in full size and scale them in the articles by using the parameter "thumb". Please do not upload images in a reduced scale.

Form

Wording

• Please write in british english. The wiki is a game manual, the reader should notice that in the wording. Colloquial languageand expressions can be mentioned but should not be generally used.
• Don't use abbreviations, even if the are popular between experienced players. The wiki should be understandable for newbies.

Layout

• Usually the article name is written in bold letters at this first appearance. Don't use bold letters every time the expression appears.
• Linking to other articles is good, but too many links have a negative effect to the legibility. Only link to important articles. One link per expression and per paragraph (or per article, if it is short) is enough.
• Avoid manual line breaks (
  ). Blank lines are interpreted as the begin of a new paragraph.
• Insert images only if the illustrate the statements of the text. Too many images in an article distract the reader from the important informations in the text.

Editing

• When saving your edited version of an article, please leave a description of your changes in the field labelled "Summary".

Mistakes / Discussion

• If you find substantive mistakes or deficits, please leave a note on the corresponding talk page.
• In case of severe deficits please use the maintenance modules. The article will be added automatically to the corresponding maintenance category, so the deficit cannot be overlooked.
• To seperate the contributions on a talk page, please indent your text by putting one or more colons in front. Do not use horizontal lines instead. They are used (automatically by the headlines) to separate topics.
• Sort the contributions on a talk page by their theme. Sign them with --~~~~, for this you can use a button in the menu. This signature code will be translated into your name and a time stamp while saving the new version.
• You will receive a notification after logging into the wiki, if there are new contributions on your talk page. So if you want to talk to somebody about his work on the wiki, just leave a message on his talk page. Same rule as above: Start a new headline for every topic.

Wiki-Newbies

• The most effective way to learn wiki-text is to read the source of existing articles.
• In the article Sandbox and the Categoría:Sandbox you can experiment before editing articles.
• Use the preview function. In this way the other users, who keep an eye on the editings, do not lose the plot.
