Help:Wiki guidelines

Content
While the documentation contains technical details mainly, the Wiki's aim is to provide more user-friendly documentation like tutorials and frequently asked questions. Redudancies should be avoided and articles should link to parts of the documentation instead.
Parts of Wiki could be linked to the reference, too: http://assault.cubers.net/docs/reference.xml
The most important aspects of this Wiki are the provision of task-oriented guides and tutorials and articles that focus on certain aspects of the game (ie. mapping, movement, etc.). Copying and pasting content is not acceptable because it may not be adapted to the Wiki.
Format and representation
- Page titles
- They must represent normal English language, but begin with a capital letter (not "Multiplayer Guide" but "Multiplayer guide", since "guide" is just a normal word)
- Headings
- ... must be used to organise and split up content for easier location
- Italicisation
- directory paths, names of files, clans or players and other non-standard terms should be italicised.
- Bolds
- Bolds should be used sparingly - only for the main titles and such.
- Embedded lists
- Some would prefer if embedded lists were more useful. The case is that links should be incorporated in descriptive text rather than just standing as a list. Wikipedia:Embedded list
- Link articles
- Sometimes another article explains a term or a command or describes players and clans more detailed. Try to interlink them to give the user a chance to find them.
Categories
Categorise content. It needs to be organised. When you write an article, adding a category will make it easier to find. The miniumm is to add the "language category". Look here for available language categories
Responsible staff
- Apollo has become the main contibutor ans works often on categories and templates.
- Drakas does perform a lot of editing and cleaning up on the Wiki.
- Nighthawk is responsible for the List of clans.
If you're unhappy with their actions, contact them on the Wiki.
