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
In-text code, directory paths, filenames and other non-standard terms should be italicised.
Bolds
Bolds should be used sparingly - only for the main titles and such.
Categories
Categorise content. It needs to be organised. When you write an article, adding a category will make it easier to find.
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
