#* Is relevant. Do not create a page unless it makes sense. The goal of the wiki is to store, archive, and catalog the WOFTNW project as a whole. It should scarcely contain content that is not relevant to the project as a whole. For example, [[Jade Mountain Academy]] would be a very relevant page because it is a registered location on the Minecraft server. A page dedicated to an individual character is far less likely to be relevant. If you're not sure, ask a staff member.

#* Follows the rules. The rules listed on the Discord server apply here as well. This includes (but is not limited to): no hate speech, no NSFW content, keep content in English, no illegal content, no publishing personal information.

#* Is accessible. Like the Minecraft server, this site is ''not'' limited to users 13 and older. Be considerate to young users; no inappropriate content of any kind. Words like “damn” and “hell” are allowed in moderation so long as they are not directed at others.
#* Is complete. Don't create a section with one incomplete sentence. If you want to add a section to have content added later, add a message box by pasting in <code><nowiki>{{IncompleteSection}}</nowiki></code>.
# '''Keep a consistent style.''' When writing content, please remember the following:
#* When possible, add links to your page content. You don't have to link every occurrence of the word "SeaWing", for example. The first appearance should always link to the existing page.
#* When referencing a tribe, capitalize the ''W'' in ''Wing''. ''MudWing'', not ''Mudwing''.
#* Use formatting only when necessary. Keep headings short and use '''bold''' and ''italic'' sparingly.
#* When creating a list like this one, stick to either using ending punctuation or omitting it. Generally, short words or phrases don't need punctuation while longer phrases or sentences should have ending punctuation.
#* Use the [[Template:IncompletePage|IncompletePage]] and [[Template:IncompleteSection|IncompleteSection]] templates as needed by appending <code><nowiki>{{IncompletePage}}</nowiki></code> or <code><nowiki>{{IncompleteSection}}</nowiki></code> into the content body.


You can create a page by typing the name into the search bar. Any links that appear in ''red'' are pages that have not been created. Not sure where to get started? Check out this [[Special:WantedPages|list of wanted pages]]. You can find more resources in [[Special:SpecialPages|Special Pages]].
