The UniWiki does not require citation, though editors may choose to include it. Relevant section of the content guidelines.In particular, the UniWiki can be considered to operate under the following guidelines used by Wikipedia: The UniWiki defers to those guidelines set forth by Wikipedia, because it has set a standard of excellence that the UniWiki seeks to emulate. UniWiki guidelines For information about the UniWiki's house style see UniWiki:Manual of Style Good template documentation is the hallmark of a useful template. Avoid increasing complexity because it will burden newcomers. When making sweeping changes or working on a major project think about your legacy and all those who will come after you. Many hands will change the original page. What you write will be read a thousand times, long after you are done with the UniWiki project. Be bold! Don't let your fear of messing things up keep you from editing. Let's make the UniWiki the most beautiful and the most truthful publicly available knowledge repository in all of New Eden. Suggest and propose changes in your personal or public sandbox. Don't lead an edit war of attrition to see who is more persistent. The UniWiki is vast and ancient.Īdd, append, modularize, extend, reuse and link, don't duplicates, don't write redundant pages. Don't let the lack of consistency drive you crazy. They are set to avoid ambiguity and time waste.įeel free to suggest how they should change, but once a decision has been made, honor it. Standards and conventions are often arbitrary, come from tradition or are best practices learned from experience. Link and reference.Īrguing over conventions or standards or traditions and how they should change and how there are conflicting exceptions to a rule is counterproductive. Keep the number of templates, categories and rules small, strongly worded and concise. This applies to templates, categories, pages, sections and paragraphs.ĭon't copy and paste. When you protect a page indefinitely you take full responsibility for its maintenance because you are now among the very few who can can edit it.Įach piece of information should have one and only one home that is kept up-to-date. Protect pages only after vandalism has occurred, not before. Don't prevent editors from contributing by protecting a page. Treat your fellow editors with dignity and assume they have good intentions. Vandalism is exceedingly rare even though any capsuleer can edit the UniWiki. This is especially true when it comes to UniWiki newcomers. Use your powers sparingly and with great forethought. Interface administrators can change the look of the whole UniWiki. Bureaucrats can ban anyone from the UniWiki. Administrators can prevent a page from being edited. ![]() Wiki Curators have expert power to set standards and conventions. If you are a seasoned Wiki expert, lean towards innovation. If you are new to the UniWiki, lean towards tradition. Innovation moves us towards plenty, beauty and truth. Brave new ideas are always welcome and can be tested on sandbox pages. Iterative improvements can only get you so far due to diminishing returns. Do not think you can or should destroy everything and rebuilt the UniWiki. Either you are a brilliant inventor or you didn't foresee difficult problems your predecessors faced. If you have an obvious solution to a problem that no one has ever solved before, think again. UniWiki is created and maintained by volunteers, both within and outside EVE University, bound by a common set of ideals.
