Doctor Lautrec Wiki:Rules of Creating and Editing



This is a basic guideline on what to do (and what not to do), how to write an article, and stuff like that.

Rules
 * 1) When adding information that is not obvious from the game itself, please provide a citation to a reliable source.
 * 2) Swearing is not allowed on any part of this wiki. No exceptions.
 * 3) Fan art and fan fiction are not allowed on this wiki.
 * 4) Speculation is not allowed on this wiki.
 * 5) Opinion is not allowed on this wiki, due to NPOV (see Writing Guidelines below).
 * 6) You are allowed to post things such as fan art, speculation, and opinion on your own user profile page.
 * 7) Please do not edit other people's user profile pages. You may leave messages on user talk pages, but do not delete or alter existing messages on other people's user talk pages.
 * 8) Only admins can block users. Usually, users are only blocked for vandalism. Users who are not vandals, but break the rules repeatedly and refuse to listen to warnings will get several chances. If they continue to break the rules, they may be blocked for a short period of time. If they continue to break the rules after their return, they will be banned for successively longer periods or (eventually) permenantly.

Writing Guidelines 5. For Locations: Each major location gets an article. A location article should include:
 * 1) On the Doctor Lautrec Wiki, the main goal is to provide useful, complete information. However, to give out the best information, one must be neutral without bias or opinion. This is called a Neutral Point of View, or NPOV. For example, avoid using 'I', 'I think', 'I like/hate'. Please write in third person. If you absolutely must write in first person, that's OK, but don't blatantly disregard NPOV.
 * 2) For article titles, please use the subject's official name, e.g. 'Doctor Lautrec' instead of 'Main Character'.
 * 3) Please use correct grammar and spelling. If there is a word that is spelled differently between Europe and the United States, e.g. 'color' and 'colour', leave it alone.
 * 4) For Character: Each character gets an article, as long as they are important enough. If not, they should be grouped into pages that show all of its inhabitant's traits. Each page of a character should have the following sections:
 * The Infobox, with relevant information about the character,
 * Optionally, Appearance and Personality sections to further describe their characteristics,
 * Optionally, a Trivia section, describing any popular culture references or other trivia worth noting,
 * Optionally, an External links section relevant to the character including links to official pages, informative resources, shrines, etc.
 * The Appearance section, detailing what the place is like or what is found there,
 * The Story section, detailing what effect it had on the plot (if any),
 * If possible, Trivia,
 * If there are any, put pictures of said place in the Gallery section.
