Help:Editing

The Corepunk wiki strives for a comprehensive archive of information about the videogame Corepunk. As such, it allows anybody to contribute, no matter how big or small the contribution. You do not need to register to contribute to the wiki. If you don't register, your edits will be publicly linked to your IP address.

General Guidelines

• Edits should be formal, unbiased, factual, and straightforward.

• Information should be relevant, cited by a verified source, and accessible (readable).

• The best way to learn how to edit is to look at the source code of other articles. This can be done by clicking on the icon in the navigation bar.

Minor Edits

A minor edit signifies that a small, superficial change has been made to the previous version. This may include, but is not limited to: fixing typos, spelling and/or grammatical mistakes; altering page appearance and/or structure; updating inaccurate information; or addition of detail that is of little importance to the overall article.

To signify a minor edit, tick the checkbox labeled "This is a minor edit" above the "Save changes" button. Minor edits are not enforced, nor are they meant to be: they provide an at-a-glance summary of what changed about an article. Marking an edit as minor does not mean the contributor should forgo writing an edit summary. Editors should not feel that marking an edit as minor devalues their contribution in any way.

Major Edits

Major edits are, simply put, edits that are not considered to be minor. Editors should first consider adding to to the relevant talk page and getting consent from relevant editors first before making the contribution. If an edit takes place over an extended period, consider using the {{in use}} template to prevent edit conflicts.

Article Creation

Before article creation, ensure that it is necessary and relevant to Corepunk. Novice editors are reccommended to begin with smaller edits first before creating a new article.

Sourcing

This wiki must minimise the risk copyright infringements, particularly when adding works of organisations different to Artificial Core. As such, editors uploading copyrighted content must care to link the correct source. To fall under fair use, this content must be used for educational purposes only. Templates such as {{quotation}} or {{blockquote}} aid in the sourcing process.

Talk Pages

Talk pages are used to discuss possible changes to a particular article before it becomes a submitted contribution. If an editor is unsure about a contribution, it is reccommended to ask in the article in question's related talk page.

Editors should sign their contributions to a talk page with their signature with four tildes (i.e. "~~~~")

Templates

Templates are pages used specifically for the purpose of inclusion in other pages. They are commonly used for appearance and formatting, and are included in a page by typing {{template name}}.
