General Notes by Wikia
There are very few policies which apply across all Wikia. These can be found on the Central Wikia at Wikia:Category:Policy.
Other policies for this Wikia will be decided by the wiki community. It's generally best to keep policies as simple as possible, and not to introduce too many rules. A growing wiki can usually do well with a few simple policies and a lot of good will and cooperation.
Adding [[Category:Policy]] to any policy pages will add them to the policy category.
Here is the simplified ruleset from wikipedia. Worth reading!
All rules/guidelines should clearly say that these are advices to make the wiki more valuable.
General Guidelines for the Vim Tips Wiki
Since we have a lot of content, we need some guidelines to get the wiki in good shape. This page is the starting point for people asking how to do it right. We are thinking of three groups of users:
- Readers, that find typos or add a small comment, should just be bold. The idea is that content is more important than form. So if you want to contribute, simply click edit and write your stuff.
- Contributors of new tips should also get along with Project:Golden Rules. These could get an account to watch their pages.
- Editors that review and repair other tips (may they be new or imported), should get aquainted with the more detailed guidelines below. Editors are encouraged to join the list]
Detailed Guidelines for editors
Most of the tips were imported from a database on http://vim.org. Some tips have low quality, or are outdated, or misformatted etc. So we need a lot of help to enhance them. Tips that need help can be found in Category:Review. For these tips we have developed more detailed guidelines:
- Vim_Tips_Wiki:General_guidelines
- Vim_Tips_Wiki:Title_guidelines
- Vim_Tips_Wiki:Comment_guidelines
- Vim_Tips_Wiki:Category_guidelines
- Vim_Tips_Wiki:Discussion_guidelines
- Vim_Tips_Wiki:Delete_guidelines
These ideas arose from the list discussions and Forum:What_is_the_ultimate_goal_for_Tips_pages?.
