Wiki Documentation Guidelines

The Tardis Mod wiki allows any user to edit its wiki, provided they are granted the Editor role. In order to keep track of changes made to Wiki pages, the following guidelines need to be followed to ensure the content is well organised and consistent.


Clarity and Expression

As a public documentation, this wiki needs to be written with clear and precise language, so anyone who has a basic grasp of the English language (or other languages this wiki is translated to) can understand it.

Grammar, Spelling and Punctuation

Correct grammar, spelling and punctuation for the page's language is required.

Bias, Accuracy and Appropriate Language

As readers of all ages can access this document, the language used in the articles must be made to a fairly high standard.

Accuracy

The information provided in the articles must be accurate in portraying how a particular feature is used and behaves. Please contact the mod authors via the Discord server if clarification about a feature is needed.

Bias

The information presented must also be as neutral as possible. This means personal opinions of a feature should not be written into a page edit.

Appropriate Language

As a public document designed to document the a Minecraft Mod, this wiki does not support other discussions to be published, such as vulgar language, political opinions or misinformation about the mod. 

A general suggested guideline is aiming for articles to be appropriate for children over the age of 13 to read. 

Changelogs

The wiki's current application, Bookstack App, does not have a comphrehensive version control system. It currently only allows users to overwrite the latest version of a page. 

To keep track of changes made, and to allow wiki administrators to easily revert inappropriate content, each time a page is created or edited, a changelog message must be provided. This changelog message should be short and concise and include what was changed.


Wiki Structural Changes

The wiki currently follows the BookStack App's document conventions of organising its content. Contributors to the wiki are recommended to follow this convention.

You are free to make new articles and chapters, and sort existing books. 

However, if you would like to create a new Book, Shelf or Chapter, please contact one of the mod authors or wiki administrators for advice.
