Wiki Documentation Guidelines
The Tardis Mod wiki allows any user to edit its wiki, provided they are granted the Editor role. The following guidelines need to be followed by editors to ensure the wiki 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 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
General Conventions
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.
Locked Content
Some parts of the wiki, such as the Home Book are intended to only be edited by the mod authors and require you to ask for permission to change.
Please do not modify any of the following content without first gaining permission by the mod authors:
- Home Book and articles within it
If you feel there is a change that needs to be made, please contact them via the Discord Server. Please specify what you think needs to be changed, and reasons for doing so.
