Wiki Etiquette

There's no way that I can write a full page on what you should and should not do in a Wiki. Simply keep in mind that this is a forum for creative thoughts and opinions, and that others have just as much right to their opinions as you do; don't start deleting things just because you don't agree with them. On the other hand, if someone leaves a comment like “wow u all suck", then it's perfectly legitimate to simply strike that comment from the page.

Please note that this Wiki is slightly different in purpose than that one, so not all the ideas there are applicable here; however, it provides a good example of a Wiki that Works.



In terms of style, a good way to leave a new comment on a page is to put a medium-sized horizontal rule (say, with --) at the bottom and add your comments below it. If you wish, you may then sign your name at the end of your comment, like I'm doing here. --Cirne

And if you have something to say in response to another's comment, then simply make a paragraph break and add your response in italics. --Notcirne

And keep alternating like that for an entire thread of comments.
