Rules of the Wiki

  1. Never name an article starting with “The”.
  2. Shorten article names when possible, put the full name as an alias and/or header. E.g.: Remove “Kingdom of …”
  3. Keep notes in the correct folder, do not makes sub-folders:
    • /_META for things about the wiki itself
    • /Session Reports and /Player Characters for the relevant articles (which are also tagged respectively)
    • /World Notes for everything else
  4. Make articles atomic and typed with tags.
    • Keep articles (not session reports) about only 1 thing and embed (![[articlename]]) articles in groupings.
    • Use the correct tag with the correct article, at the first line of the article. See Tags for details on the tags and when to use them.
    • ❗All tags should be fully lowercase
  5. Link articles to the corresponding world at the top of the article.
  6. Try to avoid making orphans (files that don’t like to, or from, anywhere). These make navigating the wiki more difficult.

Tasks

  • not done task
  • done task

Predefined callouts

Callouts are used to section off information into blocks that are visible and colored. Stick to the dedicated use for predefined callouts in order to avoid confusion.

Abstract

Aliases: “abstract”, “summary”, “tldr” Abstracts are used for summaries, often for Session Notes.

Quote

Aliases: “quote”, “cite” Quotes are used when specifically citing information given by a voidmaster that is written word-for-word. Information in here is good to trace back to it source. If a given quote is to be proven false, it can be determined the NPC lied and not that notes taken were incorrect, because the quote must be cited correctly from the words of the voidmaster.

Question

Aliases: “question”, “help”, “faq” Question callouts are used for unknowns, open plotpoints, possible quests or investigation points that are unanswered.

Todo

Aliases: “todo” Todo’s are used for things that should be done in the wiki. So not anything in The Void but things that are missing from the wiki
